I would look no further for accommodation in Dunedin. Very reasonable price, soft sheets (even my 8 year old commented on how nice the sheets were), soft absorbent towels, warm clean room, hot shower, 24/7 shop over the road, walking distance to main fast food hub on Great King St, and off street parking. Ticks all the boxes for me, thank you Alcala.

Top floor attic room. When warm (rare in Dunedin) no air con except a window. Very, very steep stairs up to the bedroom with slippery carpet on them. Shower over spa bath was a pain getting into and out of.
