We had an awesome family holiday in Dunedin and Alhambra was a big part of us enjoying our time. The owner was friendly and kind and we like the room so much we extended our trip by one night so we could enjoy it for longer. She was very accommodating. There's plenty of free parking on-site and it was an easy walk to the stadium and local restaurants etc. Even our primary aged kids found the walking distance OK. We will definitely come back to stay again. Thank you.
