We had such a lovely stay at Bluestone on George. It’s a little slice of luxury in a great location. We only stayed two nights but had everything we needed. Parking was also easy and convenient on the hotel grounds which is something that was important to us during our three week road trip. Highly recommend staying here.

The property was very clean, had stylish decor and lots of thoughtful amenities - such as a well-equipped kitchenette, washing machine and comfortable seating area. The location was convenient to town and the university and the off-street parking was an added bonus. Will definitely be going back there to stay again.

My wife and I had the best stay in Dunedin at the Bluestone. Our room was more than what we had expected, spacious, clean, warm, and quiet. We couldn't have asked for more friendly and helpful staff. The Bluestone was very handy to the University, cafes, and shops. Will definitely stay again.

Comfortable, clean and spacious accommodation that was convenient for our short stay in Dunedin. The owners were friendly and the room was well-equipped with all the amenities you'd need. The only downside was the loud music we could hear from a nearby venue (our stay did include Friday and Saturday nights) well into the night. Apart from this we would highly recommend this place.

Great location, elegant and pristinely clean

Bluestone on George provides an immaculate, serene hotel room perfect for couples. The owners also offer small bottles of wine and a cheese and cracker plate available during happy hour in the lobby sitting area. It feels almost as though you’re sitting in an elegant home. The the courtyard is well kept and clean. Parking is free, which is a bonus! We were able to walk to most everywhere in downtown Dunedin from the hotel. The owners are on site and actually must have an apartment above or below the reception area. There were a few times we had questions during our multi day stay and needed to ring a buzzer because they were hard at work elsewhere in the hotel. I would say the benefit of them being the owners and Onsite regularly is everything runs smoothly. If I had to search for a negative, which is hard to do, it would be that I felt bad, interrupting their work to ask questions. For those with mobility issues, there is a working elevator and handicapped spaces. If you arrive late, and all parking spaces are taken the walk of the very short hill to reception is quite steep. There was always ample parking for us the whole time we were there so that was not an issue. I’m just mentioning that for others reading this review. We selected a top floor loft, which had a small step out balcony with views of the area towards George Street. Very nice to open the doors to see he balcony.
