About this property

Opoho Heritage Guest Suite

Make your visit to Dunedin memorable at one of the iconic buildings of the city. This newly restored and fully self-contained guest suite was originally the old Opoho Hotel in the 1880s, then the Opoho store from 1904, and a Four Square from the 1980s.

Buses depart from directly outside and it is only a few minutes walk to the botanic gardens. The stadium and university are 2km away. It is 1 km to New World supermarket, 2.5km to Otago Museum and 4km to Dunedin City centre.

The Space
The building has three levels and the guest suite comprises the entire ground floor which has been newly restored. The suite layout consists of a private lounge with a king single bed, a spacious bathroom, kitchenette and a queen sized bed on the cosy mezzanine up the winding staircase. There are honeycomb blinds, which open from the bottom or top depending if you want light, the view or both. A new Fujitsu heat pump provides plenty of heating or cooling for Dunedin's diverse climate. A ceiling fan circulates air throughout the 4.5 metre-high original rimu ceilings and mezzanine.

Guest access
The suite has its own separate access via the main doors at the front of the building and has been designed to be fully self contained and private, with insulation throughout. The host will let you know where to collect the key before arrival.

Other things to note
Opoho is a very safe and peaceful neighborhood with plenty of parking space so you can rest assured when parking on the street.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchenette and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include an electric kettle, an ironing board, and a desk.
