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.

We stayed here for one night when we came down for the Otago University open day. The property was in walking distance of Otago university & te mall. Room was tidy & had the required amenities. Since ours was a downstairs unit, there was some noise due to people walking in the upstairs unit. The noise itself wasn't too disruptive. The owner was a cheerful & friendly old person with a smile on his face.
