While dated, all your basic needs are taken care of. The entrance to the unit is a patio style glass sliding door, so you have a wide open view of the parking lot, and vice versa. The bed was comfortable. The TV included a good selection of cable channels. Within easy walking distance of the Dunedin Botanic Garden, Tuhura Otago Museum, and many restaurants.
