    Julie is an amazing host! So friendly, welcoming and helpful. The property is in a perfect location near the university, city centre, Otago Museum, Art Gallery and many cafes, restaurants and bars. The rooms in the guest house are lovely, the beds comfy, and everything spotlessly clean. The continental breakfast is plentiful and the dining room sunny and light. This was my second stay and this is now my go-to accommodation in Dunedin!

    Great location near the city center, various shops and Intercity bus stop. Also walking to the Otago Museum was not far. Very good, that not everyone can hang around inside the hostel (only guests have a keycard for this). Nice common rooms and amazing rooftop terrace. The room and bathroom were a good size and very clean.
