4-Star Hotels in Otago, New Zealand

I had a great experience at Scenic Hotel. During check-in, the male staff member was extremely friendly and helpful. He gave me lots of useful information about the area, including the best places to eat, where to park, and tips for seeing the penguins. His local knowledge really helped make our trip easier and more enjoyable. The next morning, after coming back late from travelling, I asked the reception if I could check out 15–20 minutes later. The staff member on morning reception was very cool, understanding, and friendly. She happily allowed the late checkout with no issues at all. Overall, both staff members provided excellent service, and I really appreciated their kindness and helpful attitude. Highly recommend this hotel for both comfort and outstanding customer service!

My recent stay at Oakridge Resort Lake Wanaka was overall a very positive experience, thanks to its fantastic amenities. After long days spent exploring the stunning surrounding landscapes, the hot pools were an absolute highlight. Soaking in the warm water under the stars was incredibly relaxing and a perfect way to unwind tired muscles. This was definitely a standout feature of the resort and something I greatly appreciated. If I were to be particularly picky, the only minor annoyance during my stay was a faint but persistent hissing sound coming from the telephone line in my room. While it wasn't overly loud, it did become a little distracting when trying to get to sleep. Despite this small issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Oakridge Resort.

Very happy with our Accomodation at Aria on Bank Dunedin. The self contained unit for a couple was modern, very clean, fresh & well presented. Free (No fee) use of laundry ( washing machine & dryer) for all tenants to use. Our room was missing a frying pan which i needed to cook. I contacted the front desk, the gentleman receptionist immediately ran & I mean ran to our unit to confirm it was missing & sure enough none to be located. He left & returned a couple mins later with a replacement frying pan & utensil. Outstanding service. AAA+++ RATING for service & excellence.

Located around the city centre, with a lot of restaurants and shops just outside the hotel. Free parking for staying guest, guest can also use their washing machine. Room is clean and big, with free wifi access.

Friendly staff, comfortable bed, good water supply and heating. A very good location that is near to eating places. A complete kitchenette. Will visit again, highly recommended motel to stay in Dunedin.

I recently stayed at Scenic Hotel Southern Cross and had a very pleasant experience. One of the biggest highlights of this hotel is its excellent location – it's within walking distance to many of Dunedin's main attractions, including the Railway Station, Baldwin Street (the world’s steepest street), and Queen’s Gardens. Whether you're in town for sightseeing or just want convenient access to key places, this hotel is ideally situated. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were warm and welcoming, making the entire stay hassle-free. The room was clean and well-maintained, providing a comfortable space to relax after a day of exploring the city. Another plus is the on-site hotel parking, which is a great convenience, especially in a central location like this. Overall, I’d recommend Scenic Hotel Southern Cross for anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located hotel in Dunedin with friendly service and all the essentials covered.

The hotel was renovated from a historic building. The soft furnishings are a way of turning waste into treasure, giving old objects new functions and also serving as decorations. It is very tasteful. If you are familiar with sports in New Zealand, I believe you will be interested in the hotel's collection. The hotel is in a good location, at the north end of Thames Street, the main street of 600 meters. There is a supermarket next to it. Parking is available on the street, free on weekends. The room is more than 3 meters high, so even if the room is not big, it does not feel cramped. The photo shows the distinctive buildings around the hotel.

Cromwell is a beautiful place and this motel was perfect for our stay which included a trip to the Carrick Winery restaurant and a walk along the Cromwell to Clyde trail. The host gave us great tips on where to eat breakfast and overall was a super stay

Situated right next to st claire beach.walking distance to second beach and short drive to tunnel beach.Many restaurants around, good if you self drive. There's no other amenties at the hotel and they are strict about their check in time. As it has only 4~5 stories high, you can look right into the room from the ground floor/street level. If you dont mind the lack of privacy, ultimately the view is great!

When I was looking for a hotel, I saw that the description mentioned the building was a hundred years old, which piqued my interest, so I booked it. Upon checking in, the Fijian staff member at the front desk told me the building was actually over 110 years old – much older than my family of three combined! I didn't know whether to be amazed or just amazed. Although the building is very old, the stay itself was quite good; it had everything we needed. Plus, the front desk specifically bought a lot of food for breakfast and brought it to our room, which was a unique experience. Walking around Dunedin in the morning, I noticed many old houses and buildings along the streets, giving it a historical feel. However, it seemed like many of them were vacant now, with trash cans just piled up outside. I wonder if it's due to population migration or decline.
