Distinction Dunedin Hotel
This was a great stay my only dissapointment was having purchasing breakfast option we were unable to purchase from the "real" breakfast menu eg porridge or omelet rather restricted to hot buffet.

Kingsgate Hotel Dunedin
Breakfast was the same every morning x5. Fruit varied but heated food always baked beans, yuk, scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon/sausages. No ability to put together maybe an egg benny meal, or maybe salmon for a bagel meal.
