Dunedin House- Boutique Hotel

Dunedin House- Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The entire stay was outstanding. In addition to a great location, comfortable-spotless room, courteous staff, and generous breakfasts, the owners/innkeepers could not have been more gracious and helpful. At every turn they offered assistance and support, making our visit an exceptional stay. We met many kind people in New Zealand, but put them at the top of the list. "
