Book a Top Waitati Motel

"Overall very good experience."

"It was easy to find, and in a great location, close to lots of restaurants and city centre."

"I really enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff were very friendly and helpful."

"Breakfast was great & parking felt safe, but with big cars it was a bit tight."

"Great location. Beautifully clean and beds are amazing. Great staff."

"Small but stylish hotel a short distance from the centre of Dunedin. Free hotel parking was a real bonus. We had a queen room which had views out over the city. The room was well equipped and nicely furnished. The included breakfast was outstanding; freshly cooked to order. Anabel was a very welcoming host and her dog, Lola, a delight."

"Great place to stay"

"There are hotels that provide lodging, and then there are places that restore your faith in human hospitality. The Chamberson belongs firmly in the second category. The building itself carries the dignified weight of history and a kind of understated luxury that modern hotels often try too hard to imitate. The rooms are beautifully designed and very Dunedin with its low-key sophistication: spacious, quiet, and comfortable in all the ways that matter. But what truly sets The Chamberson apart from other hotels in Central Dunedin are the people behind it: Michael and Jackie. Travel has become increasingly frictionless and increasingly impersonal at the same time. We move through airports, apps, kiosks, and automated messages. Then occasionally you meet someone who reminds you that hospitality is not a set of instructions but a human gift, the gift of making a stranger feel welcome in a new place or unfamiliar situation. Jackie and Michael have that rare gift. Years from now, I may forget the details of the room, but I will remember the feeling of being genuinely welcomed and cared for during our stay at the Chamberson. P.S. The photos were taken from our suite on a rainy day. And still — what a view!"

"Lovely clean hotel with great views of the moon and sunrise from our ocean view room. Parking was easy. Took us a few attempts to get into the hotel from the carpark as the door latch seem to catch a little. Room was clean and well appointed with a comfy bed. TV took a while to respond and it took me a while to realise I needed to wait for it. Great amenities in the shower, though someone had already opened and used the bath salts that were provided. Great water pressure. Unfortunately the shower doesn't have a lip around it and the entire bathroom floor was soaked as water went everywhere. Really friendly and pleasant staff. Will definitely stay here again."
