We only stayed 1 night and found the motel to be adequate. Whilst older looking it was very well maintained and lovely and clean. Breakfast provisions in the fridge a lovely thought but never got to use them. If you book through Hotels.com just be aware that there was not a 2 x queen option despite being advertised as such....

Our stay in Dunedin was only for two nights: far too short. If we had been staying longer we would have been happy to remain at Farrys Motel. Our small but very well organized room was very clean and the Queen size bed was very comfortable. Besides the normal, Iron, hairdryer and tea making facilities, there was also a toaster... More

Just a short walk to downtown. Close to shops & restaurants. Spacious, clean rooms and a neat kitchen. Breakfast provisions a bonus. Great place to stay. More

This was fine for a short stay it was clean and the staff friendly enough but i wouldnt stay any longer than maybe 2-3 nights as it felt a bit cramped for a family. More

Judging from other reviews, I was a little apprehensive before arriving. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was large (living area, small kitchen, and separate bedroom) and comfortable. I read a review where someone complained about the beds, but mine was very comfortable. The room had good heat, was quiet, and, most importantly, was clean. Free internet! and a... More

Booked online from Australia 6 weeks previous to leaving with adult family of four. The price was good below $200.Provided was queen bed separate room with 2 singles in the combined living lounge. Close to shops and easy interesting walk to town center. The whole family was satisfied which is hard to do for 4 fuzzy adults. Internet connection and... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Farrys and wonder if the negative comments relate to another place as they don't match our experience at all. The rooms were spacious and the bedroom was separate from the living area. A further bonus were the two couches which meant you could really relax and watch TV in comfort like you were at... More

Not at all like the reviews, otherwise we would not have stayed. Room was newly decorated, good, more than adequate kitchen area and comfortable bed. The room was well serviced, very clean and the staff friendly. What else would you want from a motel at this price? George St can be noisy on Saturday night, with students returning from holidays....

Driving along George St. looking for a motel on Melbourne Cup Day and we stopped at Farry's as they were displaying a Vacancy sign. After agreeing to the rate they then directed us to our room/apartment which was located about 150 metres away on the other side of the street. Nothing wrong with the room although it looked to be...

We ensure that every arriving guest with a booking for those particular apartments is personally directed to them. We are sorry to hear that you found the access a little strange, however we find that the access to those apartments gives them better privacy from the street and provides excellent car parking facilities. We are happy to learn that you... More

We stayed just one night here before checking out and moving elsewhere. The motel was very clean and had a seperate lounge but it was really very small. The bathroom was a cupboard and the bedroom only seemed to just fit a double bed. The bed was possibly the most uncomfortable i have ever slept on. After trying the couch... More

Having read your comments we are slightly confused. The description of the room you were staying in does not fit with any of the suites we have here at the motel. Our suite sizes could certainly not be classed as small or cupboard like. Our beds are all of a high standard and we often upgrade our mattresses to ensure... More
