“If only all hotels and motels were as good as the Bluestone.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We sent four very happy nights at the Bluestone. It more than met our expectations. Reception was welcoming, showed us local attractions and restaurants on a city map. The studio room was beautifully designed and furnished: stainless steel kitchen with washer dryer, coffee making, microwave, full size fridge, good selection of glasses and crockery, desk, couch, LCD TV etc. The hotel has good value ethernet broadband and wifi in the room. The bathroom has a huge jacuzzi bath, very good toiletries and plenty of towels. The outside area is pleasantly landscaped with tables for guest use and there is even a small gym. The location at the beginning of the main shopping, cafe and restaurant area on George and Princess streets is ideal. This was everything we needed and excellent value.
Whilst in Dunedin, don't miss the Tairei Gorge train trip (get seats on the right hand side to see the gorge), Otago Peninsula and Larnach Castle, and also drive along the north side of Otago Harbour, past Port Chambers to Aramoana and walk out on The Mole. great views, quiet beaches and seals.

“Perfect accommodation - place of refuge from a long day of sightseeing with the comfort of home away from home.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We found this place to be one of the best to stay in during our month of traveling. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the rooms and the inclusions of modern entertainment. The library of DVD movies provided retreat following our long day of sightseeing. The kitchenette and laundry were convenient. The jet spa bath in the bathroom was a great highlight to our evenings (and there are heated floors). Free parking was great and wi-fi Internet was available. Even if you don't have a computer or tablet, they do have free access in the lobby on the hotel laptop. The patio outside the room was quaint with a view of the city. The concierge was very knowledgeable of the city sights and had recommendations for day trips. We would definitely visit this place next time we visit. Highly recommended.

“Superior accomodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

This motel was one of the best equipped we stayed in whilst travelling around New Zealand. Even had a washer/drier. It was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It was a short stroll to the centre of Dunedin. Russell, the stand-in host, was extremely friendly and helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

“Great base for exploring Dunedin & Otago”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We chose Bluestone on George from reading the Trip Advisor reviews and we were not disappointed. The room was spacious, very clean and having a kitchen in the room was extremely useful (especially the washing machine!). The hotel is set back from the road so there was no traffic noise and the off-street car park was a bonus. The owners were very friendly and helpful during our 3 night stay. Recommend it.
