“A bit far out but ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

To stay in this motel you have to have a car or else it is way to far to walk to the city. Had a friendly as cat that came in to visit the room, really cute and adorable. The cleaning service crew was great, really cleaned everything in the room including the dishes. One thing that kind of bugged me was, there's 4 of us in the room, the next morning when I asked for some extra milk on top of the standard little jug that was given I was told to go to the dairy to buy some. A bit cheeky I thought, newspaper never came but I have to say, they let us stay past the 10 am check out time so we could finish our laundry, maybe an extra 15-20 minutes, so that was a point for them.

“PERFECT”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 December 2011

My owners stayed here for one night at the end of a long and fun road trip. When they did get to the motel they were so pleased, there was so much space and everything was clean and ready for them to chillax before the long drive home back to me. They said I could have stayed too so maybe I'll get to meet the really friendly lady human who gave owner mum the key, she was friendly and helpful owner mum says. She gave them milk for a cup of tea, she sounds nice. They have 2 cats who I would like to make friends with, owner mum says they were friendly too. Owner mum used the 1/2 hr free interweb, owner dad got some more from the office which cost a few small monies. It was a good walk into the city centre, I would not like it, I would prefer to go the other way to the park and botanical gardens which is closer, so I would be very happy here.
Thank you Garden Motel, my owners were well rested and had a safe jouney home with their friends thanks to your lovely comfy beds.

“Very good motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

The motel is in North Dunedin - too far to walk to the city centre, but not difficult by car. We had a two-bedroom unit which was completely satisfactory. It had a full kitchen including an oven.

“Comfortable and Clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2011

We had a one bedroom unit then swapped to a two bedroom unit, both were very clean, comfortable and very pleasant. Very convenient situation, and a dear little cat who came to visit. Friendly owners who were very helpful. Would happily recommend staying here.
