Greetings and salutations Geoff,
Thank you so much for your outstandingly detailed assessment of your stay with us in Dunedin earlier in the year. The team here at Distinction are all most pleased that we could add to your evident enjoyment and satisfaction of your three nights at the hotel. We would also like to extend our belated best birthday wishes to you.
I infer from your description that you enjoyed one of our opulent and spacious Two Bedroom Suites. The two discreet bedrooms are interposed with a spacious and comfortable common lounge area. Combined with the excellent bathroom facilities, including the wondrous 'rainfall' showers – a feature of all room types – and the in-room guest laundries, we are confident that our product is unsurpassed by any other local hotel.
It is excellent too that you enjoyed a relaxing breakfast in our on site Parcels Restaurant. As you stayed in January – the peak of the package tour season – there were indeed some larger groups also in house. Nonetheless, we are adept at accommodating both our independent travellers such as yourself and your good lady wife, as well as our larger groups of intrepid sight-seers from all across the globe.
As you reference,the historical element pervading Distinction Dunedin is also an attractive feature on which we receive much comment. As I too share your interest in days of yore, I readily concur that there are many interesting details to ponder. Many original features have been retained, complimenting the contemporary features of the 2015 renovation. Among these are our discreet one-time post office vaults. These are an excellent option for private small-group gatherings, and the renovation of these areas provide an atmosphere evoking an Edwardianesque aesthetic. These areas are also adorned with an array of several interesting 1930s-era photographs, documenting the construction of the former Dunedin Chief Post Office.
Finally, we are thrilled that the ladies and gentlemen on our team exhibited their typical friendly and helpful demeanors.
Thanks again Sir. We would be pleased to see you again in future.
Best regards
Nigel
Distinction Dunedin
