Serviced apartments and motels give travellers something hotels often cannot: space to spread out and a kitchen to use. The 315 Euro Motel and Serviced Apartments fits that role in Dunedin, offering a choice of units that can suit couples, families and groups. For anyone staying more than a night or two, a kitchen can transform a trip, allowing a quiet breakfast before an early tour, a packed lunch for a day on the peninsula and a simple dinner after a long walk. Dunedin's climate, with its cool evenings and changeable weather, makes a comfortable, warm unit with a lounge especially welcome. The location in the city area gives access to the centre, supermarkets and the main roads, making it a practical base for travellers with a vehicle. Because the property includes both motel units and serviced apartments, it is important to check which type you are booking and what it includes, from the number of bedrooms to the laundry facilities and parking. Families will appreciate the chance to settle in, and groups of friends can share the cost of a larger apartment.
Location and getting around
Ask the property for travel times to the Octagon, the railway station and the main attractions. A car is handy, and most motels offer parking near the unit. Taxis and buses serve the area, and tours can often collect you from the property.
Rooms
Motel units usually provide a bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette, while serviced apartments may offer separate bedrooms and larger living areas. Check bed configurations, laundry and heating. If you need cots or extra beds for children, ask in advance. Linen and cooking equipment are normally provided, though details vary.
Who it suits
Families, groups of friends, couples on longer stays and travellers who prefer self-catering. It is also useful for visitors attending events or working in the city for a few days. If you want a hotel-style experience with daily housekeeping, a restaurant and a bar, you may prefer a city hotel.
Planning your days
With a kitchen you can build a relaxed routine, cooking breakfast, packing a picnic for the peninsula and returning to a proper dinner. Groups can split the day, with some visiting Olveston or the Botanic Garden while others take the harbour ferry. Stock up at a supermarket on arrival so that you are ready for early starts to catch the wildlife.
Good to know
Reception hours and check-in procedures may differ from a hotel, so arrange late arrival in advance. Housekeeping may be limited on longer stays. Check supermarket locations nearby and bring or buy supplies on arrival, since the first night may be the best time to stock up.
