Carisbrook Motel

“Wonderful place for us”

This was a great find. We had no reservation for any Dunedin lodging. When we arrived, downtown had many "no vacancies", and most that we saw was so cramped, we thought we would scrape the car getting in.

This was a great find. We had no reservation for any Dunedin lodging. When we arrived, downtown had many "no vacancies", and most that we saw was so cramped, we thought we would scrape the car getting in. We started out to see if something on the edge of town might work. We passed by the Carisbrook, and it had a vacancy; so we stopped. The host was warmly welcoming and provided this frazzled foreign couple with great information, good price, and a clean, spacious one bedroom, charmingly dated (but sufficiently modern) unit. We would absolutely go back if near Dunedin.

“Spacious rooms”

We stayed in the two bedroom motel room, very spacious and the beds were comfy. The rooms are a little dated in decor, but it didn’t bother us at all.

We stayed in the two bedroom motel room, very spacious and the beds were comfy. The rooms are a little dated in decor, but it didn’t bother us at all. The most important thing was a decent sized room and comfortable beds - which this motel had. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and supplies. The TV had sky with a great range of channels. A good location in Dunedin, less than 10 minutes drive into the CBD, and close enough to supermarkets and other shops. Would stay here again next time we’re in Dunedin.

“Would recommend ”

Lovely owners & quite large for the $130 we paid Separate kitchen, bedroom, shower, toilet. Single bed in lounge with TV & Sky service. Quite outdated in appliances and decor, noisy in the mornings with all the traffic going through but still great value for money!!! Would recommend easily

“3 star motel”

I have to keep reminding myself that this is a 3 star motel, but still they charge $142 per night. yes garaging is available, but not for all units, so the option for us was to park on the street, which I personally find odd, and a little frustrating for we didnt have an option. Off street parking… more

I have to keep reminding myself that this is a 3 star motel, but still they charge $142 per night. yes garaging is available, but not for all units, so the option for us was to park on the street, which I personally find odd, and a little frustrating for we didnt have an option. Off street parking not in a garage would have inconvenienced other motel guests. It was clean, but the decor was dated, and the shower had an old brass fitting and was fixed, so difficult to get a good wash. even an old slightly adjustable Toplis mixer would have been better. On a main road so there is road noise. Has sky with all the channels I suspect that at times, such as when concerts are at the stadium, and when the university year starts, motel rooms are at a premium.
