Best Hotels in Mornington

We stayed 4 nights in the superior King room (Room 206) during the blizzard of Oct 2022. The room and bathroom were well-appointed and stunningly presented. It looks as good as advertised. The experience was excellent from check-in to check-out. Valet parking service was prompt and exceptional value - 30NZD a day feels like a steal. Service was attentive, responsive but not stuffy. Without intending to omit anyone, Romaine/Ramon(?) in The Press Club and Lianna(?) on the front desk were particularly easy to talk to. Of the 4 fine dining dinners we had in Dunedin, The Press Club at Fable was the stand out. It was well ahead of so-called ‘hatted’ restaurants like Moiety (don’t eat at Moiety, it’s terrible). The venison rack was a highlight.

Its in a good location, so easy to walk around town. Parking is good. The place was very clean. Unfortunately the bed was a queen and had seen better days. Quite uncomfortable if we're honest. We'd booked an extra large bed, which we expected to be a king size or two singles joined together. Probably should have asked for an upgrade in hindsight. Room was okay, the duvet was nice and warm, and the room temperature good. It was a bit noisy due to the road outside and some people noise, but that's not the properties fault. The water pressure in the bathroom sink was fantastic, but the shower was pretty lame. Overall it was just above average. We're probably just disappointed because we'd paid similar money somewhere else and this it was not nearly as good.

The hotel is in the city center, it is very convenient to go anywhere, and the parking space is a bit nervous. The proprietress is very good, booked a standard room of 2*0.9, see that we bring children, directly upgraded the suite that can accommodate up to 5 people, the price difference is 11 New Zealand dollars. Breakfast is 5 New Zealand dollars.

I was initially concerned by some poor reviews this hotel received recently but was pleasantly surprised by the result. I had a great stay here. Maybe I was lucky and stayed at the right time, but if the hotel can maintain consistent standards across all guests I am sure they would move much higher in the traveller rankings. During my stay I had the privilege of staying in one half of the Queen’s room. It’s certainly not the standard it was when her majesty stayed here back in 1954 but it was undeniably comfortable. The toilet showed signs of wear and tear but it was clean. The beds were also made each day and the mattress was extremely comfortable. There definitely needs to be some work done to sound proof the room as traffic can be heard from the room. Guess that is what the ear plugs provided were for! I would have no qualms staying here again. Thanks for the great stay!!!

Very good hotel, very good in that location, complete and comfortable facilities, good service, good breakfast, convenient transportation, parking lot, and easy driving!

My daughter and I stayed recently in May at this motel. Because my daughter has a sleep apnoea machine we needed two bedrooms. Barry kindly gave us a unit upstairs which had a large possibly king size bed in one room and, in the lounge room, there was a single bed. Both beds were very comfortable and we slept well. Nice and quiet, no traffic noise. The bathroom with huge, the water was hot, towels were supplied every day. The unit was refreshed daily. New tea towels, detergent, shampoo. Spotlessly clean unit, had Netflix available as well as Sky TV. You could use the washing machine and dryer for four dollars, but we didn’t bother with that. I read somewhere that two of the units have washing machines in them. The kitchen had recently been refitted, microwave, hot plates, eating area of table and chairs. Handy location to stay in Dunedin, close to everything, warm and comfortable, parking on site. Barry and Donna went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable for which we are thankful and acknowledge their friendliness and advice. Would definitely recommend,

John and the lovely Barbara we there in our time of need. We had such an awful stay in Dunedin we looked for something better and by golly didn't we just! This fantastic Bed and Breakfast was an oasis of calm, peace and happiness. The welcome we received was second to none and the glass of wine on the terrace was just the tonic we needed. The building is modern with all up to date amenities, something which cannot be said of a very large part of NZ motels, sadly. Super modern room with fantastic bed, magic shower and spotlessly clean. Great TV offering including Netflix, another facility in excess of the norm, 5 channels, if you are lucky, in most motels etc. They have a guest kitchen where we cooked a meal, all the facilities you would have at home. The terrace outside our room overlooked alpaca and sheep and a lake. Fields and trees abound. I could wax lyrical about this place forever, it deserves a 6. The sleep quality was excellent, quiet with no sounds from other rooms. Breakfast in the main house with John in attendance, what a great guy, good fun, interesting to talk to. Breakfast was super, cereals, choice of breads, home made jams and marmalades, fruit, yoghurt and muesli, ample for anyone, but you can have cooked for a very small extra charge if required. We met some lovely people and had a good laugh,it felt very much like home. I would thoroughly recommend you stay here, and John and Barbara had been to Torquay in England where I was born, what more can you ask. Top Notch.

Excellent stay, very tidy and modern facilities. Close to yummy eateries and a supermarket. Easy drive to the center of town. Not far from Baldwin street - the steepest street in the world. Great value for money. Owners very accommodating with requests.

Stayed here for 3 nights, first time here and I was suitably impressed. After having stayed at Beechwood, Distinction, Quest and many of the hotels in Dunedin I thought this one didn’t deserve to be overlooked - and I’m really glad I chose it. From the friendly ‘reception’ staff (a pleasantly untypical reception btw), the wonderful cafe staff and food where I dined twice to the beautiful design and layout of the hotel My room was amazing… spacious, modern, reasonably quiet and everything I needed was there (apart from a microwave but I can live without that). Once I figured out how to work the TV I was all set, I really wish more hotels allowed you to watch Netflix, YouTube etc on the TV! Even the coffee station was unique. I can’t wait to return next year, thank you!

After reading many reviews on this site and looking for somewhere with two bedrooms we booked here. We knew there was an older part and a renovated part so we paid a little more for the newer two bedroom room. We got free parking as we booked directly with the hotel and had breakfast there in the morning. The room was excellent - all new and had everything we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went for a walk to the railway station and then to the Octogon all very close. The staff then helped us with a taxi to dinner. My nephew was unwell during the night and the staff left us say in the room a little while longer while he slept longer. They were very understanding and a great help. The only negative was the breakfast was a little dry as I think it had been sitting in the buffet for a while. It still tasted good and did the job of filling us up. We would stay and book this room again.
