This place is perfect to unwind and located right beside the beach. They have everything you need inside. Amazing shower and the bed is super comfortable. We met the owner the next morning and he was so kind! If you're in Dunedin definitely drive the extra few minutes to stay here, you won't be disappointed!

We absolutely loved our stay. We were greeted upon arrival and immediately felt welcomed and at home. The room was perfect and even had biscuits and lollies. The bed felt like a marshmallow and we even had our own balcony which overlooked the water. The bathroom was super clean and the shower was great. The house is centrally located and is super close to Larnachs Castle which we absolutely loved. We couldn’t recommend staying with Paul and Paulo more. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Dunedin!

The accommodation is perfect. The hostel's location is unbeatable. Just a 10-minute walk takes you to the city center. The surrounding area is super safe, with plenty of free and secure parking. By car, you're just 5 minutes from the most popular supermarkets. You can go for a leisurely walk through the area's parks, as well as to the city center, and you'll always feel safe. As for the facilities, everything is absolutely new and spotless. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. There are plenty of bathrooms, and they're always clean and fully equipped with soap, hand towels, and hair dryers! The showers have hot water and excellent water pressure, and plenty of space for everyone who wants to use them. It has many very comfortable seating areas with new, super-comfortable armchairs, ideal for relaxing with your laptop or cell phone undisturbed. The kitchen is something never seen before. All the cutlery, glasses, cups, and pots and pans are brand new. Plenty of space to cook, and above all, the necessary utensils. A microwave, oven, toaster, French press coffee maker, and all the kitchen utensils you could need. The best thing about this area is that it has a beautiful view of the street with large windows that allow you to enjoy your coffee in complete relaxation. The TV area is wonderful. The TV is state-of-the-art and allows you to watch all the streaming platforms while reclining or sitting on the new armchairs. It's also an excellent area to read a book or chat with the other tenants. One of my favorite spaces. At the same time, everything mentioned above has a classic and impeccable style that gives off an air of tranquility and comfort that I've rarely experienced in a hostel. Lastly, and best of all, is the attentiveness of the hosts. They are always attentive and willing to help with anything you need, improving and adding elements to the place to make your stay feel like being in your own home.
