“Very cool place to relax and watch the world go by.”

“Excelent attention! really recomend 100%. Good staff”

“Such a cool cafe! Loved the artistic approach and can visualise how awesome it would be to have an event there. I only got a cappuccino as I was exploring more of the city but it was a great cappuccino at that! Highly recommend coming to Maggie’s for your next cup of coffee!”

“Very clean and spacious 1 bedroom unit. Great strong shower and very comfortable bed. Easy walking distance to the centre of town. Staff/management friendly and welcoming. Carpark on site. Second time stay, will definitely stay again. Thankyou Elsie and John for another pleasant stay.”

“PRECINCT cafe at Otago Museum is my regular place to catch up with colleagues and friends over coffee. Today, I had jasmine lime tea, which was incredibly refreshing and organic, instead of a tea bag. I love their gluten-free carrot cake. The staff were attentive and friendly as usual and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Overall, Precinct Café offers an exceptional dining/coffee experience that I highly recommend to anyone visiting Dunedin.”

“Great vibes!! Super cute little bar. Drinks were delicious and fries were *chef's kiss* - will 100% be back. Also really liked that the cocktails were vegan (i.e. aquafaba instead of egg white).”

“Just a fantastic bar set out so well, made to feel very relaxing. The cocktails are amazing it is my favorite bar when I am in Dunedin. Great staff and the open fire place tops it off 10/10”

“We had a lovely night staying here ,with the window open all night listening to the waves crashing. Dinner down below was marvelous”

“Really good food, but very small portions for the price. Look, I don't mind paying a lot of money for good food, but giving an amazing bene with one piece of bread instead of two saves you $0.10 and takes away my full enjoyment of the meal. I would be posting a 5 star review if I just received two pieces of bread.”

“Good place to have a good breakfast to start the day. Very friendly staffs and they are helpful. In the afternoon, there are variety choices of cakes for tea time. Good Earl Grey tea served here.”

“Amazing little place that can fit about 50 people or so. It is really better than what I expected. I try the mix grill and I really really enjoined it. The meat is so fresh and testy. The service was fast it took about 12 minutes for me to get my order which is normal for fresh grill . For desert I tried the baclava which really good. The only thing I really did not like as much is the hummus. The rest I really enjoyed it. The staff was amazing and very friendly with great smile . Wish them the best I will definitely will stop my again whenever I am in town.”

“First time had breakfast from here, even though visited couple of times before. Food surpassed my expectations. Egg Benedict with bacon was yummy.Perfectly cooked bacon and tasty bread. Big breakfast was good too. Also,best friand ever.Coffee was ok. I think morning is the perfect time to visit this cafe. Other times the cafe seems very busy and you will get least attention.”
