“Really good Pharmacy, staff and pharmacist super helpful.”

“I came in tonight to get some medication for my husband and Jordan was so helpful. He rang my husband to see what other medication he was on and was so caring. We really appreciated his kindness, calm manner and time and overall excellent customer service. Thank you.”

“I stayed here for 13 nights in a Superior King Room on the 4th floor. Overall, it was a very comfortable and pleasant stay. The location is excellent — right in the heart of the city and just a short walk from The Octagon. Many major attractions, restaurants, pubs, banks, and a Woolworths are nearby. There are also around five Indian restaurants within walking distance, so it’s easy to find Indian lunch or dinner options. The room was spacious, quiet, and carpeted, with a king-size bed, two chairs, a table, and a bathroom with a bathtub. There was also a small kitchen area with a kettle, refrigerator, a few cutlery items, and complimentary tea, coffee, cookies, and milk provided daily. The bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of wardrobe space. Each room had an iron, ironing board, hair dryer, alarm clock, and a TV with around 22 channels (no Netflix or Amazon Prime). A heating pump and a separate fan were also available, which was very convenient. The room was cleaned daily, and towels were changed on alternate days. Breakfast was tasty and started at 6:30 am on weekdays and 7:00 am on weekends. I am vegetarian and found a few good vegetarian options. The breakfast spread included juices, breads, tea, coffee, hash browns, noodles, milk, curd, cornflakes, pancakes, muffins, croissants, and many more items. Breakfast was included in my booking; otherwise, it costs around $30 per person. I didn’t opt for lunch or dinner, but room service is available if needed. • Wi-Fi is free in all rooms and has good speed. • Laundry facilities are available; it costs $5 per cloth for washing and drying. • Elevator is available and works smoothly. • Car parking is available at $25 per night, but you can also find free parking nearby. • Check-in and check-out were smooth, quick, and hassle-free. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and available 24/7. They were always ready to assist with any request. A wonderful stay overall — perfect location, comfortable rooms, tasty breakfast, and great service. Highly recommended for families and anyone visiting Dunedin for a short or long stay.”

“A real time experience of hospitality from the front office to check in was a smooth ride . Very helpful, smiling faces and great attitude at work . Special thanks to Keila , Vennessa & Team Victoria Hotel Dunedin .”

“Fantastic Supermarket to shop at!! Easy to find what your looking for, good variety of food brands and products. Then the Staff are absolutely welcoming, helpful, kind friendly and overall you leave with a smile!!”

“A heartfelt thank you to the young woman who gave the most brilliant customer service on Wednesday 8th October at Dunedin Farmers Dept store. I am grateful for her assistance in not only serving me at the "pay here" counter (by the new entrance way) but carrying my rather awkward purchase to my car. Made a huge difference to my shopping experience. Unfortunately I did not take note of her name. Again thank you”

“my review is for SAM in the electronics department. Her help was invaluable on Saturday the 22nd November. She was so helpful and kind. thanks Sam”

“Great service... Very good customer interaction from the checkout girl Thankyou”

“Always always a very positive place. I drive some distance for the care and medical assistance that I get from this pharmacy.”

“Comfortable rooms, beds, and pillows. The staff are really helpful. We'd happily stay there again.”

“I had a stay for 5 weeks while having medical treatment. The wifi was great, I was able to work on my laptop easily. The rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable but the best part was the service. Nothing was a problem, Lee was very kind, caring and thoughtful, going above and beyond. The location is great and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thankyou Lee and team I appreciated your kindness ❤️”

The kitchen at Lake Waihola Cafe & Bar takes a classic fish-and-chips path and lets the food speak. Fish is cooked to a clean crunch and chips stay tidy. Sides support without crowding the star. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Amazing store, amazing staff Even new staff under training get to know regular customer preferences and in general they way the staff treat you is the best I've seen at any supermarket anywhere. Always clean and tidy and always has an atmosphere of welcome and efficiency. What I like the most is the age range of staff.”

“Stayed here two nights this trip! Rooms are good. Service at the pub is great too!!”

“We had a powered site for two nights (early October 2025). The bathrooms are very clean & tidy (plenty of toilets and showers). And there's a large kitchen, with a seated dining area. The hosts are very nice. Oh, the location is just behind the beach. And the caravan park is perfectly located = short 8min drive to the city (easiest parking for motorhomes is directly across the train tracks, from the Dunedin train station). It's a quick walk up over the tracks to access the train station AND the city centre. And 30min north-east of the caravan park is the Albatross Centre (worth going to). There's a "coastal route" and a "plateau route" = both are the MOST scenic drives you shall ever do in your life.”

“Can't recommend this place enough had an amazing stay very clean,tidy and lovely and quiet. excellent service and great staff highly recommended and only 5 minutes to town by car.”

“We attended our daughter's dinner in the chancellor room.We had a bar and a big dining room and foyer for photos for the wedding .Our hostess and bar tender Charlotte was personable and very professional.We loved the atmosphere and we were grateful for all the help Charlotte did for us by setting flowers and decorations around the room. 5 stars at the fable hotel. THANK YOU”

“First time staying here, and was so happy with our stay. Two bedroom apartment was perfect for our stay, plenty of room to relax. Location is great, easy walk to Forsyth Barr through the University and close to lots of food options.”

“cool rooms, can smoke on the deck, flexible and accommodating staff. as far as 3 start places this is a 5 star 3 star”

“As a visitor from NSW, Australia, I can't believe Woolworths has a pharmacy inside it! And it sells alcohol inside as well! (not a separate store like in Australia). Also saw sausages being sold in a plastic bag! Then my credit card bill still says Countdown instead of Woolworths, which was their old name! New Zealand is truly an interesting place.”

“Farrrrrr my g's, came here from aus 4 da mussels and u bloody didn't have any aye ! No worries but aye g, all iz forgiven, had heaps of raro and yummy focaccia churrrr, hahahah youse better b watching border security on telly when they pull me up at Sydney airport 4 having a suitcase full of raro aye hahahahaha Much love pak n save Dunedin”

“Absolutely outstanding service from Lisa, the checkout manager at Fresh Choice Roslyn, Dunedin. We asked if it was possible to organise a fruit gift basket — something most places would have simply said no to — but Lisa immediately sprang into action. With a can-do attitude and genuine customer care, she made it happen on the spot. We were so impressed by her initiative and professionalism. A real credit to the store. Thank you, Lisa!”

“Bargain chemist has superb and friendly service. Definitely my preference for otc medications and skincare.”

“Good friendly service in this store.”

“Excellent staff great atmosphere, nice place to have an ale”

The kitchen at Chong's Restaurant Dunedin 鮮味仙面館 takes a classic fish-and-chips path and lets the food speak. Curries carry clear spice and warmth. Value feels fair for the spread. Sweet‑and‑sour stays balanced and crisp.

“I had the pleasure of staying at the Chalet Backpackers for some months a few years ago. My stay left such an impression that I felt compelled to write this review. Met loads of awesome people and wow what an interesting and beautiful building! The owner Richard and administrator Chris were not only friendly and but also great to chat with. I felt thoroughly comfortable and entertained throughout my stay. All in all I couldn't recommend Chalet Backpackers more highly and on my next trip to Dunedin I'll surely spend some more time there :)”

“Stayed in a studio cabin. Good and clean. Good kitchen (no oven though if you needed one of those). Comfortable. Plenty of parking space. Suspect may be cold in winter with only one electric heater. Good walks nearby. Friendly staff.”

“If you are wanting a weekend away with a bit of history then this place is perfect! Walking distance to anywhere in mosgiel very convenient.”
