Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Robyn was kindness itself, she stayed on the phone, talking us in through the road works, which made the entrance to.the motel quite a challenge. Robin also gave us some useful ideas for places of interest to visit, and provided us with maps. The location of Alexis Motor Lodge is perfect for Dunedin..many places of interest are walkable from there, including the Botanical Gardens, which are well worth a visit.
