Located in Dunedin, near Otago Museum, Taieri Gorge Railway and Forsyth Barr Stadium, Sahara Guest House has a shared lounge. This guest house provides free private parking, private check-in and check-out and free WiFi. The guest house features family rooms. This place was terrific. Really comfortable stay, great location, no hassle whatsoever, and I really appreciated when the host helped me carry my guitar up the stairs! Highly recommended.

Each unit has a balcony offering mountain views, a flat-screen TV, a dining area, a well-fitted kitchenette and a private bathroom with shower, a hair dryer and free toiletries. A toaster, a fridge and kitchenware are also offered, as well as a kettle. At the guest house, units include bed linen and towels. A very comfortable, well presented unit, in a great location but in a quiet spot, with great mountain views. Far better than an overpriced hotel. We were impressed and enjoyed our two night stay.
