The flat was really well equipped and quiet. We had 2 bedrooms with a big living and kitchen area. We didn’t miss anything. The motel is in comfortably walking distance to the city centre. The host was really nice and had good tips for us to enjoy our short stay.

Great staff, the room is old-fashioned but it goes with the castle's atmosphere. Otherwise, the room was clean and very comfortable and the view on the peninsula is just amazing!

We needed a place for two weeks that was close to Otago University. Sahara studios was perfect. Clean, comfortable, homely, cooking facilities, close to the main town and the university and Julie and Mike and Mel were super nice. We have found our regular spot to stay in Dunedin. Thanks Julie, Mike and team.

Lovely place, very comfortable and clean, full of books and handwritten advice about where to go and what to eat while in Dunedin. Never interacted with the host in person, but friendly interactions via message. It felt cozy, homey, and still private. I would absolutely stay here again.

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!
