Sahara Motels

The service was excellent. As we were new to Dunedin, we were there to settle my daughter into Otago Uni. Our flight was delayed, which meant we wouldn't make the late check-in cut off time after 9pm. We contacted Sahara Motel to advise we would be late in and that we wouldn't know how we can get from airport to our destination during those late hours. Staff were awesome, understanding and informative on where, how, whom we can contact in terms of transportation from airport. Sahara motels have the friendliest staff, from reception to caretakers. Room was so comfortable and warm with a home away from home cosy feel. Loved the hot showers very clean with towels changed and rubbish cleared daily. Beds clean and comfortable that I literally didn't want to get out the following day. Kitchen facilities very clean. Sahara motels represented Dunedin and its communities, superbly. Only a 4-minute walk to Otago Uni, shops and town within close proximity. Sahara Motels has literally got me planning my next travel, cause that's how much of an influence they were on my visit to Dunedin. They gave me the feeling of wanting to visit again and again. Thank you, Sahara Motels. Keep up the excellent service. You have done North Dunedin proud. Proud to be a kiwi because of services like yours.

Even though I hadn't used it. The air conditioner would probably need instructions on how to use it. Perhaps it was there, and I hadn't seen it.

Mel was so helpful. We were also able to add a bed cause suddenly my daughter wanted to stay with us instead of her own room. We were not used to the cold weather, and the blankets, and heaters were warm enough. I was able to prepare simple meals for my family too. The bed was very comfortable too. I would definitely suggest to friends this place.

Not the place, but the unexpected cold strong winds... Better not go during winter 🥶,🤭

Always enjoy our stay in Sahara. Absolutely no complaints. From the staff to the well maintained clean facilities. Who can complain. Thank you Sahara for always making my stay enjoyable and safe. Everything is withing walking distance.

The painting hanging on the wall gives me anxiety panics. So I always take it off the wall cause it's right above the headboard and it I know it's funny to some. But it truly scares me.

First time staying here as motel we normally stay at was booked out. We got to Dunedin earlier than check in. They allowed us to leave our bags with them while we walked about town as car was getting work done on it. Even allowed us an early check in. All the staff we met were amazing. The room was clean & comfortable. Quick and easy walk to town. Breakfast was delicious. Can say it is now in our top 3 motels in Dunedin. Room 20

Was really nothing to dislike.

The location and the staff that had helped us during a crisis 4 years ago

The car parking area needs to be numbered maybe ? We had a spot in front of our room which was great but the neighbour decided to take ours instead of using the one in front of his room and as it was raining we got wet taking our thing’s out to the front entrance of the motel .

Location. Friendliness of staff Bed soft, electric blanket plus heat pump as it was freezing when we landed. Was what we needed

Not sure if renovations were happening above, but banging noise could be heard above late at night/early morning. Woke twice. The carpet needed a quick clean, as it wasnt vacuumed since we were there.

Our room was spacious, bed was comfortable, location is near the city and close to restaurants and supermarket, and the facilities though basic was considered okay since it was a budget room.

The shower pressure was on the low side and the toilet- shower area was small and narrow.

The motel unit was very well equipped, with a great kitchenette, powerful shower and comfy beds. The staff here were wonderful, and the breakfast they put on was great (wide range of fresh fruits).

Only a small thing but the WiFi was a bit temperamental.

Absolutely superb. Cannot reccomend enough.

I felt a bit pressured to have housekeeping do their turn downs, but I am anxious and also didn’t let them know the towels were already more than plenty for the duration of my stay. If anything they were too efficient and too kind :P

The room was spotlessly clean, bed was comfortable, great efficient heating and quiet, position was handy to everything we wanted to do. Very good value for money.

The only negative we could find was the shower curtain was a bit short so water dripped out onto the floor
