About Highland House Boutique Hotel

Madison
Wonderful stay at The Highland House Boutique. Easy access, spacious room and wonderful staff. Perfect for a weekend getaway.
Nicholas
Overall our stay was okay, but certainly a little underwhelming to what we were expecting.
It was a lovely period property which you expect to find in Dunedin, but sadly not being utilised to its full potential. Unsure what the term ‘boutique’ technically represents, but if it’s upscale/premium; then this isn’t what we got.
Really great sized rooms and bathroom, but overall lacking some routine maintenance and looking/feeling pretty tired. Although the main areas were clean, edgings, skirtings and behind/under furniture had not been cleaned in some time. Heaters were supplied, but again could use an update or a little maintenance.
A great amenity was heated blankets, but only one of them was useable as there was a lack of power outputs around the bed. It appeared the solution for this was an extension cord into another extension, but I was not comfortable with this set up due to safety concerns i.e fire risk.
On site parking was really useful, and right outside our room ‘motel’ style. Kitchenette area was super convenient. Staff were generally welcoming but again, more of a motel feel.
Would be reluctant to stay again or recommend, but served its purpose as a one night stop over.

Cassanndra
Lovely room, warm and clean. Would definitely stay again.
Debashish
Nice cozy place. Only thing I’d comment about would be the bathroom. It was a bit dated and cold, with the heater not working. The main rooms were nice and warm and spacious
Christopher
Suggest you check the amenities are working properly. In our case the electric blanket didn't work nor did the fan heater in the bathroom.
Jen
The room was excellent! The scenery and heritage associated with Dunedin invites further visits.
John
Comfortable bed, good pressure for shower, cold bathroom floor and heater in the room required frequent attention ( auto off ) meant room was cold in the early morning
Chris
Yes
Sandy and Cameron
Great location, easy walk to city centre, botanic gardens and university. Large rooms, good kitchen facilities for breakfast and heating meals up, big bathroom. It is an older building, so some things are not perfect but it is clean, comfortable and warm. We will definitely stay again.
Vicki
Liked the historical feel to the place, central location. However parking difficult. Garden needs to be trimmed back.
Mamata
Breakfast in the room was excellent. Beds and pillows were very comfortable.
Walking distance to the Botanical gardens.

Jennifer
The staff was very friendly and accommodating when we arrived early, and helped us fit into the small reserved parking lot! The room was very spacious in this older building and the many windows allowed for plenty of light and air. The small kitchenette was appreciated! You need to arrange for breakfast ahead of time, which we didn't do, but there are a number of walkable cafe options. Loved the location near the Botanical Garden!
Claire
Thought it was nice, a little street noise as it is at the student end of town. Value for for money, nice old building with of street parking. Service was great, very willing to help and offer help.
Roger
Very nice room, the property is centrally located. Welcoming & informative staff. would recommend.
Elaine
Nice to be able to park off the street.
elsie
Parking adequate
William
Parking was a bit tight, because we came in a full size truck. Check in was great. A friendly lady who showed us our room. We loved our room and didn’t expect another room with two beds! And, the cost was very reasonable. We'd definitely stay there again.
Tom
Parking was primitive and difficult with too few carparks. Bed mattress was like a slab of concrete. Stairs to upper rooms steep very difficult to manage heavy luggage. Would not go back. No staff on duty when we arrived before the office was due to close.
Paul
Parking is extremely tight. Not sure if there enough spots for all rooms
Joan
Fabulous room
kevin
All great
Kasia
Room was a good size, however cleanliness was not quite up to expectations. Very dirty windows and thick dust at places. Couple lightbulbs blown in the bathroom, bathroom handle not locking and bathroom heater not heating. We had one tiny piece of soap to share between three people over two nights. The whole place is fraying arround edges and could do with a bit of paint and repairs to bring it back to its former glory.
Laurie
Nice big room and very nice front desk lady, bed was comfy, had everything we needed
Elizabeth
Clean spacious room. Plentiful breakfast.
Res
Staffs are great, room was clean and comfortable. We had a great stay overall.
Michelle
The room was very clean and the staff very helpful.
Kai
Overall the room and hotel is good. But small things can really make my rating improved to 5 stars. For example,
1. the curtains... Hooks are off and parts of the curtains were falling. This caused the curtains not closed completely.
2. Shower head holder cannot hold the shower head. The owner replaced the shower head... But it's NOT the right type... So I have to use one hand to hold it to shower.
If these 2 were sorted, my rating can be a 5 stars.

Michele
Central to town and eating establishments...big room...comfie bed...lovely bath shower and kitchen facilities...off street parking..noisy area at night
But good value for money...only downside was poor checkin..waiting for 40 min for someone to turn up to let guests in

I think the photos seemed like it would be more of an upscale experience... but once we settled in it was fine and close to many options for activities.
ivan
The bed was comfortable. The area seemed a bit sketchy. Giant spider web full of bugs in bathroom.

Very helpful in providing additional services
Louise
Great property with friendly staff. Laundry facilities which was helpful and tasteful decor. Clean except for pink mould on lower tiles of shower- this was the only negative
Jill
A heritage hotel
I loved this little hotel. Its like stepping back
a century! It's beautifully restored and cared for, with a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower over the bath. A staff member was happy to help when I asked for someone to carry my bag down the steep staircase.

Great room , great stay.
Judy
We enjoyed a lovely stay here. Walking in the nearby park was so nice listening to the birdcall and enjoying the bush. We did have to drive to get a meal - no restaurants nearby.
Nancy
This would be great in warm weather, but it was cold and the heater was inadequate. It never got the room fully warm and to keep it modestly warm you had to push a button just about once an hour when it cut itself off. But it was just too cold overall. Beautiful room. Wonderful staff.
John
Unable too adequately heat the room

Extremely satisfied with our stay at Highland House.
The guy meeting us was very friendly and helpful, the condition of the property is really nice, so many small touches here and there that show how much attention to details there was.
Highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Dunedin.

Amazing Place
This is an amazing hotel. It has been updated but they have maintained the charm/features of the original facility. It is just a 10 minute walk to the botanical garden and a 20 min walk to downtown where everything is located. Andrew was so helpful in giving directions and making recommendations. Have an onsite laundry was wonderful. Room was spotless and very comfortable. Highly recommend
Tony
Friendly staff, good parking, little bit of road noise and could hear guests in the suite upstairs but not enough to be disturbing.
Stephanie
Lovely little hotel but terrible parking. We had a 2 bedroom room but the second bedroom just fits a single bed and thats it. It was ok for our needs but not if your 2nd guest needs space. Staff were lovely and helpful. Only problem was the parking, so be prepared to park on the street.
Carolyn
Highland House is an interesting boutique hotel with an old world atmosphere. Management is efficient and cooperative.
Linda
Very comfortable bed, clean rooms and friendly helpful staff. Reasonable rates. Would definitely book again.

Clean and comfortable room
It’s nice to have laundry facilities here and the room is spacious and clean. The host is very nice. We had a comfortable stay here. Thank you!
Andrea
It’s always wonderful to walk into your room and be pleasantly surprised, clean, welcoming and charming. Rear parking a tad tight and we hope the German Shepherd gets out for regular walks…
Lisa Kate
Fantastic stay. Great location, Arnold was a delight to deal with and very welcoming. Lovely big room with excellent bathroom & kitchenette. Would recommend without hesitation and would stay again when in Dunefin.
Tarja
Lovely unit, very clean and well appointed. Friendly and helpful staff.
Shane
We stayed with 2 kids, didn't realise from pics that the other room only had a single bed, so the 2nd kid stayed in the main area with us (in a separate single). Thats the Deluxe Family Suite. Overall it was fine, all tidy, everything worked, great base for us to explore Dunedin. Comfortable beds, plenty of heaters, walk to the Botanic Gardens and Uni. Would stay again.
Craig
Comfortable Stay on George St
We stayed 2 nights in Highland House in September. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The continental breakfast provided was basic. Though right on George St, road noise was not an issue, and it was a comfortable walk into the city.
Morag
It was easy to get to Mercy hospital. Parking was a bit tight.
Robyn
Very comfortable in our studio (3 persons, with a separate bedroom for one person). Excellent service when requested. I liked the historic ambience. Was in an area that suited - near Botanic garden & New World Gardens supermarket.
