A very easy walk into the centre city and safe to walk at night too. Despite being on a main thoroughfare, there was no audible road noise. This is probably the cleanest accommodation I've ever stayed at. Ive stayed before and will continue to come back, hopefully in a couple of months when all the azaleas and rhododendrons are flowering in the central courtyard.

Well located. Easy walk to central Dunedin. Rooms look out to a courtyard with lovely trees and plants. Nice room with a well stocked kitchen. Parking was very limited and getting luggage to our room was challenging— longish walk to the elevator (outside) but the room was worth it and I would recommend staying here.

This was a great place to stay, very clean, quiet, two great breakfast places very close by and 15/20 minute walk into the centre of town.

It's also walking distance to the Botanical gardens.

I was a solo traveller and felt very safe. I was also outside of the university term which may have helped it to be very quiet. For those visiting the university it's virtually on your doorstep.

We had a wonderful stay, from check in to check out. The young lady on reception showed is to our room. Opened the door and went through the amenities. The ground floor room looked out over a lovely garden in the central courtyard, and there were chairs to sit in the garden of you chose to. The room was spacious with modern facilities and a super comfy bed. Location is excellent with lovely cafes and restaurants nearby. It was a 15 min stroll into central Dunedin and a similar distance to Emerson's Brewery, though you might want some extra time to stumble home😊. We very much enjoyed our stay at Aurora and do not hesitate in recommending it.

The outstanding feature of the Aurora was the leafy central courtyard. At most motels, you look out onto a carpark but the courtyard was such a peaceful place for a morning coffee. The Aurora itself was comfortable, clean and staff were pleasant and keen to help when asked. The adjacent Thai restaurant near the front door and the Oaken Cafe at the rear were handy for dinner and breakfast.

Aurora on George was brilliant.  Lots of little bits in the kitchen (coffee press, washing up liquid) that just make things easy.  They even had an umbrella to borrow.

Bed was comfy, heater/temperature control worked great. Did make use of the laundry service, was impressed by the quality of the job relative to then price.

I needed to travel to a medical appointment in Dunedin. It was decided that staying overnight in Dunedin was a good idea.
We stayed in one of the ground floor accessible studios. I was able to have an early check in which was fab
The room was stunningly clean! As an ex motel cleaner i can almost certainly find something thats not up to scratch.... not the case this time!!
Your staff did a fabulous job.
The large (King?) bed was really comfortable and had great linens including a comfortable pillow.
The accessible shower was the cherry on top. After a long day it was great to be able to have a nice hot shower and then relax into bed. We had a lovely sleep and left early the next morning as happy campers.
I will definitely be staying here again. This motel was safe, clean, cosy and well appointed.
The staff we met at check in were cheerful and helpful.
My only gripe was i forgot to visit Tax the resident dog ☺️

We had to book a room at the last minute due to personal emergency. It was graduation week and our usual place was booked out. They recommended coming here. This motel was Great value for money. We managed to snag the last room for $209.00.
Staff couldn’t be more friendly, helpful, welcoming! The guy behind the desk was awesome!!
Room was a bit smaller than what we normally get (booked studio) but that’s really being picky. Couldn’t fault otherwise- really clean, everything so functional, bed really comfortable, great shower & bathroom and great environmental approach. Even had a small composting container for scraps, free wifi, sky on tv.
Room overlooked courtyard- really pretty well kept garden. Free parking. Location great. We walked everywhere- city and hospital 13 minute walk. Couldn’t fault.

So much potential but second time staying and could not stop sneezing at the dust, different room, same problem, rooms need a deep clean, air con unit sounded like a jet plane taking off, same with the bathroom fan, had to turn off aircon to stop sneezing from the dust unless it was pulling in some kind of pollen from outside? Nice staff, comfortable bed. Small TV for size of room.

1 ply toilet paper - would expect it to be 2-3 ply given the price of room. Otherwise great experience.

By far the best place I have stayed in, clean, well thought out, every detail considered, the little things that are always overlooked were provided. Umbrellas, a torch, welcome pack, we were thrilled with Aurora on George!

Excellent motel! Comfy bed, warm and modern. Nothing was a hassle! I had to extend my stay last minute as my husband had surgery and ended up needing to stay in hospital longer and they were very accommodating and helpful! 5 minute drive to mercy hospital which was great so not too far away from where my husband was. Would definitely stay here again. The only thing i didnt like was the people staying in the room above me stomping around like elephants throughout the night woke me with a fright several times but this isnt anything on the Excellent motel or staff

Checking in was smooth and welcoming. In the room there was welcome biscuits and a letter addressed to my name, outlining some important informations regarding the stay which was very kind and sweet. The cleanliness of the room was a top notch especially the bathroom which was sparkly and spotless. Conveniently located, short walks to the town/uni/botanical garden. Overall very happy with the stay and would love to return for our next trip to Dunedin.

Fabulous accommodation

Beautifully clean accomodation with a lovely garden. We really appreciated all the sustainable options which included recycling and even a food waste bin for the worm farm which I wish every accomodation had available.
Thank you for a lovely stay.
