Had a heater for cool nights, separate laundry facilities that were just down the steps. Place could use some updating, but for our stay it was the right price and just fine for us

Older motel but very clean. Comfortable chairs with footrests that you don't find in modern motels. Roomy unit with separate bedroom. Very helpful owner. Parking was under the unit or on the road. We chose the road, the car was safe, and it meant we could park right outside our unit. Close to the motorway for a quick trip to the airport.

Best stay ever!

We stayed there for a total of 2 nights and 2 days! It was the absolute best!! Excellent, friendly and welcoming customer service. Great location, it’s close to the city and close to all the shops, attractions, etc. the place is super tidy, it is not a modern design but it is very homely and spotless! Plenty of parking, you can park privately on the residence or road side. Comfortable furniture, they have plenty of heating options that allow you to stay warm and cosy especially with the harsh coldness of Dunedin! Amazing price, it is an absolute steal! So lucky I spotted it whilst surfing the web for accommodations. Thank you once again Carisbrook Motel, we will definitely check in with you again, next time we are in Dunedin!

reasonable budget motel in Dunedin

Carisbrook Motel is a fairly priced mid range motel in Dunedin, providing all the basic needs in an adequate manner. Good location, though a bit of a hassle re car parking if you are in an upper level, but this is a minor quibble.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean but showing considerable signs of wear and tear.
Noise is the biggest problem here. There is lots of road noise and the houses across the road have a rail line behind them. Some of the trains sounded like they were going to crash through the wall any moment.
Also some of these houses have very noisy students in them which meant loud yelling and music till around 4am.
