The guest house was beautiful right out of a picture! The breakfast was great with various options to choose from. The room was comfy and warm, just the way I like a room to be when traveling.I walked everywhere I wanted to be because I was living in the middle of everything, George street is amazing! I would definitely visit again and recommend Sahara Guest house to whomever is traveling to Dunedin.

The building is old and beautiful. It's kept clean and well maintained. The room is clean and nice. Views are amazing. The staff is friendly and professional. We had to leave early on our first morning there to catch the train (before the hotel breakfast time). But they cooked breakfast for us earlier. It was so nice of them.

For me, this apartment is one of the 5 best I have ever stayed in. It beats any hotel I've seen in Cannes, Dubai, London or Barcelona. And for three reasons: 1. the architect really had an eye for technical details. Dimmable LED lights, glare-free staircase lighting, night lights in the bathrooms that switch on automatically and fly screens in front of the windows. Hallelujah! That should become ISO standard. I've stayed in brand new hotel rooms where there wasn't even a power socket next to the bed! 2. the great storytelling about the room (we were in the Gaynor Clayton Apartment). The artist was a former tenant, the brushes and her paint box. Her daily routine and her red hat hanging in the dressing room. How cool! 3. the attention and respect for us as guests. When we entered the room, soft relaxing music was playing (we loved it so much that it was on for a couple of hours), the rooms were aired. Fresh eggs, jam and honey in the fridge and toast. Not much, but great value for us travellers!

Very modern, spacious rooms, friendly staff, comfortable beds, feels high end. Even a regular room is as big as suites in many other hotels and it’s not crammed full with accessories you don’t need but take up space like desks etc.
