The Victoria Hotel Dunedin
Comfortable stay for one night. Beds were good. We can’t comment on the food as we didn’t eat there. Staff were friendly. Central location. Short flat walk to two large supermarkets and the historic railway station. Parking was easy on site, although the hotel charges NZ $20 per night.
