"The staff at this hotel were super friendly and helpful. The hotel itself was clean and well presented and rooms were spacious and well laid out.

It was a particularly busy weekend in Dunedin and we did have a couple of issues finding parking when we returned to the hotel in the evening but overall it was a great stay"

Top Blackhead Hotel Reviews

Myhub Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"Great looking renovation. Comfortable and new. No one available in the office for check in or departure, but seemed to work just fine. Parking was a challenge. Tight bays, with interesting markings. The facilities were not yet open, but the plan looks good."
