Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The Beach Lodge is a quiet, tidy and spacious motel with everything you need and in a great location with so much to do close by. But the thing that makes this place great is the couple that run the place, they give recommendations when you arrive, they’re accommodating and they’re funny. We loved our stay here and highly recommend.
Great bed very comfortable. The room was old world but had everything one needed. Kitchen - stove oven etc. situation was central to beach and not too far from city.
The motel was very clean, tidy and comfortable. Dated, but kept up to standard with paint etc. The heatpump worked well.
There was no electric blanket on the bed which is a necessity in a cold place like Dunedin. We found one on the single bed but it didnt work.
Very handy location, with a very comfortable bed. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were immaculately clean!
A terrific apartment with everything we could need a short drive from Dunedin attractions and a walk to St Kilda beach. We immediately had a good feeling when entering this property and check in and out was friendly and efficient. Being able to use laundry facilities for $5 and have a full oven, microwave, rice cooker, toaster kettle and multitude of cooking implements as well as plenty of space to chill out was amazing for our three night stay. Would definitely recommend as an affordable and convenient stay near the beach.
Close to ice skating
A bit cold
Everything is good the host is friendly and very helpfull, budget friendly, good location and very relaxing.

Room was very well looked after, very comfortable beds. Great service from owners as well.
Nothing.
Handy to the ice rink
The owner kept coming in and turning the heat pump off and it was winter
Beach Lodge Motels is really amazing place to stay. I love the spacious room, it's really comfortable and convenient. Also the well stocked and clean kitchenette. Staff are friendly as well.We really had a wonderful stay at this Motel.
Lovely quiet area, plenty of room to stretch
Location
The shower was terrible as in no pressure whatsoever. It dribbled, you didn’t get wet and you couldn’t because there wasn’t enough water coming out to get the shampoo/conditioner out. Everything else was fine the rooms were clean and tidy, staff were lovely, we just wish we were told about the shower so we could have made a decision based on that and would have been prepared
Great Location to Ice Rink and Camping Ground
We arrived and our room was so cold. We turned on the heat pump and went out for an hour or two so it would warm up. When we came back our heat pump had been turned off. Room was cold. This was a regular occurrence throughout our stay for the week. My elderly parents were staying in another unit and their heat pump was being turned off also. My dad is going to be 80 this month. Was very disappointing. If they were worried about their power bill in winter I would rather be warm and pay extra. Units were extremely cold and there is no heating in the bathroom. Shower pressure is terrible starts off hot then water turns warm. It was as through there was a restriction on hot water. Would possibly stay here again in the summer but definitely not the winter months.
Simple, clean.
No electricity socket near the main bed.
Friendly owners great location.
Friendly staff,comfy rooms, quiet and great location away from the main town . A short drive to Anderson's bay where you are spoiled for choice on eateries. Would definitely stay again as it was value for money .thank you
There ws no breakdast
The bathroom could use an upgrade, shower was dreadful in our room, used my daughters in other unit which was great.
super friendly staff. easy to get to and off street parking right in front of the units! a HUGE plus for Dunedin
Some would find it dated in style and amenities. It was ok for us but I've been in NZ a long time now so dated has a kinda nostalgic and vintage feel.
Nice quiet and clean. Very close to the places where the events were held.
Older style motel but very clean and well presented. Fantastic hosts.

no parking outside untit over night, then asked to move onto road at 8 in the morning, abit rude
Very friendly service and they give you good recommendations for nearby places to eat. Easy check in and check-out.
Amazing value, warm, comfy, clean. Very lovely hosts. Beautiful area, walking distance to the beach
The only thing that was a slight let down was the water pressure in the shower. But that wouldn’t stop me staying here again. A great place!
Lovely clean units and staff. Very handy to all amenities.
Clean, warm rooms. The studio we booked was much larger than I expected. Full kitchen, including oven, made our stay easy. Heat pump kept the whole place cozy. Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Warmth. Comfort. Spaciousness
TV had very limited channels. Only one mirror in bathroom. Power point in bathroom was for shaver and not for hairdryer.
房间很大,设施齐全,位置不错
太香了,熏了一晚挺难受的,不喜欢那香味
The location was great. Not far from the beach. As I like to take local transport the bus stop opposite was an added bonus. The unit was more than adequate. pretty much full kitchen so i was able to cook my own meals. Shower was very good strong pressure. The host and other staff were polite and very friendly. Helpful information about local restaurants and cafes. Laundry facilities were available so easy to wash and dry my clothes. I would definitely stay again.
nothing
The rooms are very spacious Great facilities Have stay here alot
Everything is great
The location was excellent for us as we were at a curling tournament nearby
Location is great. very close to the beach. The bed was comfortable. loved the feel of the sheets. staff was friendly. There were scooters nearby to get to St. Clair.
The place is a bit beat up. There are lots of stains on the carpet and chips of paint off the wall. The heater failed on the second night so it was really cold. There is not a lot of water pressure in the shower.
All was very good
Friendly welcome from host who took the time to walk us to and show us our unit. Comfortable beds, hot shower with good pressure and all necessary amenities provided. Free allocated parking for one vehicle directly outside unit. Quiet unit at rear of property.
Nothing of note
The units were very unique & quirky.
The beds are very hard. The tv didn't work at all.
Location, spacious, clean, value for money
Tight parking,
Friendly staff and comfortable beds. Very clean. Convenient location.
地理位置好,房东热情。
我们4人入住这里,晚上两人洗澡后8点左右就没有热水,到前台找没人,打电话没人接,短信息不回复。 半个小时后员工来到房间,说新装了热水系统是足够4人洗澡的,现在没有热水是要等1-1.5小时。我们等了两个小时都没有热水,直接睡觉要第二天早上起来洗澡。 床单烟味很重。 离开后,我在平台直接留言不满意要赔款,商家说什么看到我们用水,房间玻璃有水雾等等…… 就是该商家很不负责任,很没有礼貌,不建议这家旅馆。

Older property so more spacious than some more recent builds. Excellent heat system and very comfortable and warm beds. Free off street parking. Short drive to good restaurants overlooking St Kilda Beach.
Bathroom could do with updating.
Staff are great
Bathroom and kitchen old and barely passable. We chose not to cook and grabbed fish and chips across the road which was excellent. Pillows were rock hard awful - ended up using a cushion as a pillow.
Spacious
Just needs updating
Warm, clean, spacious unit, comfortable. Lovely friendly welcome & farewell

The stay was generally great, but we experienced an issue with the water temperature while showering, as it suddenly turned freezing cold halfway through, which made us uncomfortable and unwell, forcing us to cancel our day trip in Dunedin and rest instead. We appreciate that the female host came to explain that only 160 liters of hot water is available and that it takes about 1–2 hours to reheat; however, we were unsure about this explanation since there were only three of us and each person’s shower time was around 10 minutes. While we understand this may be common in New Zealand, we suggest placing a clear reminder on the wall for overseas guests, as we did not encounter this issue in other stays. Additionally, the male host could improve his customer service, as interrupting the explanation and raising his voice made the situation feel unnecessarily escalated rather than resolved.
Lovely motel in good location. Anouk and Jared were super friendly and provided valuable tipps.
Cleanliness and comfort top notch
Parking was difficult
The location
The fridge froze up The parking Couldn’t park outside room
Great location if you’re interested in touring the Otago peninsula. Our unit was very spacious and clean. Liked being able to cook our own meals having a laundry available was great. Kitchen had everything needed for light cooking. The owners are very friendly and happy to help with any needs. Fast and easy check in.
The location is old and a little tired, but it is spotlessly clean and a great value
All good, clean & tidy
Was a nice motel, bathroom very small. Could do with being updated.
