"Good hostel. Reasonable price and well equipped facilities. I would stay here if I come Oamaru again. One bad thing. There is no front desk. So guests always have to be aware of PIN that lets you get inside (even their room). So I had to bring my mobile even when I went to the toilet. If I had forgotten my room PIN, I couldn't open the door of my room."

"The location was nice, with it being only an 8 minutes walk into town centre. The kitchen was clean enough for us and so are the bathrooms. However, the wifi was not so great. We had to use our own mobile data, but if you're fine with that then it's a good place for a short stay, which was the case for us considering if you're planning to be out travelling for most of the day anyways. The staffs were all also very lovely and helpful."

"Title (English): Reasonable Value for a Private Room, but Mixed Experience with Shared Bathroom Management ⸻ English Review (3 Stars) ★★★ I stayed in a private single room during my visit. Pros: * The private room was relatively quiet and provided good personal space. * Basic supplies such as toilet paper were consistently available. * The price offers reasonable value compared with similar accommodation options in Dunedin. Cons: * There appeared to be some inconsistency in communication regarding the use and cleaning expectations of shared bathroom facilities. * Different shower areas seemed to be managed differently, which could be confusing for guests. * In some situations, the expectations for post-shower cleaning were not communicated very clearly. More consistent guidance would be helpful. Overall, the stay had both positive aspects and areas for improvement. It can still be a reasonable option for budget-conscious travelers looking for a private room, but clearer communication and more consistent management of shared facilities would improve the guest experience.

With a stay at Manor on the Park Backpackers in Dunedin (Dunedin City Centre), you'll be within a 15-minute walk of Grand Casino and Speight's Brewery. This hostel is 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from Dunedin Chinese Garden and 0.7 mi (1.1 km) from The Octagon.

Featured amenities include luggage storage, laundry facilities, and microwave in a common area. Make yourself at home in one of the 9 guestrooms. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected. Shared bathrooms are provided.

"Street parking is free before 9 am, and nighttime parking is very convenient. There's a large slope, so dragging your suitcase up was a bit of a struggle. There are restrooms both upstairs and downstairs, which is great. The showers are on the first floor, unisex. The laundry room is from 9 am to 4 pm, which is a bit inconvenient; we checked in late, so I couldn't do laundry, and there's a charge. The facilities are generally quite complete. By the way, you need to bring your own slippers, shower gel, and shampoo. New Zealand doesn't provide toothbrushes, toothpaste, or slippers, so remember to bring your own. You need to remove the leaflets and bed linens yourself when you leave and throw them in the laundry room on the first floor. The overall environment and facilities are very friendly, and I would recommend it."

The staff members at Aria on Bank Dunedin are super friendly. I accidentally arrived too early for check-in; however, the female manager kindly prepared a room for me and checked me in early. That was amazing! When I left, the male manager was also very friendly and looked after my suitcase for a couple of hours. I will definitely stay at this motel again if I return to Dunedin.

We checked in the hotel very late that day. The hotel had already arranged accommodation and posted a notice at the door. The accommodation environment is relatively old, the toilet smells a little strange, and there is no exhaust fan, but overall space is large, able to open two large suitcases. The location is convenient, there is a supermarket nearby.

A first class motel with genuine owners who do their best to present their motel in excellent condition. My room was larger than most Motels and is very well appointed with everything I needed to prepare dinner, including full and fresh salt and pepper shakers.  The room was spotless giving the feeling that the motel is new, which it is not. Such is the high standard of cleaning and continuing maintenance. The heating worked well and the bed has two separate electric blankets.  The bathroom was also spotless, with good quality soap etc.  The TV is a full 55 inch and in addition to normal TV they provide free Netflix and other services. WiFi works well.  The motel is peaceful and quiet. It’s also near the Otago University which is well worth a visit and is only a short walk away. It’s also only a short walk to the centre of town where there are many shops cafes and restaurants. The city includes the scenic railway station and various historic buildings and churches.  Overall a first class motel, and one of the best motels I have experienced. Thank you.

During the National Day holiday, all other accommodations were ridiculously expensive, so I figured I'd rough it out for three days and stay at a hostel (Haka). The kitchen at Haka is fantastic—you can cook whatever you want, which is super convenient. The room was clean and tidy, making it a pretty good experience overall. Also, the donuts right outside the entrance are delicious!
