Everything was clean and tidy and we found it a very comfortable place to stay while at Dunedin.
Location is great as it’s close to major shopping stores.
Found the owners very friendly and had plenty of knowledge of the area and some helpful tips on places to see and areas to eat.
Definitely stay at the Beach Lodge Motel again.
Cheers for everything

this place was nice but very old buildings. good for one night stay but one bedroom unit not as big. the staff were very nice and friendly. it was clean. shower was old but not bad.
The room was spotless. Absolutely amazingly comfortable bed to sleep on after competing in the NZ Masters games.
A lovely gesture on arrival...a plate with caramel square. Quiet spot. Parking in front.
Very friendly hosts. Definitely stay again.

We had a kitchen and dining room - which was well stocked. Bed was okay. Lacked plug ins in bedrooms. Staff was very friendly.
Room was spotless. Warm. Staff were great, good kitchen
Quiet. Great location. Has been tastefully updated except toilet and bathroom. I will go back. Great value for money.
I know its a corny expression, calling a place a home away from home but I could easily move into the apartment I stayed in, it was that warm, tidy and inviting. Well maintained retro kiwi beach charm and modern where it needs to be. Premium linen, incredible shower. Every unit appears to have a new split system air conditioner. I had a gorgeous private courtyard with trees and shrubs. Insane value for the location!

Beds were very hard. Layout not very functional. Staff were lovely
Old-skool motel. Like a 50s TV drama, but that was a massive joy. Roomy and bright. Spotless and friendly. And the beach just across the way to add to the relaxation. If you want pampering look elsewhere. If you want to be chilled you won’t go wrong here.
Room clean and spacious. Beds were comfy. Fresh flowers and yummy biscuits for a supper were a nice touch.

Very welcoming on arrival. We picked this place for its full kitchen however the stovetop was not working properly and there was no gas bottle in the outdoor bbq when we tried to adapt. The oven worked at least. Good location near the beach. Space is tight with four people and luggage.
