This was a return visit.

Location of the Sahara was easy to get to. It was perfect for accessing the Conference we attended. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Very good parking and access.

The bathroom basin was a little small for my husband.

Not bad for a night!

Lovely friendly owner with a beautiful dog! The room was clean and warm....A bit compact.

The kitchenware in the motel is a little old and out of date. WiFi did not work well Shower horrible…Low water pressure. It seems that you are having a shower in the Middle East or the Sahara Desert....Not enough water! They named their motel appropriately!! …. no shampoo, or conditioner provided, only soap and towels, no hairdryer and it was mid-winter when I was there.

Excellent room, excellent friendly service. Highly Recommended.

The room was perfect for what I needed. Clean and comfortable. Bed was great. Heat pump was on for me already and room was warm. Julie on reception was amazing. Let me leave my car in their carpark while I was at the hospital the next day. Amazing service.

Great stay, comfy & warm rooms, laundry rooms. Everything we needed for the weekend.

Location. Friendliness of staff Bed soft, electric blanket plus heat pump as it was freezing when we landed. Was what we needed

Not sure if renovations were happening above, but banging noise could be heard above late at night/early morning. Woke twice. The carpet needed a quick clean, as it wasnt vacuumed since we were there.

Is now in top 3 of our Dunedin motel list.

First time staying here as motel we normally stay at was booked out. We got to Dunedin earlier than check in. They allowed us to leave our bags with them while we walked about town as car was getting work done on it. Even allowed us an early check in. All the staff we met were amazing. The room was clean & comfortable. Quick and easy walk to town. Breakfast was delicious. Can say it is now in our top 3 motels in Dunedin. Room 20

Was really nothing to dislike.

Loved it. Will stay again if any availability during time I travel.

The service was excellent. As we were new to Dunedin, we were there to settle my daughter into Otago Uni. Our flight was delayed, which meant we wouldn't make the late check-in cut off time after 9pm. We contacted Sahara Motel to advise we would be late in and that we wouldn't know how we can get from airport to our destination during those late hours. Staff were awesome, understanding and informative on where, how, whom we can contact in terms of transportation from airport. Sahara motels have the friendliest staff, from reception to caretakers. Room was so comfortable and warm with a home away from home cosy feel. Loved the hot showers very clean with towels changed and rubbish cleared daily. Beds clean and comfortable that I literally didn't want to get out the following day. Kitchen facilities very clean. Sahara motels represented Dunedin and its communities, superbly. Only a 4-minute walk to Otago Uni, shops and town within close proximity. Sahara Motels has literally got me planning my next travel, cause that's how much of an influence they were on my visit to Dunedin. They gave me the feeling of wanting to visit again and again. Thank you, Sahara Motels. Keep up the excellent service. You have done North Dunedin proud. Proud to be a kiwi because of services like yours.

Even though I hadn't used it. The air conditioner would probably need instructions on how to use it. Perhaps it was there, and I hadn't seen it.

Highly recommend for comfort, value, and charm!

Super comfy, warm, and delightful old world charm. Clean as a whistle. Friendly staff with bonus dog to lighten the mood.

Oddly, there was no shampoo.
