Very cool accomodation in the old Church. Respectfully kept some of the gestures of the church like some of the beams and rafters and the stained glass. Great communication with the owners who were very accomodating to our requests Thanks so much

We were very disappointed with this property. In the apartment the underfloor heating in one bathroom did not work. The jets in the showers did not work. Two of the taps were not fixed to the sinks and spun around when used. There were cracks in the walls. The entrance way was not clean. There was a lot of rubbish outside Apartment 3. The parking was a nightmare. There was no fresh milk. For the price, this was simply not acceptable. I sent an email to the property and pointed out our concerns - they didnt even respond.

Stylish and interesting apartments in the middle of town, it was a great place to stay. We loved our apartment, very cozy yet historic. We had no problems parking in the spot provided. The apartment was very warm and cozy, but if your someone who really needs fresh breezes and windows out to the open, you might not enjoy it here. There are also a lot of stairs, which was fine for us.

lovely property but quite dark inside and you couldnt see any daylight as internal church apartments. We enjoyed our stay regardless.

Clever restoration, squeezing apartment boxes inside the chapel without harming the heritage listed building. Given that this meant only one small opening window, I would not want to stay more than a few days. Great service and location... just not pleasant marinating in my own farts (due to bathroom and bedrooms having no fresh air.

We stayed in a studio apartment on New Years Eve. Needed somewhere close to the centre of Dunedin, but not close enough to be noisy. Very useful to have parking as it was very busy. The apartment was well-furnished and very clean, and had everything we needed. One small problem was that the set-top box was in a different part of the room to the TV, and out of range from where I was sitting, which made it a bit awkward. Otherwise, all well.

Very unique building being an old church. Great location to the heart of Dunedin and The Octagon for food and entertainment. Parking could be a problem but we timed it perfectly for free street parking overnight.

The check in whiteboard in the main lobby gave our apartment number & keypad code for access but no indication that Apt 3 wasn't in the main building so it took me quite a while to realise I had to go out of the building, along the street, round the corner into the next street and up the hill to find the apartment in an annexe behind the main building! The apartment itself was lovely, well-equipped, very clean and quirky (the bedroom & bathroom were on a mezzanine up a spiral staircase) being originally a church. The heat pump & heated bathroom floor worked very well. BUT although the TV worked fine in the afternoon, in the evening all we got was sound & no picture. WiFi was erratic & unreliable to the extent that it was unusable. We tried many times to contact the manager but the phone in the lobby with a button for "Manager" just got the engaged tone. The room guide had an 0800 number that was wrong (or out of date) and a mobile number that just went to answerphone. The guide also had a note from "Hannah" (the Manager was "Jon" elsewhere) about WiFi problems over the holiday season that should be fixed in the New Year (!) Other information in the guide was obviously out of date too, e.g. the heat pump instructions said to put a key card in a slot, neither of which existed; there were references to Cadbury World and the Cadbury factory, which closed in 2018 and 2019, respectively, so we eventually decided that the phone numbers must also be out of date and gave up with them.

Great location and nice furnishings , however the bed squeaked badly and was saggy in the middle. Shower set up is overly complicated and is broken so our shower taps leaked badly Also the windows are filthy on the outside and need regular cleaning. Could be a lot better fit the price charged

This is an extremely unique property which is why we booked it during our recent stay in Dunedin. It’s centrally located and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. There was great communication regarding check in from the manager (Jon) prior to our arrival, and self check was easy. We stayed for one night in apartment #2. The unit was clean, and had amenities such a fridge, dishwasher and washing machine (we didn’t use it). You could see that some updates had been made. As someone who prefers to be complimentary, I’d be remiss if I didn't mention that the particular unit we stayed in could be improved greatly by removing the tattered carpet, and fixing the leak that clearly had left stains down the wall. That was a bit of a turn off to see immediately upon entering.

Very cool building. Around 7 units all inside of an old church - very cool. Cant beat the location. Very handy to the Octagon. I can just imagine if all of the units were booked it would be a bit noisy (there are complimentary earplugs in the bathrooms!)

Excellent location just one block from the Octagon. The apartment was really large with a full kitchen and laundry and an ensuite for each bedroom. The heat pump warmed the whole apartment and each bed had electric blankets. The building is beautiful.

We stayed here 2 years ago and went back for the space and location. It is looking a bit tired now compared to last time though - hopefully teh apartment is about to be done up (there was paint in the wardrobe and they’ve done up the outside)!

We enjoyed our 1 night stay in Chapel Apartments - a unique building, large 2 bedroom apartment with modern furnishings. Apartment had everything we needed - including washing powder with separate washer and dryer, full kitchen to cook meals, two separate ensuite bathrooms, electric blankets! Great location - close to the Octagon. Easy self check-in with good communication from property owner. Our only concern was the front door of the building being left open overnight, but very convenient if we were checking in late.

We enjoyed our stay at the clean & centrally located Chapel Apartments. However, it would have been nice to have more than 1 set of dishes for 4 people. Only having 4 cups, glasses, side plates, dinner plates, bowls and cutlery for 4 is not efficient when loading a dishwasher with a few dishes. Otherwise we had to wash our dishes by hand.

Great location (right near the octagon) and unique accommodation are the real attractions. The major draw back is that the owners/mnagers are off-site so check-in is a little fiddly but not difficult and there seems to be no disabled access/lifts if you needed this. Parking in this part of town can be tricky also.

We loved the two bedroom apartment. We stayed there for two nights. We cooked and we had our fun. The kitchen was very equipped. Bedrooms were nice, two bathrooms on suites. They don’t offer twin beds but two queen bed was fine for us. The kitchen and lounge was upstairs, it makes it quite easy. The location was very nice. Quiet, safe, walkable. We had onsite parking, so parking was really easy for us. If not, there are planty of parking out the road or Wilson parking across the road as the onsite parking were limited. It’s a walk up so hopefully you don’t have lots of big suitcases and staying for only one night- it could be annoying if you have big suit case. Service was very good, the lady was nice. We had our key ready by the time we arrived. We saw our name on the white board so we know what room we were in even there’s no one at the office. We will come and stay again if we come back to Dunedin. (We also had a look of the 3 bedrooms, that looked so good but it wasn’t available for two nights. I suggest the 3 bedroom for family over 4 people and if you are traveling with elderly, it would be a good option as the 3 bedrooms are one floor open plan- no need to walk up to kitchen by steps.)

Hi,we stayed your hotel on Jan 19. Since we didn't meet each other, we called you and left our parking receipt in our room table the next morning, and sent email to you about my credit information. but up to now we are back to China, we received neither our parking fee ($22) nor your email. I had to say it's not a nice feeling.

Located on the outer octagon approx. 5 mins walk to the center of the octagon. Really well designed two bedroom apartment with bedrooms located on the bottom floor and lounge and kitchen facilities on top floor. Top floor was very warm due to only 1 small external window however aircon on bottom level made sleeping easy.

The double bed in the single appartment is a bit small. There is obviously some renovation work going on with exposed plaster showing. The car park space needs to have tow away signs to avoid having the public park in your space.

The apartments are situated within an old church right in the heart of Dunedin city, right opposite the parking building on Moray Play. They are very tastefully furnished and quite spacious, with modern fully equipped kitchen and a large flat screen TV (Sky). The designer of the apartments incorporated the original stained glass windows and beams in the design, giving the décor that something special and unique. Access requires contacting the developer/manager (Jon) upon arrival via in free phone – note that check-in ceases at 11 pm when John goes to bed! There is parking available next to the apartments (unless someone steals your pace!). The only ‘negative’ is the noise issue; the church is very echoey and conversations at the door can easily be heard within the apartment – it appears the sound proofing is poor. This must be a continual problem, as ear plugs were provided in the kitchen drawer and a note was placed alerting residents to suggested steps to take if neighbours were noisy. Nevertheless, apart from this, the apartments are great and a very well situated base to explore Dunedin and its environs.
