No communication whatsoever, not even a response and refusal for any partial refund when natural disaster (flooding) prevented us from arriving. Complete lack of “hospitality” or any helpfulness in what was an unfortunate situation. Very unprofessional. 

Bad experience 

We arrived and were assigned the Garden Room. This room has bedroom and bathroom windows that others pass by to get to their rooms, so we had to keep the blinds closed most of the time. The bedroom and bath were very spacious, but lacked shelving for toiletries, etc. The breakfast was somewhat underwhelming, as when we arrived there was no coffee or tea available. Also, there was not much left of the continental breakfast items. There is parking in the back below the buildings. 

Just OK

This place is an amazing slice of Dunedin history with great service. Super easy check in and check out. My room was the beautifully restored victorian room. It was nice and warm thanks to the heat pump! Very nice facilities and breakfast nice. Great location

Amazing villa room and great service 

Room large with massive on suit, BUT no tea or coffee facilities only in other house across the drive.  Key left on a front door with name and map ! Saying Breakfast not included...Car parking ok, so able to walk into city...not a good experience.

What Breakfast !

This is a lovely old villa with large rooms and a variety of types of rooms depending on whether you want an en-suite or don’t mind sharing a bathroom.  The owners are friendly and seem to be working hard on the business.  This is great value!  I read some of the reviews and think that they are a bit harsh.  You aren’t booking a 5 star hotel.  We had a lovely large, clean room with an en-suite.  We were very comfortable with everything we needed.  In my opinion, for the price you can’t do any better. We didn’t have breakfast on this visit, but have done so in the past which was a simple breakfast but good value in a bright spacious dining room.  We will keep staying here when we visit Dunedin.  

Comfortable and good value.

WE booked this accommodation during the Eagles Concert and were ripped off accordingly ($220 per night). Our room was not the one described in our booking. It was a musty dungeon down stairs and looking out onto a dark mouldy and unkempt so called garden. There was very little hanging space and totally lacked maintenance ,It was necessary to hold the spout of the cold water tap to turn it off. We were greeted by a young girl who told us that the light flickering in the room would eventually stop flickering! Caveat Emptor!!!!

The worst B&B we have experienced in NZ

What a charming building, like stay in the 19 century with all the comforts of now.
Clean room, great views. We had the African room. Polished staircase and stained glass windows. And the pet cat.
Breakfast was good. The B and B is within walking distance of every thing 
Staff were friendly and helpful.


NZ Trip

We toured New Zealand in Feb 2019, driving more than 3000 miles and stopping at 15 different places, so are well placed to compare accommodation. All were pre-booked which with hindsight was wise as a lot of places had the No Vacancy sign up.

This is a mid 19th century Victorian house with a bit of history. It belonged to the first doctor/surgeon in Dunedin, Edward Hulme, and was used as a surgery. The property had a large piece of land which included the church at the bottom of the hill (now Chapel Apartments, painted blue). With hindsight this was certainly the oldest property we stayed in on our travels and a little bit different. You could walk into the centre of Dunedin from here.
 
We stayed in the ’Queen Ensuite Room’ which is described as ‘Turret Ensuite Room’ on the website.

Positives: Good size room with a bath and shower – in fact this was one of the only places we stayed that had a bath. Breakfast was fine – cereals, toast etc but no cooked breakfast. Off road parking at rear of property.

Negatives: Not suitable for anyone with mobility problems – steps to front and rear, plus a hill to negotiate walking into Dunedin centre.

Quirky, old-fashioned and a bit different

More of. A boarding house really, but welll located and comfortable. No lounge but breakfast adequate. Satisfactory as a budget solution. Excellent car parking.  Staff did the necessary and were perfect ectly pleasant. But it felt like routine.

Completely devoid of personality

With its hilltop location, Hulmes Court is a quaint B&B in an interesting but somewhat tired building. Our room was comfortable enough although the bathroom was in desperate need of re-fitting. Breakfast, as supplied, was as much as could be needed, with a good range of cereals and different breads to toast. The central location made it an easy stroll down into town.  It was a good stay, although we were scheduled to move onto The Brothers and so stayed but once,
