Sahara Motels

Dunedin

Excellent place to stay. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast. Lots of character. Would recommend to anyone and would stay again. We stayed in the guest house. You could share a joke  with them as they were so friendly. I would give them a rating of 5 stars and A+++

Just one night for an alternative to a campervan. 

Old style guest house, clean, comfy beds and pillows, nicely heated, delicious breakfast, friendly hosts, very central, easy walking distance everywhere- I use this place to stay when visiting my son at Uni

Great place to stay

Headed to Dunedin for a weekend and I was delighted by a stay at the Sahara Guesthouse - better than the photos show. 

Both a guesthouse and a motel, my room was inside the guesthouse, which is a gracious old Victorian villa. The room was super comfortable, shabby chic decor, with an ensuite. Plenty of off street parking, close to the university, near the main shopping area and plenty of cafes (can recommend the Bhudda Stix and Buster Greens, which are both nearby). 

The room rate included a very decent continental breakfast.

The resident dog came out for a quick hello when I checked in too.

A really lovely stay, and I can highly recommend this guesthouse.

Charming ‘old school’ b&b

Stayed for 2 nights at the guesthouse and hence comes with breakfast. We are able to park within the premise and there is a self serviced laundry at the self serviced units bldg - $4 for washing machine and $4 for dryer. There are 2 washers and 2 dryers and there’s an ironing board and iron within the laundry room. 

Breakfast are the same on both days, cereals and bread (with toaster), and muffins for us to take. On each table are an assortment of butter/margarine/peanut butter/honey/jams.

Room is spacious (we can hear the road traffic since it is facing the road). We are fine as we get that at our hse back home. As it is an old house, hot water need some time to come in.

A satisfying stay

There is the motel and the guesthouse, with breakfast included. We slept at the guesthouse for two nights. It's an old building and therefor quite noisy. So you have to be lucky with other guests. If there are small(er) children you are screwed. Breakfast is included but if you love the hot stuff you will be dissapointed. Capacity in the breakfast area is not ok. People are forced to share a table or can't sit at all. One well meant suggestion for the owners: do not facilitate a room just metres from the entrance and right across the reception and breakfast area. That is just no place to accommodate guests. So for everybody who considers booking, you don't want to stay in room nr.7.

Dissapointing

Stayed in the motel.  Room had everything we needed and with the recent renovations in 2021 (paint, new blinds, updated bathrooms) it felt new and modern and was very clean.  Staff were friendly and approachable which just added to the experience. Loved the addition of the charging ports on one of the sockets.

Friendly welcome and would stay again

.. I first stayed at Sahara Guest house in 2017. Four years  later I returned for  2 nights. 
... the new owners have done a  Wow! of a job by refurbishing  this over 100 yr old guest house .  
... I highly recommend this Bed and breakfast establishment.
... it is comfortable, affordable, and welcoming.!

You will be impressed - Sahara Guest House is 5 star accommodation ☆☆☆☆☆

Booked for 5 nights and have zero regrets - would definetely stay again.
My room in this character building was warm, lush, and tastefully decorated.
All the guests seemed happy and friendly and the building somehow delivered on that impossible balance between warm and well ventilated.
The staff were attentive, eager to please, and their passion and attention to detail was evident in every aspect of my stay from the breakfast display through to the well maintained laundry facilities.
The free breakfast left nothing to be desired; cereals, fruits, juices, toasts, tea/coffees, mueslis, blueberries, peaches, chocolates, muffins etc.
The central location was perfect for my needs. 
I cannot recommend highly enough.

Top class but great value

Stayed in the guesthouse here. What a delightful experience. My room was lovely and the whole place was clean warm and inviting. A wee surprise I had was breakfast was free...a added bonus...I didn't know about that. A five minute walk into town if you're here for a concert Forsythe Barr is down the road about 10mins away. Definitely stay here again

Beautiful old home

Apparently renovated during covid, the guesthouse is warm, welcoming and comfortable.
The owners/hosts Mike and Julie(and night manager Hannah) are the soul of the place. They are extremely helpful, charming and accommodating. Decent breakfasts, very comfortable beds, cozy lounge, clean and modern bathrooms.
I could not speak more highly of this place. Very reasonably priced for what they offer.
