I was here for a week by myself attending an event and needed a place to stay. I booked directly with the guesthouse well in advance and they gave me a little discount as well. On the first day we ended up in Middlemarch and only got back to the lodge late and they kindly called me to find out if I was still coming. The guest lodge is small and quaint with adequate parking at the back. The room though small was comfortable and had a sink and desk (in one) and a bed. The bathroom was three doors away and always empty when I was there. The breakfasts were simple but healthy and tasty. They were very friendly and you got a key to get in if you came back late. Free wifi was good as well. Would certainly stay here again if it was just me.

This is an excellent guest home. It is immaculately clean, which is terrific. There are several room options. Some exceedingly spartan, just a bed and a sink. Some have their own shower and toilet. Breakfast is cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, and several types of bread. Also, cupcakes and juice. Nothing hot, but perfectly adequate. They have a laundry room, with 2 washers and 2 dryers. The hotel is very well-managed. There is very limited seating in the breakfast room, so that can be an issue. Check out time is 10 AM. The property is a 15-20 minute walk to everything - the town center, supermarkets, the splendid botanical gardens, etc. If i were to return to Dunedin I would stay here.

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+++

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.

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.

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.
