Featuring free WiFi and a terrace, Artica Art & Accommodation offers accommodation in Port Chalmers, 12 minutes' drive from Dunedin CBD and 31 minutes' drive from Larnach Castle. Free private parking is available on site.

Kirsten was a fabulous host. Her tips on places to eat was spot on. The room was a welcome relief from standard motels etc. Tastefully decorated, bed was super comfy, 2 heaters to keep us warm, shower had great pressure and the complimentery drinks were much appreciated. Btw, if you don't need to stay in central Dunedin and appreciate an area with some charachter, Port Chalmers is a quaint area with an eclectic mix of cafes, pubs and restaurants.

Situated on the top level of the iconic building, 'The Hydro', this property is set directly opposite Dunedin's popular St Clair Beach. Each of the Hydro Esplanade Apartments boasts free WiFi, ocean views and access to the rooftop terrace and balcony.

The Hydro Esplande apartments are beautifully located right on the ocean. Besides the opportunity to sit by the sea there is a rooftop sitting area. There is a well equipped kitchen (unfortunately there is no dishwasher or washer/dryer). The shower has excellent water pressure and has plenty of towels. I loved the towel warmer. The tv works well. Unfortunately the Blu-ray player was not connected and there were no wires for me to do so. Buying one in town was ridiculously high. The dining area and the bedroom have great views. The bed is very comfortable. They have a nice information sheet and have brochures about various attractions in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed Dunedin and this apartment.

    The price, for a perfectly functional and comfortable stay. Was especially happy thinking we were all in one room to find the kids had the lounge we had a room. It might not be the flashest but it was warm, comfy and affordable.

    A special place to get away, tucked away amongst ferns. Great for a couple or small family. The beds were super comfy and the loft is such a fun space for children.The deck is a perfect spot to unwind and look out to the water.

    We had a family apartment which was bigger than we needed, but it was the only room available. The loft style would be excellent for families with older children - quite a unique layout.

    The location was absolutely amazing, beautiful views all day long and the sea crashing against the wall provided squealing delight from children and adults alike all day long. Close proximity to great restaurants and bars was a huge bonus and the kids loved the playground next door. Very child and baby friendly accommodation. So much character, so many thoughtful details on behalf of the owners. We couldn't recommend the entire accommodation more highly!

    Very family friendly, which is a huge bonus when traveling with small children. A great amount of space, plenty of room for a portacot in the bedrooms. Will be our new regular accomodation choice when we travel.
