What guests think

Across recent reviews, Cable Court Motel is praised for friendly, accommodating hosts, convenient access to the university and city, comfortable rooms with very good beds, and practical perks like parking, pet friendliness, and useful in-room amenities.

Traffic and student-area noise affect some front or roadside rooms, though quieter rooms at the back are available. Rooms are generally older, with occasional maintenance issues, yet many find them adequately sized. Cleanliness is consistently noted as good, with a few reports of bathroom wear, mould, or tired fixtures. Expect a friendly, good-value base near campus with potential street noise.

Older but well kept, free assigned parking, helpful friendly staff, close to all restaurants, walk to botanical gardens (maybe not at night as there was a lot of garbage on the street that way so not sure of safety), close to university, comfy bed, traffic noise at night but stopped by 11ish.

Lovely friendly & accommodating staff, cleanliness of unit and price make this motel great value in my opinion. keep in mind it's an older property , we found parking was tight as they were full. Also Dog show in Dunedin that weekend there were many dogs staying, we had no disturbance during the night. Location is in the student area on a busy one way, did not bother us

Wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause und verlängerten sogar unseren Aufenthalt. Es gibt 2 Waschmaschinen, die man kostenfrei nutzen kann - die 2 Trockner kann man für 2 NZD nutzen. Unser Zimmer Nr. 18 scheint neu renoviert und ist sehr gemütlich!

I loved my upstairs room with a view. Clean, spacious, tidy and the bed was so comfy. The best thing about this hotel is that it is pet friendly and I have two indoor-only, well-trained cats. Unfortunately, I had some young and unruly partying guests late at night in the room next door, however, the hotel management sorted them out immediately upon notification and peace was restored. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be close to a convenient main road, and within walking distance of the Botanic Gardens, university, museum, shops cafes, restaurants and the main street of town. I strolled safely up to the scenic Octagon at night for a lovely dinner - lots of options.

Cleanliness was poor. No excuse for dirt build up in corners of kitchen windows and in the bathroom around shower etc. Stick on vinyl tiles would hide a great deal of the hard water damage and can be readily replaced when needed. No blind in the kitchen meant the security light behind shone straight on to the bed making it difficult to sleep. Toilet seat wouldn't stay up for the convenience of a male!! Music across the road was pleasant but stayed on too late for travellers.

Amongst the most friendly motels I have ever had the pleasure to stay at. Excellent local knowledge and advice on places to go, things to see and places to eat. Great location only a very short walk from anything you could want; gardens, restaurants, takeaway options, and a 10-15min short stroll to central Dunedin (the Octagon). Motel itself is kept very clean and is comfortable.
