Travellers consistently praise Bluestone On George for immaculate, spacious rooms with quality touches like in-room laundry, kitchenettes, spa baths and balconies, a comfortable bed setup, and for its genuinely friendly owners, plus a convenient, walkable location with on-site parking.
Guests also appreciate thoughtful extras such as a cozy lounge offering evening wine and platters and a small gym. Recurring drawbacks include occasional noise from nearby venues or students and, for some, limited soundproofing; a short steep approach and the absence of room service are also noted. Expect a comfortable, well-equipped base within easy reach of central Dunedin.

This hotel is perfect. Super clean, seems virtually brand new. In room laundry and kitchenette. Excellent bedding. Very comfy. Nice seating area, very spacious. Great view from our 4th floor balcony. Free parking. Easy walk to everything in town. Nice lounge area with afternoon service of wine and appetizer platters at a reasonable cost. Neville and Sandra are fantastic hosts. Highly recommended!

Bluestone on George provides an immaculate, serene hotel room perfect for couples. The owners also offer small bottles of wine and a cheese and cracker plate available during happy hour in the lobby sitting area. It feels almost as though you’re sitting in an elegant home. The the courtyard is well kept and clean. Parking is free, which is a bonus! We were able to walk to most everywhere in downtown Dunedin from the hotel. The owners are on site and actually must have an apartment above or below the reception area. There were a few times we had questions during our multi day stay and needed to ring a buzzer because they were hard at work elsewhere in the hotel. I would say the benefit of them being the owners and Onsite regularly is everything runs smoothly. If I had to search for a negative, which is hard to do, it would be that I felt bad, interrupting their work to ask questions. For those with mobility issues, there is a working elevator and handicapped spaces. If you arrive late, and all parking spaces are taken the walk of the very short hill to reception is quite steep. There was always ample parking for us the whole time we were there so that was not an issue. I’m just mentioning that for others reading this review. We selected a top floor loft, which had a small step out balcony with views of the area towards George Street. Very nice to open the doors to see he balcony.

We had such a lovely stay at Bluestone on George. It’s a little slice of luxury in a great location. We only stayed two nights but had everything we needed. Parking was also easy and convenient on the hotel grounds which is something that was important to us during our three week road trip. Highly recommend staying here.

One of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. Just perfection: the mattress, the pillows, the sheets, and blankets. Heaven. A lot of thought has gone into Bluestone on George. The giant jacuzzi tub. The in-room washing machine. A minibar. There is even a little gym. Just a very comfortable place to stay in Dunedin, close to a lot of eating options. Highly recommended.

The property was very clean, had stylish decor and lots of thoughtful amenities - such as a well-equipped kitchenette, washing machine and comfortable seating area. The location was convenient to town and the university and the off-street parking was an added bonus. Will definitely be going back there to stay again.

I didn't want to leave. Very comfortable room, spacious, light, small balcony, but it was lovely to have the door open. Enormous bathroom with large spa bath - it might be difficult for some to get in to use the shower. There is a grab handle. Nice kitchenette and even has a washing machine. The guest lounge looked nice, but didn't use this, although they say they offer drinks and platters. May be next time! Some great eateries close by and around 20 min walk to the Octagon.

Loved our three night stay at Bluestone On George. Our room was on the third floor with a small balcony. Location was very walkable to nearby restaurants and the Octagon though walking up from the street to the hotel entrance can be a little steep for some. Convenient On-Site parking. Our room was impeccably clean and comfortable. Location is convenient to visiting nearby sites and reasonable drives to Moeraki, The Royal Albatross Centre or a nice days outing to Nugget Point Lighthouse.

What a wonderful hotel. Everything has been thought about. The bed is swoon-worthy. I love that there was a washer/dryer in room, and everything in the little kit he to feel at home. Added bonus is the heated bathroom floor. A definite favorite.

Comfortable, clean and spacious accommodation that was convenient for our short stay in Dunedin. The owners were friendly and the room was well-equipped with all the amenities you'd need. The only downside was the loud music we could hear from a nearby venue (our stay did include Friday and Saturday nights) well into the night. Apart from this we would highly recommend this place.

I liked its tasteful restful design. Cleanliness and comfortable bed. I did not like the lack of sound proof walls as I could hear cleaning staff in the morning. And general noise outside.Noise is very distracting for me. Having said that, it is a busy location so probably not one to choose for a quiet retreat but more a very nice place to stay if out and about as location is very central.

Bluestone on George provides an immaculate, serene hotel room perfect for couples. The owners also offer small bottles of wine and a cheese and cracker plate available during happy hour in the lobby sitting area. It feels almost as though you’re sitting in an elegant home. The the courtyard is well kept and clean. Parking is free, which is a bonus! We were able to walk to most everywhere in downtown Dunedin from the hotel. The owners are on site and actually must have an apartment above or below the reception area. There were a few times we had questions during our multi day stay and needed to ring a buzzer because they were hard at work elsewhere in the hotel. I would say the benefit of them being the owners and Onsite regularly is everything runs smoothly. If I had to search for a negative, which is hard to do, it would be that I felt bad, interrupting their work to ask questions. For those with mobility issues, there is a working elevator and handicapped spaces. If you arrive late, and all parking spaces are taken the walk of the very short hill to reception is quite steep. There was always ample parking for us the whole time we were there so that was not an issue. I’m just mentioning that for others reading this review. We selected a top floor loft, which had a small step out balcony with views of the area towards George Street. Very nice to open the doors to see he balcony.

Bluestone on George is a very well maintained and comfortable hotel on the high side of George Street. It is a comfortable 15 minute walk to the centre of Town and 5 minutes more to the station. The hosts were friendly and dealt with our one minor problem quickly. We would not hesitate to use this hotel again.

I liked its tasteful restful design. Cleanliness and comfortable bed. I did not like the lack of sound proof walls as I could hear cleaning staff in the morning. And general noise outside.Noise is very distracting for me. Having said that, it is a busy location so probably not one to choose for a quiet retreat but more a very nice place to stay if out and about as location is very central.

Bluestone on George is an excellent choice for downtown Dunedin. Close to all the shopping, great restaurants, the railway station and The Octagon!

We had such a lovely stay at Bluestone on George. It’s a little slice of luxury in a great location. We only stayed two nights but had everything we needed. Parking was also easy and convenient on the hotel grounds which is something that was important to us during our three week road trip. Highly recommend staying here.

The location of the property is good. I think it would be good for guests to know before arriving there will be screaming, partying college students surrounding the property until late into the night. Also, we were annoyed that this is advertised as a non-smoking room and facility because smoking was allowed at a table outside our room. Obviously, the smoke is going to infiltrate through the windows. This is problematic for us as it triggers my husband’s asthma.

Loved our three night stay at Bluestone On George. Our room was on the third floor with a small balcony. Location was very walkable to nearby restaurants and the Octagon though walking up from the street to the hotel entrance can be a little steep for some. Convenient On-Site parking. Our room was impeccably clean and comfortable. Location is convenient to visiting nearby sites and reasonable drives to Moeraki, The Royal Albatross Centre or a nice days outing to Nugget Point Lighthouse.

Bluestone on George is a very well maintained and comfortable hotel on the high side of George Street. It is a comfortable 15 minute walk to the centre of Town and 5 minutes more to the station. The hosts were friendly and dealt with our one minor problem quickly. We would not hesitate to use this hotel again.

Great location walking distance to downtown malls, restaurants, and the iconic train station. Rooms are large, immaculately clean, and had everything you could need including in-room laundry and jacuzzi. All this for a reasonable price.

This hotel is perfect. Super clean, seems virtually brand new. In room laundry and kitchenette. Excellent bedding. Very comfy. Nice seating area, very spacious. Great view from our 4th floor balcony. Free parking. Easy walk to everything in town. Nice lounge area with afternoon service of wine and appetizer platters at a reasonable cost. Neville and Sandra are fantastic hosts. Highly recommended!

Bluestone on George provides an immaculate, serene hotel room perfect for couples. The owners also offer small bottles of wine and a cheese and cracker plate available during happy hour in the lobby sitting area. It feels almost as though you’re sitting in an elegant home. The the courtyard is well kept and clean. Parking is free, which is a bonus! We were able to walk to most everywhere in downtown Dunedin from the hotel. The owners are on site and actually must have an apartment above or below the reception area. There were a few times we had questions during our multi day stay and needed to ring a buzzer because they were hard at work elsewhere in the hotel. I would say the benefit of them being the owners and Onsite regularly is everything runs smoothly. If I had to search for a negative, which is hard to do, it would be that I felt bad, interrupting their work to ask questions. For those with mobility issues, there is a working elevator and handicapped spaces. If you arrive late, and all parking spaces are taken the walk of the very short hill to reception is quite steep. There was always ample parking for us the whole time we were there so that was not an issue. I’m just mentioning that for others reading this review. We selected a top floor loft, which had a small step out balcony with views of the area towards George Street. Very nice to open the doors to see he balcony.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to stay at Bluestone on George. The room was clean, well-appointed, and had a lovely view. The owners are on site and incredibly accommodating. I saw on other reviews that other guests were disappointed by a lack of room service, but the owners carefully curated a compendium of local information that included restaurants with delivery service so, for me, this obviated the need for on-site dining. (And, also, we tried a couple of the recommended restaurants and they were excellent.) Convenient location as well - a relatively short walk to shops, restaurants, and the Octagon. Highly recommend!

This was a beautiful room in a fantastic location. The bathroom was spacious and well equipped. The kitchenette was a great plus and well appreciated. We enjoyed being able to walk not only to the university but also into the main shopping and restaurant areas.

I didn't want to leave. Very comfortable room, spacious, light, small balcony, but it was lovely to have the door open. Enormous bathroom with large spa bath - it might be difficult for some to get in to use the shower. There is a grab handle. Nice kitchenette and even has a washing machine. The guest lounge looked nice, but didn't use this, although they say they offer drinks and platters. May be next time! Some great eateries close by and around 20 min walk to the Octagon.
