Great one bedroom apartment, clean spacious and great range of TV channels including Netflix. On the downside the sofa was rather uncomfortable, no chairs for the balcony and the kitchenette had insufficient large pans to cook for two. Also there is a new building being built next door (so zero view from balcony), not their fault but at least mentioning it when they showed us to our room would have been helpful together with the 8am start time for the builders. (However outside those times the place was very quiet.)

Barry and Donna were excellent hosts. They gave plenty of great advice on places to see and eating options. The place is located in the centre of Dunedin so you can walk to most things. The place is spotless and has just been renovated. I would recommend this place to anyone to stay. Has laundry facilities also.

Friendly and inviting. The owner was very enthusiastic about Dunedin and gave us great info and a very warm welcome at reception In-room ameneties were great: functional kitchen with a closet full of dinnerware. Spacious dining/living room area. Parking does feel a bit tight if full, but there is turning room towards the back of the lot. We managed to do it even with a larger SUV.

My partner and I booked a studio at Amross Motel and it was really spacious with an ensuite and fully functional kitchenette. The room was clean and bed was really comfortable. The linen was of high quality, similar to what you'd get in a 4-5 star hotel. Barry and Donna (the owners) were amazing hosts. They were always happy to offer suggestions on things to do and places to visit. They went out of their way to make our stay really comfortable. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Dunedin next time.

Great motel in a great location - just a short walk to plenty of cafes and restaurants, and 20 minute walk to the Octagon. Spacious spotless rooms, friendly and helpful owner, and good value for money. One of the best value for money motels we stayed in during a 3 week NZ trip. Would definitely stay here again.

Barry was a nice host but the facilities are a bit dated and with such a large room (family room - one king, two twins) it was surprising to see such a small bathroom. The internet Wi-Fi just couldn’t be used and we resorted to cell service.

Great place to stay for a few nights while my son was doing some things at the uni. Very spacious, comfortable room. Fantastic that there were separate sleeping areas. The main bed was very comfortable. The heating was great - easy to use and warmed up the rooms quickly. The area is quiet so we enjoyed undisturbed sleeps. The owners are super friendly and helpful. We'll stay again if we have to be on the uni side of Dunedin.

We had to detour to Dunedin and find a last minute hotel. We grabbed Amross last minute on Expedia. It was quite nice, would be expecially nice for longer stays as it has a full kitchen, large space, and parking. The owners, Barry and Donna, really showed pride in their motel, were very helpful, sent a welcome email and made sure that we booked the correct night. 5 stars aren't enough for them! Location is about 4 blocks from the main square and a couple blocks from the University. Very walkable and drivable town.
