Aria on Bank

Fully appointed loft cabin-style room - I stayed in the superior loft suite for 3 weeks and it had everything I needed. Plenty living room space for 1 person, large double bed with electric blanket and comfy linen/pillows. Kitchenette with everything you need, bathroom with good ventilation. Opposite the bus stop, close to botanic gardens, grocery store and a few local restaurants, 20-30min walk to town centre. Shared laundry with washer & dryer and laundry powder provided. Couldn't ask for anything more! Looks just as presented in the photos.

It’s a motel but each unit is 2-story high. The bedroom is on the 2nd floor while the living room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom are on the ground floor. Staff are helpful and accommodating. We have a party of 4 and 3 of us got sick (flu). So I asked the front desk (forgot his name) to give us an extra linen and blanket so our friend (who’s not sick) can sleep in the couch and not share the bedroom with any of us who have fever and coughing. And he did - he even gave an extra pillow. Very understanding!

Just about everything went well. Location is superb: within a 5 min walk are a coffee bar, shops, supermarket (New World), bus stops for 3 different routes, and Dunedin Botanic Garden. Units with east-facing windows are a treat- sun pouring in from 8 until noon! $32 for door-to-door airport shuttle.

Aria on Bank has been our favourite place to stay whilst visiting the South Island. Gorgeous loft apartment that is short walking distance to the Dunedin Botanic Gardens, cafes, restaurants, shopping centre and even a cool little bar called Inch Bar, that has live music most nights. The owner was helpful, highlighting places to go on a map. The apartment had everything we needed including a hot plate, comfortable bed and powerful shower.

Beautiful cosy accomodation for a long weekend in Dunedin. Such a bonus to get rooms serviced every morning and also fresh milk with a great tea/coffee selection!
