Detailed Reviews
A little out of town but a bus makes an easy trip if needed. Some motel rooms were being refurbished as some rooms were a little tired but were clean which is the main thing. We asked for and got a ground floor unit..thank you. The motel is a very short walk to the Uni and thus had lots of noisy students in the early evening but all was very quiet by about 9pm. Reception staff and the manager were all very obliging Reliable Wifi was a bit of an issue but staff got onto their technical supplier very quickly which was great. Good heating in the room made for a good night. We would stay again!

Motel is on the main road into Dunedin, so easy to find and convenient.
Our room was clean, spacious and well equipped. Our room had its own allocated parking space outside on a quiet lane at the side of the motel, so no noise from the main road.
Motel owner was friendly and efficient at check in and offered us helpful advice about eating out (little choice on a Monday evening) and also suggestions about our route for the next day.
Good value. Highly recommend.

From the moment I arrived, Cable Court Motels felt different from all the other accommodation options packed into this area of North Dunedin (I have stayed at 5-6 others in this area before). From check in to check out management where kind, helpful, friendly, compassionate and informative. This was a refreshing considerate interaction with managers who obviously take pride in their business and care for their staff and customers. Amazing to have accommodation that dogs are welcomed and not a burden, with no extra cost or hassle. Rooms were spotlessly clean and modern, warm and very spacious.
Great location, walking distance to all Dunedin's CBD amenities.
Thank you again, cannot recommend Cable Court Motel enough!

Finding the motel was tricky as both our car GPS and Google on our phones had difficulty - not sure why, perhaps it was our doing, but there seemed to be confusion with Ellis Ave which is a lane rather than a road!
The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Our room faced the road so we could hear the traffic but it was not unpleasantly noisy. The location is good with a few options close by for meals.

This motel was on a very busy one way street, but was very quiet at night with obviously double glazed windows. Very handy to eateries and close to town and walking distance to Forsyth Barr Stadium. Great service on arrival and our unit was very clean and tidy.

I stayed here last night as was working at a Career Fair at Otago University the next day.
This motel is very handy to Otago University. Friendly staff, quiet and tidy room.
Only issue was getting hot water temperature right in shower. I think Dunedin hot water is ext hot so was a bit of a balancing act and went more for the cooler side as was scared the shower would be too hot.
The room was warm and welcoming.
I would be happy to stay here again.

I was welcomed to my stay at the Cable Court Motel by Allie, one of the managers. She had taken the effort to say my name, beautifully. That effort to connect with me as a person with an uncommon name- it really did blow me away. Thank you Allie for that moment of connection.
A wee few hours later, I managed to lock myself out on the balcony. I am quite physically awkward and could have tried to clamber down the balcony and walk around to my room. But this would involve risk! A looking ridiculous and possibility causing harm to my aging & already awkward body. I called the office for Allie to assist me in my plight! Possibly this has been the most hearty laughing with an accommodation manager ever! Again, thank you Allie for making my stay quite memorable!
The room was clean and spacious, just what I needed for my overnight stay in the city. I was competing with graduation ceremonies and got the last room based on the roadside. The offer of ear plugs was declined as I did have my own. They really have thought of everything!
I recommend staying here for the friendly and approachable staff & location to everything being a short distance away.

Great location and greeted by very helpful friendly manager. Room was clean and modern, beds were huge and comfortable.
Location could be a little noisy, but you wouldn't have picked we were right in the middle of the university area, as we had a very quiet and peaceful stay

Easy to find, good off street parking and a friendly welcome from the man at reception. The room was clean, modern and well equipped, the bed was comfortable. I had a room on the street front as I quite like enjoy the sound of traffic. Short walk to the university and good restaurants. They very kindly let me leave my car in the carpark after I checked out while we went out for brunch, thank you. I will stay there again.
