Very clean and neat. But the house is old and creaky, the floors vibrates and creaks if we walk. Kitchen facilities are not good. Seems like lots of tenants stay there for very very long time. But its closer to town and supermarkets More

Stayed there for 4 nights and the place was really good. My room was upstairs, so it was quiet in there as there were only 3 or 4 rooms in total. All dorm rooms were downstairs. Location was great, only about a 10-minute walk to Octagon. Staff was nice and the place was clean. Kitchen wasn't too big though and... More

The staff here are absolutely clueless. They don't know the prices of the tours they offer, aren't around when you need them (like when you need to check out and get your stuff back), and then completely mismanaged a simple task, to send something an important document the mail. Essentially it's run by a bunch of 20-something ex-pat amateurs who... More

We stayed here with our Under 16 Rugby team. Having stayed in several lodgings with a team before we found this to be the best we have stayed in. Such a relaxing environment and the manager was very friendly and helpful. We would definately book again and will recomment to others. More

I flew in to Dunedin to relax and find out what I wanted to do with my short time in New Zealand. I ended up staying 4 days, traveled around, then came back to the Manor House for 2 days because of the friends I made. I was able to relax as I fell in with the staff and hostel... More

Its very grey, cold and rains a lot and during this bad weather there is not much to do so coming to a backpackers that is a good twenty minutes out of the city and on a steep hill and even steeper driveway, i was not impressed with this...

The rooms were spacious and warm and the staff were frinedly, I just felt it could do with a facelift but could still keep its character. The kitchen was a bit cramped and not everythin seemed to be working. More

I camped here for twice because this is the only hostel in city providing tent site. They have two old houses but still good and beautiful. Facilities are above average, just its location is a bit far from city, it takes about 15mins to walk. The dinning area in the back house is smaller than the front house, they only... More

I stayed three nights in this hostel. The house itself is rather nice and old, unfortunately the insides are a bit old too - the kitchen and living room area could do with a bit of a shakeup. It's clean enough though, and has that comfy feeling of home. The staff are very friendly and will help with anything you're... More

We spent a few days exploring all that Dunedin has to offer, and one of our nights sleep was in the Manor house Backpackers! This old house is not too far from the main Octagon area of the town, which is where all the pubs, shops and entertainment are. Kitchen is a little dated, dorms dont have key access,and the... More
