Apartments with Kitchen

All apartments include a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Each unit has a balcony, sofa, and heating. The fully equipped kitchen comes with an oven, refrigerator, and utensils. Choose from one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or family apartments - some with two separate bedrooms. Towels and linen are provided.

Self-Catering Options

Cumberland Motel has no on-site restaurant, but every apartment has a fully equipped kitchen for cooking your own meals. A convenience store (dairy) is across the road for last-minute snacks. Many restaurants and takeaway places are within a short walk, especially near the University of Otago.

On-Site Amenities

Free WiFi and free on-site parking are included. The property has outdoor furniture, a picnic area, and a sun terrace. Laundry facilities are available, and daily housekeeping keeps the units clean. The motel is smoke-free, with designated smoking areas outside.

Location & Transport

Cumberland Motel is a 2-minute walk from the University of Otago and a 5-minute drive from Forsyth Barr Stadium. Dunedin Botanic Garden and Otago Museum are nearby. The city centre is a 5-minute drive, and Dunedin International Airport is 30 minutes away. On-site parking is free but tight for large vehicles; street parking is possible.

Services & Staff

Staff offer express check-in/check-out and can arrange late arrivals. The motel welcomes families with children under 16 and accepts group bookings for stag or hen parties. Services include daily housekeeping, laundry, and fax/photocopying. Guest reviews often mention friendly, accommodating staff who go out of their way - for example, leaving handwritten notes and treats for guests dealing with personal situations.

“The genuine warmth of the staff, evident from thoughtful welcome notes to accommodating emergencies, truly defines the experience here. Clean, comfortable rooms and abundant hot water underscore the value, while the location places you within easy reach of both essential amenities and the city center.”
