Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The kitchen was well-equipped and spotless, with enough space for multiple people to cook at the same time. I really appreciated that the female and male rooms are naturally separated without any extra cost. It truly felt like home. My room was spacious, with a comfortable bed, and during the day I often had it all to myself. The location is perfect, just a ten-minute walk to the historic centre of Dunedin. The building itself is beautiful and full of history. I wish more people would visit during the off-season, as this place truly deserves more recognition. Thank you, I hope to stay again in the future!
Negative: I cannot think of anything I wouldn't like.
Summary: My stay at Chalet Backpackers felt like home.
