Owens Motel
About
In South Island, Owens Motel is a hotel at 745 George Street, Dunedin North, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand. It sits within Dunedin, one of the island's established centres, and Wanaka and Te Anau lie within reach for onward travel.
Owens Motel is known for its straightforward motel-style accommodation, and a 4 out of 5 average across 154 reviews reflects a steady record among guests. Dunedin, Christchurch, Queenstown, Nelson, Blenheim, Kaikoura and Wanaka all sit within reach, so the motel works as a base for a wider South Island itinerary. A website at http://www.owensmotel.nz/ carries further detail on the property.
First-time visitors can expect a motel format with rooms accessed from the property itself, and the website at http://www.owensmotel.nz/ sets out the arrangements. Dunedin North places the motel within the city's northern quarter, close to the university area and the centre.
Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common across the island, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds appear around the coast. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so December to February is summer and June to August is winter. A temperate maritime climate keeps summers mild, and snow at low altitude is rare in winter. Ferries reach Waiheke, the Hauraki Gulf islands and Stewart Island, while a Cook Strait service links the two main islands.
