Hotel St Clair is a wonderful new hotel allowing a speculative view of the ocean and easy access to anything in Dunedin. One of the best small hotels we have stayed in.

Right on the Esplanade at St. Clair beach. Windy but fantastic location. A good meal can be had at PizzaBar nearby or on site cafe. Ample street parking so we didn’t try the underground lot.

Helpful staff at St Clair
Chloé at the reception was very helpful when we were having issues with our transport.
She helped us book an Uber and helped us with looking after our luggage.

Fantastic boutique hotel right on the beach. Clean and comfortable rooms with friendly helpful staff in a prime location. If you can afford it pay the extra for an ocean view room.

You won’t find a better location if you like the beach. The hotel is just across the road from a beautiful beach and it’s lovely to watch the sunrise/set it just beach life.
The staff are so nice and helpful and rooms have good amenities.
Can’t fault this hotel. A short drive from Dunedin CBD
