Property information

Highland House was built in 1911 as three-terrace dwellings. This distinctive building now has been renovated as a self-contained boutique hotel which offers the best of all conveniences, along with the bygone charm of Dunedin’s Scottish heritage. The hotel is located on George St, a traditional “University” street of Dunedin, 'The Edinburgh of the Southern Hemisphere '. The House is divided into 3 separate terraces with 10 studios. So, there is the option of having one whole terrace containing 4 spacious studios, two terraces containing 8 studios or the whole house with 10 studios. All the studios feature a kitchenette with microwave, fridge, electric kettle, toaster, tea/coffee making facilities, etc.; a private bathroom including free toiletries; pillowtop beds with comforts like premium bedding and down comforters; flat-screen TV with digital channels. Free WiFi is covered through the property. Free private parking is available on the site . Self-laundry facilities, 24-hr front desk, and express check-in/out are available at this smoke-free hotel.
