Leith Valley Holiday Park and Motels

Small campsite 3 kms from the Octagon, . Peaceful place, closr yo greenery, a little tired but good facilities. The person on reception just about mustered enough enthusiasm to check us in but all other staff we came across were friendly and helpful. If you fancy a night away from downtown Dunedin, 20 mins walk away is The Inch Bar; a cozy little place that sells draft beers and, occasionally, puts on live music.

This is a nice site with all the facilities you would need. It states it is only short distance from the main road into the city which is correct, but it doesn't add it is then about 15 minutes ride on a bus down that main road to get to the town centre! The public transport is very convenient - 2-minute walk to a bus stop for a service that runs about every 30 minutes. The site is nicely laid out and not too big.

PROS: The setting of these cabins and campground is lovely, being in a green area right next to a walking track with access to Dunedin's green belt (for running, walking, biking). It is also close to both the botanical gardens and town (about a 30min walk away). CONS: The Lockwood-style cabins have no wall insulation, meaning you hear EVERYTHING from next door. They all appear to be in dire need of refurbishment, with the carpets being worn and stained, and the 2-person settee being so covered with marks that it is not an attractive option to sit on. The bathroom and kitchenette are adequate, but small enough that you wouldn't want to spend too much time there, while the 'lounge/dining area is also pretty small and unfunctional (with the couch being placed underneath the wall-mounted tv). Even the Wifi had an intermittent connection at night, and the tv box needed resetting a couple of times to activate the service. I would hesitate to recommend the cabins to anyone wanting a quality stay.

Stayed for 2 nights February 2024. The location is very good for exploring Dunedin. It takes around 30 minutes walk to reach the Octagon. You can pick up a bus from the main road too, which is approx 10 mins walk from the campsite. The bathrooms were clean and the price per night was fair. The Botanical Gardens are a short walk away and we were impressed with them. Dunedin as a whole was a super stop on our trip and the Otago Peninsula is absolutely fantastic!

Nice park with laundry, well equipped kitchen, and clean bathrooms. We were in unpowered site with small campervan. Reservation system worked fine, and check in was easy. Only complaint would be that for this price, why charge extra for billiards?

Leith Valley Park provided an average stay during my recent visit. The accommodations were decent but didn't particularly stand out. While the surroundings were peaceful, the overall atmosphere lacked a certain charm. The staff was courteous, but the service didn't go above and beyond. It's a reasonable choice if you're looking for a straightforward and functional place to stay, but don't expect any extraordinary experiences.

This was an overall average stay. The location was good close to town and near a small stream. Staff were not very friendly and the camping space was very small, and right next to some car parks, and the common room. It was not noisy though. The toilet and kitchen was outdated.

I most Definitely recommend this location, villas look beautiful and onsite facilities are excellent. We were served by John and he was fantastic and lovely. Great with local knowledge and helping us out.
