Looking for penthouse privacy with space to truly unwind? The Chamberson’s 100 m² Rooftop Loft—also known as The Loft and the Rooftop Penthouse—delivers open‑plan luxury, an exclusive rooftop terrace with panoramic Dunedin views, and thoughtful policies that keep your stay serene. In this guide, you’ll discover what makes this one‑of‑a‑kind penthouse stand apart from the hotel’s other 22 accommodations, how its privacy is protected, and the practical details to plan a seamless stay.

What “Penthouse Privacy” Means at The Chamberson

At The Chamberson, penthouse privacy is more than just elevated views. It’s a purposefully calm environment supported by design, security, and house rules.

• Exclusive outdoor space: The 100 m² Rooftop Penthouse includes a private rooftop terrace with unparalleled, panoramic views of Dunedin’s great landmarks.
• No‑party policy: Parties are not permitted indoors or outdoors at any time. Loud music is prohibited, protecting the quiet for everyone.
• Age safeguards: The Rooftop Penthouse cannot accommodate children under 15—ideal for guests seeking a tranquil, grown‑up setting.
• Controlled building access: Front doors and car‑park gates are unlocked from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM; outside these hours, guests use a personal entry code or room keycard for access.
• 24/7 on‑site presence and CCTV: A staff member is on‑site around the clock, and CCTV monitors all public areas. The secure underground car park has comprehensive CCTV, monitored in real time.

Together, these measures create a penthouse experience that feels private, safe, and refreshingly peaceful—day and night.

Inside The Loft: 100 m² of Open‑Plan Living

The Rooftop Penthouse is designed for indulgent, uncluttered living.

• Open‑plan lounge: Settle into two generous sofas and two lounge chairs. A 75‑inch Smart TV anchors the living area for movie nights and streaming.
• Designer kitchen: A full kitchen with a breakfast bar and a dedicated dining area makes in‑suite meals effortless—whether it’s morning coffee or a locally sourced dinner.
• Sleep and soak: Sleep on a king bed and unwind in the gorgeous bathtub right next to the bed. There’s also a separate modern bathroom with a walk‑in shower.
• Climate and comfort: The penthouse features individually controlled air‑conditioning for heating and cooling, while the bathroom includes under‑floor heating—a welcome luxury on cooler Dunedin days.
• Sleep‑ready details: Blackout curtains and bedside power outlets/USB‑friendly access support great rest and easy device charging.
• Everyday essentials: You’ll find complimentary bottled water and a hair dryer in‑room, with daily housekeeping to refresh the space.

The result is a private loft that feels expansive and effortless—equally suited to slow mornings, long dinners, and quiet evenings.
