He said only a handful of tickets were left for the All Blacks and England test on July 6 and Forsyth Barr Stadium would be packed.
He expected the match to have an economic impact upwards of $12 million for the city.
However, in his 10 years working at the stadium, accommodation had been a problem every time Dunedin hosted a major event, he said.
"The reality is whenever we bring a test match or concert every room goes."
Mr Davies said he would love to see more accommodation in Dunedin because it was inconvenient for travellers, who sometimes had to resort to finding places to stay outside Dunedin.
"Any lever you could pull, whether it’s accommodation or access to the town, it would help us."
He said the conversation for a hotel near the stadium was still rolling and he had his fingers crossed for a positive outcome.
He was happy that a Dunedin test had become a fairly regular fixture for the All Blacks and the sector was looking forward to it.
"It’s nice to have a big event. It gets the town buzzing a little bit."
Mr Firns said hospitality staff had become used to the rush and were ready for the guests.
"Twenty thousand people coming to the city puts the pressure on, but we as staff get on with it and it’s business as usual to deal with that type of issue."
Enterprise Dunedin manager John Christie said the match would be the fourth test held in Dunedin since the Covid-19 pandemic and the city had managed to accommodate people in the past despite the loss of some commercial and private homestay accommodations during that time.
His advice was to contact i-Site staff, who would put people on the list for those looking for accommodation.
