This property had everything on offer. It was so well thought out. Dawn had really put herself into her guests shoes and thought if every comfort one could possibly want. My family only had one night but we had such a happy stay, especially compared to places we have stayed in on our onward travel. We couldn’t believe just how spacious the house was upstairs. The bathroom was new and beds very comfortable. We would definitely recommend others to stay here. Thank you Dawn, you were an amazing host.

The little personal touches and general attention to detail add to the lovely ambience. Great location and on-site parking - everything the town has to offer is within walking distance. Can highly recommend! Thank you for a very pleasant stay :-]

A luxury bed & breakfast experience awaits you in our historic Oamaru stone mansion. The first stone dwelling to be built in the district in 1861, it is yours to enjoy with elegantly appointed guest rooms, sea views and private surrounds.

The owners were exceptionally friendly & restaurant staff were great. Bedroom & facilities were awesome - every detail was thought of & included - shower was brilliant & lighting in the wall. Loved the artwork in the breakfast room upstairs!!

A large room with a view! Our room was upstairs and had a great view toward town and the ocean. Carol our host, made sure we were comfortable. And as well, ensured we started each day with a hearty breakfast. The location is ideal - only a 7 or 8 minute walk to the heritage area. Highly recommended.

    Quirky accommodation with excellent breakfast provided. Lovely friendly host and very convenient for the town and seeing the blue penguins. Lots of hot water for showers. Being an old house, en- suites are a bonus. Clean bedding and off road parking. Lots of old pictures and ornaments around the house so if you need clean lines and minimalistic b and b's this wouldn't suit you. But if you like character, then this may be a place for you. Some musty smell from all the wood in this house to be expected.

    Everything! We had a very large and luxe delightful room and ensuite with all the comforts required in a private and quiet part of this beautiful home. Even better were the two hosts - they made us feel special and looked after us so well for which we are immensely grateful and already cherish our memories there. From a very generous breakfast served to the dining table, to advice on local activities and roads to take on travels, the couple were the perfect people to run a B and B- thank you! Oh, and the home bake served daily was amazing!
