Little Red School House
21 Turnbulls Road Five Forks, 9491 Oamaru, New Zealand – Excellent location - show map
This was a fantastic little property in its own grounds. It was perfect for the one night we stayed but it would be equally great as the base for a longer stay. We were independent and yet supported. We recommend unreservedly.
