A very friendly, welcoming young lady greeted me on arrival. The room was lovely, large, and very clean. Comfortable bed.
Loved the location - it was in a very tranquil setting. May not suit everyone as you need transport to drive to restaurants and shops. I stocked up in Oamaru before my stay. A very restful place to chill out. Take some reading material with you. TV reception?

Oamaru is a vibrant little town with a lot activities plus the the little penguins getting around is very easy , I go often to Oamaru to visit friends eat at the start and garter, the theatre and art scene is nice.MartineNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride. There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage. Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.Parry - 8.0Scored 8.0

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore. The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the USLesleyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀

This is a hidden gem of a town with unique stone architecture and history. I am biased because I worked here for two months years ago. Be sure to visit the garden and use the pool facilities if you have the time. And to top it off it is close to the Moreike Boulders... a must see.MarkUnited States

- 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 216 reviewsNeeded to stay the night en route back from Pink concert in Dunedin. Arrived in Oamaru at 1.30am, tired and ready for bed! Opened the door and voila! We were greeted by the warmth of the heat pumps, lights were on ready for us, and the decor was simply beautiful. We fell into the gorgeously presented beds and all - 2 adults and 3 young ones, -and all slept like logs. I feel like making an excuse to go to Oamaru again just to stay there, and have time to really enjoy the harbour views and generous outdoor living area!
JulieNew Zealand - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 486 reviewsRoger the host was very welcoming and had provided everything we needed for our comforts. The bed we slept in was the most comfortable of anywhere we have stayed. It was a bonus to be able to chat with other guests in the dining room, something you don't get in motels or hotels. Great view too. There was the initial shock of our surroundings as it is a house full of incredible stuff but it was more interesting than off putting. An experience we will remember for a long time.DeniseNew Zealand

The two women we dealt with could not have been nicer and our ski themed room was huge and comfortable. It had a living area with a huge TV and comfy leather sofa. The bedroom also had a TV. The town is so much fun who has time for TV! Breakfast was amazing as well - plenty to choose from in a lovely huge room.SusanUnited States
- 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 361 reviewsWe ended our A2O cycling trail in this beautiful Oamaru Stone Building. Luxury boutique accomodation was a really pleasure to stay here with our group of 8 people. Everyone was blown away with the interior design of each room and the high spec features of kitchen and bathroom facilities. A real credit to its owners. Don't hesitate to book here its exceptional.
WendyNew Zealand - 7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 934 reviewsYS We were upgraded and it was a large airy room, with access to a courtyard behind the room. Lovely looking motor lodge, with a manned reception which made everything easy. Staff were great, comfortable beds and very clean and fresh. A little way out of town, but only if you want to walk to town. Quiet and we would stay here again. ThanksMichelleAustralia

Slept great on comfortable bed. While nothing jumps out about the motel it delivered more than expected! Also Oamuru turned out to be the hidden gem of our trip! Super interesting town!
RicardaCanada - From £105.37 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 27 reviewsThis was such a fantastic place to stay in Oamaru. The location could not have been better — right in the middle of Old Town, but tucked off the street which meant there was no noise. The place was wonderfully decorated and had everything you could need, and the fire was a nice touch. Highly recommend.SjaanNew Zealand

It’s only a 5 minute drive into the heart of Oamaru so you’re well away from late night noise.
