Very interesting and quaint decor! Definitely a creative and postmodern perspective on incorporating the history of the building and town into the design.

The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem.
The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others). We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

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 😀

- From £74.80 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 942 reviewsWe were delighted when we stepped into the room. It was very, very nice. Everything was well maintained and very clean. The beds were comfortable. There were 3 extra pillows, extra blanket, iron and ironing board, lots of hangers, hair dryer and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, cups, pans etc. There was a lot of room for our family of 4 adults. The motel staff / owner was very friendly and very accommodating. We would definitely stay there again the next time we are in Oamaru.mcivorNew Zealand
- From £72.38 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 488 reviewsI didn’t end up staying at this place. once I arrived and saw the condition of the yard and inside the house, I left. I understand this is a “value” meaning low price property (although I’ve stayed at really nice B&B’s for $60 US in New Zealand)but it is a dump. Red flags went up immediately meeting Roger and I decided not to stay. Didn’t even matter that I couldn’t get a refund. He did offer to give me a 50%refund if I returned to the house which I didn’t feel comfortable doing.

MartaItaly - From £65.15 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 914 reviewsI was given a nice quiet upstairs room. Lovely staff. Very nice room service breakfast. We also enjoyed a nice dinner in the restaurant. I would happily stay there again next time I am judging in the Horse section at the North Otago A&P show, which was literally just a 2 min drive from the motel on Ettrick St, Oamaru. I do hope this motel survives the covid down turn …..they deserve to succeed. Thank you. Celia ShrimptonCCeliaNew Zealand
