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?

The bed was amazing. Just right after hip replacement surgery. Shower pressure a real pleasure.

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).

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.

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 US

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 backpackers was 100% the nicest place I’ve stayed in New Zealand.
It was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished and welcoming. The lounge areas were warm, clean and cosy and it genuinely felt like a home away from home. This property is an absolute credit to the owners for the care and attention to detail they put into the place. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. Thank you!
Also loved the way the beds were made and the cute penguin theme ☺️
Absolutely stunning historic home! I had a very comfortable historic room with a beautiful modern ensuite. The room had a fridge, toaster, french press, and kettle with teas, coffee, sugar, and milk provided. Breakfast was simple and delicious, beautifully presented and delivered to your room. Keri is a wonderful host. If you ask, she will provide some of the history of the home and Oamaru. Wonderful stay!
we had an apartment with a separate entry and it was awesome. The character of the place was great, having kept the vault door in the bedroom made it really unique. The decor in the lobby and the historical artefacts of Oamaru was really interesting. The breakfast concept also suited us very well. All in all, it’s a very well designed boutique hotel with very nice and attentive staff. Definitely worth the stop.
This residence is fabulous facing the sea and surrounded with green plants; the inside of the residence offers all the facilities like a five-star hotel and looks artistic and neat; the owner is caring, loving and considerate; when I arrived it was raining and wet, she offered pickup and sendoff from and to the InterCity bus stop; No.1 choice when you have a chance to visit Aoruma!
The layout was lovely and social. Cosy and welcoming. Beautiful gardens so close to the beach. Shame only spent one night would have loved to have spent more time there. Well equipped kitchen and great decor. Very clean and organized slept like a log. Loved Oamaru too quirky art galleries right up my street. With good selection of restaurants 10 mins away. All good 👍
YS 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. Thanks
interesting and unusual hotel - attention to detail was impressive- overall feel was one of luxury. The attention to detail in the room was really good and we felt welcome from the moment we turned up. Breakfast was a casual affair but we’ll set out and good continental choices.
Excellent service, we had late check in and they accommodated for that. Staff were absolutely amazing. Facilities cleaned daily, cleanest motel i’ve ever been in. Lovely room with a great layout. Will recommend to anyone staying in Oamaru! Thanks for having us
Everything was very good. It is on the main street of Oamaru but we were not disturbed by noise. The bed was very comfortable and the unit had good facilities. It was very good value for money. The host was very friendly and communicative.
Great room in a lovely clean well-maintained historic backpackers in a great location at the centre of Oamaru. Kitchens and bathrooms all clean and good secure space in basement for bikes. And run by lovely friendly people.
The hotel was in the centre of a very historic and lovely town. Close to the Stones Brewery at the end of the street near the Steam Punk building. Oamaru is a lovely town with some amazing architecture.
We own 2 rentals in Oamaru. Purpose of visit was to carry out maintenance and to catch up with people I know. The motel was very close to both properties an easy walk to town and reasonable in cost.
Such a peaceful retreat after two weeks of hotel after hotel! We wish we'd been able to stay longer to unwind and to explore the farm and chapel and to learn more about the history of the place!
Beautiful clean motel. Friendly staff. Loved the huge bed. Attention to detail with the cleanliness was lovely. Although on the main road it was very guiet. We will be back 🙂AAA+++
The house was absolutely gorgeous and Dawn was a wonderful host, breakfast was a continental breakfast and was absolutely delicious. I can't wait for our next stay in Oamaru!
The Manager of the motel!
Very friendly and courteous and very helpful.
The room was above expectations and at a very competitive rate, we both really enjoyed our stay here
Spacious basement flat with private access and parking. Friendly host. Very handy location with easy walk to Oamaru's Victorian precinct. Great views over the harbour
To Dunedin and Timaru 1 hour 30 mins. Free blue penguin viewing at Timaru after dark and before dawn. Close to pay to view blue penguin for NZD 40 at Oamaru.
