Interesting boutique hotel that occupies an old bank building. The room we had featured one of the original vault doors. Well furnished and comfortable room with excellent and friendly staff! It was too bad we only stayed 1 night.

The room was clean and well-maintained. Although the property is located right beside the road, the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we had a great night's sleep. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing stay.

Was given a room "out the back" of the property which was very private from the rest of the rooms and street. Enjoyed waking up to look out the windows and seeing the alpacas looking at us ! Our stay was quiet and very comfortable.

Peaceful place but near a New World. There is everything we need. Beautiful surrounding. Spacious house. There is a lovely and cozy garret! It's a shame that we stayed only one night and had no time to enjoy it.

Great access to the city center. Check these accommodations in Oamaru and nearby

We enjoyed our stay at heritage hideaway so much! The location is convenient to walk to the precinct area. The host prepared the fire and that’s a bonus for our trip especially we arrived on a cold raining day. The space is nicely decorated with vintage pieces and super cozy at the same time.

Lakeside accommodation and its gardens were so comfortable, inviting, and serene. Very close to town. If we didn't have places to see, it would be easy to just stay all day.

The accomodation was lovely and the view was supburb. Everything that was provided met our needs for the stay. There are quite a few things to see in Oamaru and the hut is close enough and also far away enough to be removed and private with the bonus of the outdoor bath.

With a family of six, it isn't easy to find suitable accommodations. The Midway Motel was affordable, clean, and comfortable. Everyone had a bed and no one had to sleep on the couch!

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 ☺️

For a last minute booking when there was no accomodation left in Oamaru or Dunedin and the cost I wasn’t expecting much. My expectations were hugely exceeded, it was no problem for us to collect the key prior to check in time on our way though to Dunedin, the room was spotless (cleaner than some 5 star accommodation I’ve stayed in) and not dated. To top things off when we got back at 2:30am on a freezing cold night we found the heaters had been turned on in the room something so simple yet so thoughtful. Would 100% recommend!
