An atmospheric and historic building in the central heritage district of Oamaru. The renovations that have been done to meet modern expectations of convenience and comfort have been done with respect to the original. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Facilities are basic but price is quite reasonable and made up for by the character, location and friendly staff of the property. At the time I stayed, it was quiet and parking, although on the street, was not a problem at all.

    Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint museums, Oamaru heritage museum (pay/donate as you wish) and steampunk museum (NZD$15/pax). both were interactive and we enjoyed it with the helpful stuff. the day was a cloudy and rainy so we opted out of visiting the penguins - they have a live youtube stream of the penguins coming home which we watch. We did visit the penguins tour during the day, which was open to public and saw some fur seals relaxing. To watch the penguins coming home, it's NZD$45 per pax, which we thought was a little expensive. + the weather being bad, we decided to watch them online instead.

    We went for the penguins but could have spent another day wandering around the Victorian Precient, Steampunk HQ and lovely shops of Oamaru. Also nice that it is only 30 minutes away from Moeraki Boulders. Riverstone Castle and Kitchen make a great stop too on the way down from Christchurch.

    I love Oamaru for a visit.

    I love Oamaru for a visit. It is a very pretty place to visit with the historic area quite special. There are plenty of great places to eat, excellent shopping and being on the coast it has lovely views of the ocean. The blue penguin experience is well worth doing also. Riverstone restaurant is an absolute must if you enjoy excellent food. Highly recommend a visit there.

    Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean.

    Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean. Stunning historical buildings, vibrant shops filled with goodies, Sunday market brimming with organic produce - vegetables, honey, cheese, soaps, lotions, coffee and yummy treats. No junk - wonderful homemade produce at exceptionally good prices, for example - two cheese rolls and a cup of soup for $9.

    All the rooms were decorated in a different quirky style, as was the lounge area, in keeping with the Steam Punk theme of Oamaru. Our room had a skii theme and our friends room had a farming theme. The hotel location was right in the centre of the town near all the shops. We could park in the supermarket car park next to the hotel. In the evening we visited the penguin colony and saw the little blue penguins jumping out of the sea and scurrying to their burrows.

    This is a quirky B&B close to Oamaru. Roger was a really attentive host, encouraging us to relax and use the space available. He gave some great tips on the location, to see the penguins and local restaurants. Room and bathroom was spotless, but it was so cold we put the electric blanket on! Breakfast was an unexpected bonus. Thankyou!

    The building looks more like a house than a hotel. There were many decorations in the house, especially decirations of penguins, which made it very lovley. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. There was also a massage chair. The accommodation is also very close to all the major attractions in Oamaru.
