The no hassle country location and being able to take our dog. Everything was comfy.

Verna New Zealand

Great wee place. Very very clean. Staff were pleasant and gave me a good tip re seeing the seals at moeraki - lighthouse road. Units are dated in their decor but a throw back to my childhood and my first flat so loved it. Everything you could want and comfortable bed. All in all for $94 a good nights stay.

We really enjoyed everything about our stay here. The location was ideal for exploring Oamaru and the surrounding area. The room was clean, warm, comfortable and an added bonus was that we could have our dog with us! Thank you so much for a great stay, we’ll be back!
