Graham was a fantastic host & gave us plenty of information on what to do locally. Our room was really lovely although my kids tell me I need to book the bunk bed room next time as it looked so cool! We will definitely be back! Superb location & view. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
New ZealandThe 4 bed dorm each bed had a light, outlet to charge, and a curtain to close off the bed all very nice. The kitchen was clean and well equipped and bathrooms were good. Jenn greeted me with a smile and was very helpful. The problem is on the edge of a quiet residential street and easy to walk down to the shore.
United States of AmericaThe location was very good for visiting the Victorian Precinct or trying to view the penguins as well as getting to the main town part. The place had a homely feel and was well appointed. The host was friendly and a breakfast was provided in the morning.
New ZealandVery clean, individual bunks with curtains, breakfast, reasonably priced laundry, lovely owner, vegetable and salad patch, washing line, convenient location. One of my favourite in NZ.
United KingdomClean, comfortable, efficient, great location and surprisingly nice. Friendly and hard-working staff.
United States of AmericaI loved the garden produce available to guests. And the bunks were very cute, cozy, and comfortable.
New ZealandThe staffs were so hospitable; they will tell you the hot spots in town. Oamaru is an amazing town with its old culture being preserved at this time.
New ZealandHome-like environment Amazing view from Steampunk Room Awesome sunrise!! Friendly helpful staff Free breakfast Exceptionally clean Walking distance to everything
CanadaDidnt have breakfast so cant comment. Handy location and easy to find. Friendly staff and enjoyed the view over the harbour.
New ZealandIt’s super close to everything; Steampunk HQ is about 5-10 min walk and the penguins maybe 15 min. The view is great, there’s free parking on the street and the rooms are nice. Free veges from the garden and breakfast.
