The Federation House is a gem! The host is great, the building is historic, and a little quirky but in a good way. The facilities, breakfast and the location are superb. Love it!

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).
We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

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 😀
Oamaru Backpackers is truly a home away from home!!! It’s very homey, comfortable, clean, in a quiet residential area and perfect location to the Blue Penguin Colony, historical area of town and only a few minutes to the wharf! My bed was sooo comfortable & has a privacy curtain! It has a beautiful backyard where one could chill, read a book, eat a meal! The kitchen, dining area, lounge area & solarium are all very clean, spacious & perfect view of the wharf!
The host was super nice. He showed us around the house and even showed us the best view rooms. Top floor middle rooms the best room. Breakfast was included. The bed was really comfy. It's really close to everything that you can walk there. Parking is available on site.
Activities: I recommend the steam punk and a look around the park and sea side. I do not recommend the penguin viewing in Oamaru. Better to go to the one in Dunedin.
Absolutely lovely place to stay - very clean, excellent facilities including a large well provisioned kitchen, very good beds and bed linen, warm with heat pump and wood burner. Very close to town. Very spacious with great dining/lounge area and beautifully presented with art and furniture complementing the home. Excellent host. Thank you Tina - would love to come back to stay when next in Oamaru. Definately 10 out of 10.
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.
I liked the location of The Empire Hotel, it is very close to where my friends live, as well as being close to the Victorian Quarter. The Staff were very pleasant, there is a nice feel/ atmosphere to the place. May I suggest that a couple more tables be put in the parlour, for people to eat at. I liked the Cleanliness too, but not the hard pillow. No problem I will return and will recomend The Empire to others.
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 👍
Beautiful cottage in the heart of Oamaru.
Great location especially if you have a reservation at Cucina.
The accommodation was clean and had everything you could need. Wonderful log burner for a cold night.
I highly recommend this place.
Such a lovely tucked away peaceful cottage that was well equipped with a retro vibe. Fabulous view of Oamaru old buildings and seafront - very near penguin viewing - both at the wharf and the DOC cliff top site.
Our rooms at Midway motel were clean comfortable and very affordable. Host was helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. It's a convenient hotel for visiting the beautiful town of Oamaru. Would stay again.
Great communication beforehand, amazing location for seeing the penguins in town! So much room for a family used to hotels on this trip and having two rooms with couches to relax on was delightful!
The female caretaker was lovely. She allowed me to arrive early due to the fact I had a funeral to attend at 1.30pm. WOuld reccommend this for those business folk that commute to Oamaru.
Clean, comfortable, good shower. Coffee, tea and milk in the fridge. Pretty quiet. very close to the historic district, but not actually in it, but this is a historic hotel.
An old style hotel, bags of character, excellent location. Staff was very helpful. Good breakfast - good value. Very much liked Oamaru - restaurants, art shops, penguins.
You get value for money at this motel! Great for an overnight stay or a few nights to enjoy Oamaru - clean, cheap & cheerful describes what you get - recommended!
I love Oamaru.
