The attention to detail, the cozy lighting and the decorative items. Everything is well thought out.

Dewi New Zealand

Fantastic to see a Heritage building so tastefully renovated into a great place to stay. Very classy and comfortable with all the modern amenities.

Brendan New Zealand

Great location - CBD in walking distance easily. Great decorating. Fabulous style for old time theme.

Gaye New Zealand

Everything with this property is amazing ..a unique boutique experience.

Chirag New Zealand

Loved the style of the decor in this old building, loved there is a two bedroom option each with own bathroom, loved the location in Tees Street, very easy to walk to cafes, restaurants, get a coffee, look around the Victorian Precinct etc. Loved the building's restoration, very good off street parking and inside it has all you need, you feel you are in a comfy stylish home. The Whitestone cheese and crackers and personal note on arrival was a lovely touch.

Amanda New Zealand

We had a great stay in this beautifully restored, heritage building. The décor and facilities were fabulous. Katrina, the host, was quick to respond and helpful.

Megan New Zealand

excellent location and very comfortable and stylish

Mark New Zealand

Location was excellent. Interior design faultless.

Stephen New Zealand

No I didn't receive an email telling me the code, luckily the check person popped by, the TV didn't work the remote batteries or the remote was not working but we went out so it didn't affect us.

Fiona New Zealand

The Old Confectionery was a wonderful find. A beautiful heritage building decorated to suit the elegance and tradition yet with a modern twist and luxurious feel. We couldn’t believe our luck and wished we could have stayed longer than the one night we allowed in Oamaru. Katrina was excellent to communicate with. The apartment is well stocked with kitchenware, spotlessly clean and the beds and linen are amazing. Location is excellent and walking distance to everywhere. When we arrived there was a gift of local cheese and crackers with a note to welcome us. You will not be disappointed in this accommodation and we hope to stay again the future.

Katrina Menzies

The Old Confectionery is a lovingly restored heritage building in the center of Oamaru; close to the penguins, historic precinct and all shops and restaurants. It has been furnished to a very high standard with quality furniture and bedding, bespoke lighting and fully equipped laundry and kitchen facilities. Walk out of the front door and within a minute or two you can be at the beach in the harbour, walking down the historic streets of the old town or in a local cafe or restaurant. Careful attention to detail has resulted in two stunning apartments available separately or together if a group booking is required. If you like to be inspired by interior design and comfortable surroundings, come and visit us at the Old Confectionery. Your photographs will catch the interest of your friends and family. Off street parking and lock up parking for bicycles with exterior security cameras and lighting make it a relaxing, luxurious place to stay.

Welcome to our beautiful, unique building in the center of Oamaru. We have spent three years restoring this old building to high levels of modern comfort and safety. We want our guests to feel welcome and relaxed and use the building as they wish. This may be to cook a family meal or prepare to go out in our beautifully appointed bedrooms and bathrooms. Soak up the ambiance of luxurious surroundings with the convenience of all Oamaru has to offer at your fingertips.

Centrally located, you can walk out the door of our building and find all the attractions of Oamaru on your doorstep. Wander down to the local brewery for lunch and look out over the harbour. Wander down the history soaked streets of the old precinct. Pop into the local shops which offer beautiful, locally and internationally made goods. Take a short drive to a winery, walk to the whisky distillery or wander round natural landmarks like the Elephant Rocks or Moeraki Boulders. There are many local producers in the area - so you can take your pick at the Farmers Market located 200m away that opens every Sunday. There are plenty of natural attractions too, go seal and penguin spotting in the harbour or walk the Coastal Track for a breath of fresh air. Wherever your interests lie, Oamaru has plenty to offer.
