Simple but very clean, with a strong feel of a bar and hotel. If you want to have a meal in their restaurant, it's best to make a reservation in advance. The staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. The public laundry room is very advanced.

Staying at this dome-shaped accommodation was an unforgettable experience. The host was incredibly kind and understanding — I even accidentally broke an item, and they handled it with so much patience and warmth, which I truly appreciated. The location is amazing, tucked away in nature, making it perfect for relaxation and healing. If the weather had been clear, I’m sure the night sky would have been full of stars. Unfortunately, it rained during my stay, so I didn’t get to enjoy the stars, but the stay was still incredibly satisfying. There are plenty of nearby activities and lots of animals around, adding to the charm. The kitchen facilities were well-equipped, allowing me to cook and enjoy meals without any issues. The room was clean, cozy, and warm, making the overall stay very comfortable. Every moment was enjoyable, and I was deeply impressed by the host’s thoughtful and friendly care.

Easy to find as on the Highway. Easy access to Oamaru which was a very interesting place and well worth exploring. Greeting on reception was lovely, the free milk was a nice touch, the bed and unit were very comfortable and with a lounge with double bed, another bedroom with double bed, kitchen area, sofa and dining table, what more could you want? Don’t be put off by the exterior - it looks basic and functional from outside but it is well decorated and furnished inside.

Easy self walking tour around the old town with plenty of eating out/ shopping options in main street of town as well. Appears to be a safe quiet town in which to wander about day/evening. Friendly staff at Scott’s waterfront brewery offering excellent pizzas and selection of wines/beers.

Hampden is a great place to visit.

Hampden is a great place to visit. We love the Moeraki Boulders. The Moeraki Tavern is a must for Fish and Chips and the lamb shanks were to die for. Vanessa's Cafe was lovely for breakfast and has a great selection of pies and muffins and everything else. The Moeraki Cafe and Gift Shop has one of the best gift shops I've seen in New Zealand for neat and meaningful souvenirs.

We wanted to take a shorter loop from Dunedin via Oamaru Timaru and Lake Tekapo back to Oamaru and Dunedin. First time from Omarama, by Lake Benmore.route, so Kurow was a convenient overnight stop to get back to Dundein before midday. A good road all the way, but Kurow is not a destination.

I loved the remoteness of the Lavender Farm.

I loved the remoteness of the Lavender Farm. Take a good lot of supplies with you, everything you would need for yourself, apart from toiletries and tea/coffee and breakfast. You don’t want to be leaving the Dome once you arrive as it is too special an area, to miss out by going into Naseby for the evening, or elsewhere. Road is unmade so drive carefully.

The beach ( Campbells Bay) was just stunning for walking and a quick dip. Very sheltered. Loved chatting to the locals at the market, the dairy and the owners of Kakanui Tomatoes. All so incredibly friendly . We took our bikes which was great for looking around because the town is quite spread out . We are coming back

Our visit was short, but the old downtown area (Whitestone City) was a great place to explore. The nearby park was fun, and the penguins were also nearby. We stopped at several overlooks on our way to Ōamaru from Dunedin (lots of seals/sea lions!), and Elephant Rocks were just 30 minutes away.
