    We went for the penguins but could have spent another day wandering around the Victorian Precient, Steampunk HQ and lovely shops of Oamaru. Also nice that it is only 30 minutes away from Moeraki Boulders. Riverstone Castle and Kitchen make a great stop too on the way down from Christchurch.

    I love Oamaru for a visit.

    I love Oamaru for a visit. It is a very pretty place to visit with the historic area quite special. There are plenty of great places to eat, excellent shopping and being on the coast it has lovely views of the ocean. The blue penguin experience is well worth doing also. Riverstone restaurant is an absolute must if you enjoy excellent food. Highly recommend a visit there.

    Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean.

    Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean. Stunning historical buildings, vibrant shops filled with goodies, Sunday market brimming with organic produce - vegetables, honey, cheese, soaps, lotions, coffee and yummy treats. No junk - wonderful homemade produce at exceptionally good prices, for example - two cheese rolls and a cup of soup for $9.

    A very budget-friendly stay right in the heart of Oamaru, in a quirky old heritage building. Comfortable bed, two well-stocked kitchens, and a nice lounge with fireplace. It's also very close to the historic precinct, cafes, shops etc. Free parking down the alleyway and behind the building, or paid parking on the street.

    Conveniently located motel, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are very large, so it’s nice to spread out a bit. Also, they give you real milk for your tea and coffee - very exciting! The location is very convenient for the historic centre of Oamaru. Just a short walk/drive down the road.

    Clean tidy well presented room and friendly owners at reception. The facilities in the room were excellent. The door into the room was a little sticky to get open, probably because of the heavy rain..Otherwise would recommend to anyone wanting a good motel in Oamaru.
