This property is absolutely beautiful. We only had time for an overnight stay, but would highly recommend it for a longer stay. There is a steep walk up to the property, but there is just about everywhere in NZ. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and walking distance to the seals and penguins. Great place to stay.

Beautiful, Sweet Cottage

Loved our stay here. It is walking distance to the Victorian Precinct and many shops and cafes. Was very quiet at night. The cottage is so pretty...beautiful wallpaper, art, linen curtains, comfy hotel-style sheets and towels. We had everything we needed and it was very clean. There is even an ocean view from the lounge.

Sunny house in the heart of Oamaru

Excellent stay. The house is only a few minutes walk from the centre of town and ideal for friends travelling together, with two lovely queen bedrooms. Comfy beds. Very spacious, clean and tidy. The deck is a great spot to sit outside.

Visiting Oamaru

Brilliant little house. Beautifully presented with everything we needed. The additional 2nd toilet was brilliant with 2 couples staying. Beds were super comfy and the location to explore the Victorian Quarter was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage

Period cottage close to historic area, nicely decorated, very clean, well-equipped and well kept. A few (minor) negatives - steep gravel driveway (can't walk down in flat bottom shoes), no toiletries (such as shampoo), and the washer/dryer is a combo unit so dryer is not vented and takes forever (fortunately, drying racks provided).
