Big space in a great location
The host Lauren seemed lovely when I spoke to her on the phone, the house was clean and very comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a comfy stay. Also the location would have to be the best in Oamaru with stunning views of the harbor and walking distance to the best attractions.
