Great location in the heart of town. With a friendly welcome we were directed to our rooms with each one having a different theme. The rooms were decorated with collections of unusual historical items - fishing, skiing, farming, musical etc. Rooms are very comfortable, large and well appointed. Bonus continental breakfast supplied and great shower.

Such a cool and classy place to stay. Perfect location, super-clean and comfortable. So much interesting stuff to see both in the room and the shared areas before even leaving the hotel. Not to mention a very warm welcome by the hosts. Thank you so much, we'll be back for sure.

Beautifully appointed. Incredibly helpful staff and a great breakfast. The rooms were clean and warm and spacious and the amenities are super high quality. Easy parking and right in the centre of town. I don’t know why anyone would stay elsewhere! Would highly recommend.

Lovely hotel experience. The design is full of personality and the rooms are super comfortable. There is free parking on the street or in the countdown parking lot. The free continental breakfast was delicious and the hostess was really kind and had lots of tips and suggestions of things to do around Oamaru. Highly recommend!

Located on the main street of Oamaru, within reasonable walking distance of the historic area of Oamaru and local pubs. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, but the room was a bit noisy until around midnight, after which it got quiet. The in-room fridge was also very noisy, so we turned it off! The shower had good water pressure. Continental breakfast was included in the room rate - yoghurt, cereals, toast and condiments. There's a steampunk flavour to the decor, which is a nice touch. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We would probably stay again.
