We stayed at the Studholme Hotel with our children. Each bedroom has William Morris wallpaper, period furnishings and rural views. It is a lovely place to stay and we will definitely come again when we are going to Timaru as it isn't far away.

We were travelling through here on a private train trip. The train stopped and we all wandered over to the Hotel for a drink. What fun. A lovely place to enjoy a meal and a drink.

A well kept, clean Hotel. Interesting photo's to peruse and a nice beer to be had. It's hidden off the main road, but worth the very short detour.

A friend told me about this nicely renovated historic hotel, just 2 minutes off the main road between Oamaru and Timaru, that we should check out. Glad we did because we found a hidden gem. The place reeks local history with photos on the walls. The blue cod was fantastic. Service was very friendly and hospitable. Clean restrooms. Plenty of parking. Looked like a nice place to stay for a night as well.
