Sea front cottage like those in the design magazine. The owners made it for you the way how it would be for them. We could easily stay there a week or two just chill in Oamaru. We are seriously thinking of that next year, a place that truly make your holiday worthwhile.

My daughter & I decided to stay overnight at Oamaru before continuing our road trip to Christchurch. We got the ground floor 2-bedrooms unit of this restored heritage building. The parking is just outside the main door, so convenient for us. There was another unit upstairs via the staircase at the side The place is a treasure! It looks like a remnant of time past by yet the interior is stunningly decorated (those amazing chandeliers for central lighting) & furniture feels so richly luxurious. I love the unit layout & each bedroom is ensuite. The kitchen has everything you need for simple cooking. After days of travelling, we needed laundry facility. The shared laundry is locked, just steps away behind the building. We called Katrina to get the access code & she promptly picked up the call. Both washing machine & dryer were easy to use. Cool! Bathrooms are spotlessly clean. Rooms have heaters that we appreciated as we were still not used to the cold'ish summer weather..

    Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint museums, Oamaru heritage museum (pay/donate as you wish) and steampunk museum (NZD$15/pax). both were interactive and we enjoyed it with the helpful stuff. the day was a cloudy and rainy so we opted out of visiting the penguins - they have a live youtube stream of the penguins coming home which we watch. We did visit the penguins tour during the day, which was open to public and saw some fur seals relaxing. To watch the penguins coming home, it's NZD$45 per pax, which we thought was a little expensive. + the weather being bad, we decided to watch them online instead.

    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.

    Thanks to the hospitable and friendly staff it's been for me the very best accommodation in New Zealand. I was very greatful to them even for not being so strict with checking out times, free left luggage room and so on. And Oamaru itself - you must visit the town to understand the atmosphere. Would love to come once again.

    Perfect location. Handy to everything as long as you have transport. Nice room. We had a view of the hill behind Oamaru so the afternoon sun streamed in keeping it warm during the day. VERY good price for a holiday weekend. We wanted to come back but it was booked out. Highly recommend this motel.
