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.

Omarama Treasure
This would be one of the best places we have stayed in, beautifully set up and a real home away from home. Katrina and Neville were excellent hosts informing us about the area and suggesting a number of places to visit in this special part of NZ. We do so hope that we can return and strongly suggest that a stay of more than one night would be a positive idea.

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).

Brilliant location
This wee cottage is perfectly situated for the historic part of Oamaru. We were able to park up at the house and walk everywhere during the Heritage Festival. The drive is steep, but quite short. The views over the harbour to the ocean are lovely and one morning were were treated to a fantastic sunrise. The house is clean and well equiped. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

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.
