Perfect for a 1 night stay in Oamaru, passing through on the way to Dunedin and to see the Little Blue Penguins. Upon checkin the young man working at reception was polite and helpful. The room and other facilities were meticulously clean, well equipped, dry and warm.

Great for us staying one night in transit. A little out of town so walking into town is not an option, but otherwise a great place to stay.

The property was great except for the parking. Not enough. We had to park at the opposite end to where our room was when we came back last night. No where to park. Only downside. Everything else was pretty good.

Great Motel, But.
First of all we are a family of 5 on a road trip around the South Island. Check into the 2 bedroom suite was quick and staff polite. On first inspection the rooms were clean, well appointed and all cooking needs available. The beds were soft to medium, perfect for me. One problem during the 5th shower we ran out of hot water. Maybe our fault but after freezing at the penguin show we all looked forward to a hot shower. This is the only reason I didn’t give the room a 5 ⭐️ rating. Again this shouldn’t deter anyone from booking here as the room was overall great.

A nice choice in Oamaru
A great place to stay when in Oamaru. A simple tidy and clean unit. No frills but everything you need and it has a modern vibe. Only wish - for business traveler please get rid of those awful mini ironing boards. Have you ever tried ironing a business shirt on them? Otherwise a great stay.
