A very friendly, welcoming young lady greeted me on arrival. The room was lovely, large, and very clean. Comfortable bed.
Loved the location - it was in a very tranquil setting. May not suit everyone as you need transport to drive to restaurants and shops. I stocked up in Oamaru before my stay. A very restful place to chill out. Take some reading material with you. TV reception?

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride.
There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage.
Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore.
The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the US

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀

This is a hidden gem of a town with unique stone architecture and history. I am biased because I worked here for two months years ago. Be sure to visit the garden and use the pool facilities if you have the time. And to top it off it is close to the Moreike Boulders... a must see.
Beautifully situated in the Oamaru countryside with a great view from the door. The hut has a double bed, small table, sink, two ring hob and toaster and is more than sufficient for a few nights stay. The bathroom area has a shower, basin and a bamboo composting toilet which was absolutely fine with no smells at all. The owner provides alpaca food to feed the 3 alpacas and 2 sheep nearby to the hut. Overall our stay was excellent with a friendly, efficient owner, a pleasant hut with a great view. 5 out of 5 for our stay.
Oamaru Backpackers is truly a home away from home!!! It’s very homey, comfortable, clean, in a quiet residential area and perfect location to the Blue Penguin Colony, historical area of town and only a few minutes to the wharf! My bed was sooo comfortable & has a privacy curtain! It has a beautiful backyard where one could chill, read a book, eat a meal! The kitchen, dining area, lounge area & solarium are all very clean, spacious & perfect view of the wharf!
Absolutely stunning historic home! I had a very comfortable historic room with a beautiful modern ensuite. The room had a fridge, toaster, french press, and kettle with teas, coffee, sugar, and milk provided. Breakfast was simple and delicious, beautifully presented and delivered to your room. Keri is a wonderful host. If you ask, she will provide some of the history of the home and Oamaru. Wonderful stay!
we had an apartment with a separate entry and it was awesome. The character of the place was great, having kept the vault door in the bedroom made it really unique. The decor in the lobby and the historical artefacts of Oamaru was really interesting. The breakfast concept also suited us very well. All in all, it’s a very well designed boutique hotel with very nice and attentive staff. Definitely worth the stop.
The hotel was equal distance between Kakanui Beach and Oamaru, which was perfect for us. The rooms were nice and big for us and our 3 children, and the beds comfy. Kids enjoyed exploring the extensive grounds and abandoned old parts of the old school. Pet friendly too, which meant our dog could come was a big bonus.
The layout was perfect for our family with separate bedroom and living room sleeping area. Easy and friendly check in. Slept great on comfortable bed. While nothing jumps out about the motel it delivered more than expected! Also Oamuru turned out to be the hidden gem of our trip! Super interesting town!
It’s a super cute little motel with updated rooms and modern amenities. I would happily stay again. It’s only a 5 minute drive into the heart of Oamaru so you’re well away from late night noise. I was travelling alone this time but would stay here with my family and the staff are so friendly.
Excellent service, we had late check in and they accommodated for that. Staff were absolutely amazing. Facilities cleaned daily, cleanest motel i’ve ever been in. Lovely room with a great layout. Will recommend to anyone staying in Oamaru! Thanks for having us
Oamaru Top 10 is located on a busier street, but sandwiched within the lovely Oamaru Public Garden with a lovely walk toward the CBD out your door. Facilities were sparkling clean. Hardworking staff. Our En Suite Unit had a magnificent shower.
Everything.This is a farm stay cabin so it’s not a 5 star hotel but that’s not the idea. Delightful to be in the country but really just up the hill from Oamaru. Beautiful garden, highland cattle and alpacas to feed. Wonderful owners.
Great room in a lovely clean well-maintained historic backpackers in a great location at the centre of Oamaru. Kitchens and bathrooms all clean and good secure space in basement for bikes. And run by lovely friendly people.
Tiny house on the rise with a fantastic view over the port and bay of Oamaru. Also view down to the historic precinct which is within walking distance . might be small, but comfortable with everything one might need.
The hotel was in the centre of a very historic and lovely town. Close to the Stones Brewery at the end of the street near the Steam Punk building. Oamaru is a lovely town with some amazing architecture.
Gorgeous heritage house. Beautifully comfortable room. Loved all the special little touches and attention to detail. Jacqui was a fabulous host and would highly recommend staying here when visiting Oamaru
The property was a beautifully renovated villa. The staff were very friendly and provided a continental breakfast in the morning in the dining room with views out over Oamaru and the bay.
The Villa is an amazing Victorian house nestled in the middle of Oamaru. The house is comfortable and everything you need to make it a home away from home is provided.
Easy to find (peppermint green), close to Oamaru town center, and a cosy cottage with charming furnishings. Definitely would stay here on a future visit to Oamaru.
To Dunedin and Timaru 1 hour 30 mins. Free blue penguin viewing at Timaru after dark and before dawn. Close to pay to view blue penguin for NZD 40 at Oamaru.
