"Great cabin/farm style stay. Incredibly cozy, even in the cold and snowy weather we got. Cabin was furnished with everything we needed, kitchen was very nice, shower was great for temperature and pressure, and the spa was an absolute joy to use in the snow! The owners are also a delight - very thoughtful and helpful. Can not recommend this place enough for a high country getaway!"

What a great place to stay. It’s been overhauled in the last couple of years so everything is pretty new. Someone put a lot of thought into what to put into each unit. Very spacious. Very clean. Great staff!

This was an absolutely delightful place to stay. Spectaculary renovated property with a completely unique, fabulous style. Every comfort considered, breakfasts that were beyond, and pastry chef treats with your evening tea. Katrina and Brenda are warm, gracious hosts who make you feel like welcome friends. We are so happy we were able to enjoy their outstanding hospitality and excellent tips for what to do in the area. A total delight!

Steampunk character of the hotel was very cool & fun - from the unusual elevator to the lobby & room decor. The staff was very friendly & helpful. The room was comfortable with very high ceilings. Overall, very enjoyable stay.

We were tired from traveling for several days and wanted a nice place to rest for the night. The Oamaru Motor Lodge was perfect. It was spacious, had a comfortable king-sized bed, and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The icing on the cake was the big jetted tub we enjoyed together. The studio was so nice, we could have stayed a week or more.
The hotel clerk was a very friendly man. The check-in process was nothing--literally. He got everything he needed from Expedia...

The room was spacious, with good light coming in. The bathroom was also generously big and very clean. It had an electric hot plate/stove and came with cups, plates, silverware, and microwave.
Parking is on the property. The property itself is close to the beach and main attractions of the town. It is a great value place.

Wonderful historic building that was once a girl's boarding school. Very quiet location with great walking areas on the property. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious chocolates also made on the property. Would highly recommend.
