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.

Very convenient location to the Blue penguin colony (just a short drive away). Hotel room was quiet despite very busy (by New Zealand standards) street out front. Clean, good sized rooms

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.

Liked all amenities and comfort. Great for a one night visit with pet dog. The yard is rather sterile , some flowers in pots would improve the setting. Will definitely stay again.
