Awesome place to stay
This is a beautiful property. Rooms are very spacious and incredibly well appointed. The entire property is very clean. Owner and manager clearly care.
We had a great one night stay here. Had it not been for the ongoing party across the street this would have been an excellent stay, but that is no fault of the property. Would certainly stay here again!

Surprisingly clean, convenient, and comfortable. We found it easy to park and later to drive to the blue penguin colony from here. Dominoes pizza was good not far away.

Expectation Exceeded
Great motel that exceeded expectations based on first impressions upon arrival. Our options were limited when booking and upon driving into the Mews off the main road I was a little concerned about my selection but must say we were very pleasantly pleased with our room and stay. The room was very large, clean and had everything you would need for a short or longer stay. The location is close driving distance to the ocean and tourist areas. There are some restaurants and shopping within walking distance but we opted to eat and explore more in the historic area and along the water.

A nice motel. The walk to Oamaru's Victorian Precinct was a little longer than I would have preferred, but otherwise I had no problem. The guest laundry was useful.
