I love the decor of the hotel and the rooms. Each room has a different theme.
Joyce, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was nice, but no available wall sockets for charging phone with unplugging a lamp and moving the bedside table. Also the room had a very strong odour of damp
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the eclectic decor, which fit perfectly with our Steampunk Festival weekend. The apartment was lovely and spacious, very convenient with its own private access and super friendly and efficient staff. An extremely enjoyable stay. We will be back.

Bing, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is my first time staying here, I normally stay elsewhere in Oamaru but felt like a change, excellent service from the moment I arrived, every business needs a staff member like the one I met, awesome rooms with themes, very comfortable, great shower pressure, unfortunately I had to leave early so couldn’t partake in the continental breakfast offered but I will be back, my new go to, highly recommended!
Brett, 1-night trip

A quirky hotel in a quirky town. We really enjoyed both. Poshtel was clean and comfortable with a cool vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful 🙂
Samantha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great one night stay at a quiet and comfortable hotel. Breakfast is delicious and lots of fresh fruit, dairy, breads, and cereal. Super convenient to the Victorian district and the harbor. Very cute town - would stay again! Bed is a little soft - only minor negative.

Property is in the middle of town, very handy for shops and attractions.

One of the most interesting and fun hotels I’ve ever stayed at - love all the history and unique deco. Highly rated

8/10 Very good

Lovely old building, but would be nice to have some more stairs, and secure parking
Ben, 1-night trip

Exceptionally well designed in every respect. Could be an art museum in its own right.
Will, 1-night trip

Exceeded expectations
Charles, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

They need to install some proper curtains that actually block the light from the extremely well lit carpark behind the hotel.

Norman, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a lovely boutique hotel. The location was convenient to restaurants and a short drive away from the penguin encounters. The continental breakfast was good. The guest room was comfortable. The shower area had no glass enclosure or floor mats. The stone bathroom floor was quite wet after showering. This poses a safety hazard which was mentioned to the owners.
Regina, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Mostly very happy with the hotel. Found the walls a little thin and the room a little small. High ceilings helped though. All and all a nice place to stay
Stephanie, 2-night trip
