The only place of this standard in Oamaru

A fabulous stay at Poshtel. I had an upstairs room (polo theme) which was so comfortable and quiet. The staff were amazing & the free breakfast was substantial and good quality. Nice extra touches like the pillow sleep spray. I will definitely stay here a 3rd time.
