I loved how central the accommodation is. Walking distance to the shops & cafes. Room service was great. Having a restaurant, bar & offstreet parking is excellent. Staff was very friendly & professional. Highly recommend.

So nice to stay in a historic (old by NZ standards at least :-D) building. It is beautiful and should be celebrated like that. It was also lovely to read the pamphlet about its history. I wish they could put the parapet back up!

Last time I stayed at this Hotel was 30 years ago. Was perfectly adequate for a comfortable nights stay. Central Oamaru, so good location with plenty of free parking at the rear of the Hotel. Happy with my stay overall.

Room was well priced and had all we needed. My only negative comment would be the pressure of the water, very poor but bathroom was lovely
Jeannine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Central location. Clean and lots of parking. Older feel to the hotel as it was a historic building that eas renovated but lots of character.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very conveniently located, close to Oamaru’s main attractions
Philip, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

An historic hotel, well maintained with spacious rooms. The location is excellent on the Main Street (which is very quiet at night) and within walking distance of all the main attractions (galleries, steampunk, cafes etc). Breakfast was very good and the staff both friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing lovely old building! Nice rooms, bit of street noise early morning but hey the windows are thin and not double glazed. Nice bar, wanted to check out the other bar out the back too but it closed early.
