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.

A Posh Hotel It Is!!

The first thing that stands out is the eclectic collection of antiques for each themed room. It's definitely worth poking your head in some of the other rooms to see them. What a fun and funky hotel! The location is convenient for walking around town. There are several restaurants that are open seven days a week. Most of the shops, however, close at 5 PM. Parking is convenient. The staff was exceedingly friendly!!! The continental breakfast was fine. A nice variety of fresh fruit and cereals.

Great visit

Great hotel in the middle of town. We could sort out quite a few things before our flight. The lady at the reception was very kind and told us about the Penguin colony. The penguins wait for it to become dark before they come to the shore. We also got a good recommendation for a restaurant close to the penguin colony.

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 🙂

The property was beautiful, rooms were stunning and the breakfast was absolutely beautiful totally recommended
Jasmine, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very unique structure... you ring a bell and wait for host to open the door (a key code allows you to enter hotel on your own once you check in). Building is unique -- a loft-style bank / hunting lodge (yes, it is all of those things). Town has preserved much of its historic buildings, and repurposed them -- a bit of a walk to other attractions (Steampunk Museum, and blue penguin colony).

Great place!

Fabulous old building that’s now quirky and fun, in a steampunk kind of way. Just be warned, the lounge closes at 8pm and there's a bit of road noise, but otherwise highly recommended.
