    I greatly enjoyed this hotel. Everything was very comfortable, had a very GOOD stay for a night. - the room was well-appointed and included satellite television, a seating area, and ironing facilities. - the location in an interesting area was peaceful and there were shopping centres and supermarkets nearby.

    We got a room with a Jacuzzi bath. Had a microwave, central heating, and an iron. The staff that checked us in was amicable. It was in a central location, near the harbour area;))

    The hotel staff was not very friendly.

    By and large, it was superb base for sightseeing in Oamaru, had much fun. Near to the downtown, 20 minutes on foot. Not to mention free parking for residents. We would recommend to anyone.

    The location of this place, which is very close to the town center, was fantastic, and I had a very pleasant stay for a night, overlooking a property just 3 km from the public gardens.

    Friendly staff, beautiful quiet room, ultra comfy bed.

    Website says its a private balcony which we booked but was a balcony on a shared through fare which was disappointing as specifically asked in my booking about the private balcony. If you say something you should provide it.
