Our stay was superb and exceeded our expectations. The hotel is tastefully decorated with memorabilia and interesting items you won't find anywhere else. When we mentioned we would be leaving early the next morning they prepared a breakfast tray in advance for our room. It was just amazing.

If you are looking for a true boutique-style hotel this is it! The vibe is artsy and funky with cool public areas and the rooms are cozy with style. The staff are really friendly and it came with breakfast. Plus, Oamaru is now one of my favourite places in New Zealand. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Convenient location in Omarau. Walking distance to everything in town. Nice breakfast options. The room was clean but a bit on the small side. Other than that it was very good. Would probably stay here again
