Top Elephant Hill Hotel Reviews

Poshtel

10/10 Excellent

"This is my first time staying here, I normally stay elsewhere in Oamaru but felt like a change, excellent service from the moment I arrived, every business needs a staff member like the one I met, awesome rooms with themes, very comfortable, great shower pressure, unfortunately I had to leave early so couldn’t partake in the continental breakfast offered but I will be back, my new go to, highly recommended!"

Peaceful cottage in private garden setting.

10/10 Excellent

"On a family road trip around NZ from Aus in July. Stayed one night and loved the place. Great sized cottage, beautifully set up and well maintained. The surrounds are stunning with a lovely garden and so many little birds. Our host took great care of us with pre-lit pot belly and basics in the kitchen to see us right. I highly recommend this stay, it’s along the way and well worth it. "

Brydone Hotel Oamaru

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely room. Just the right size for our one night stay. We were annoyed that the electric blanket was incredibly hard to find and plug in to use. I broke my permanent bracelet trying to lift the whole mattress to get to the plug on both beds. The heater has 3 different places to make sure it is on (overkill), had to call the desk to get it working. Positives: it is a lovely old hotel with a quirky room system. A few stairs to conquer but also a small elevator. It is very central to everything. A lovely walk up amd down the road to find quaint shops and wonderful old buildings. The people were nice and the cleaning lady was especially perky in the morning. Everyone seemed.to be happy to work there. "
