Book a Maheno Cottage

"Good place to stay "

"Wonderful historic building that was once a girl's boarding school. Very quiet location with great walking areas on the property. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious chocolates also made on the property. Would highly recommend. "

"We had to pay 50 NZ for sheets and towels on top of the rental price of the property which is unheard of when you rent a vacation home. A total rip off !"

"Room and kitchen were clean and room accomdated 4 people comfortably. Parking was tight but adequate. Joy contacted us around 6:00 pm to find out our ETA and arranged a late arrival by leaving the key in a lockbox which was very helpful. Would recommend this property. "

"Beautiful and clean place to stay very close to penguin viewing and historical downtown! Amazing proximity to so much that Oamaru offers!"

"The door was broken with a screw hanging out of the door handle which is asking for injury. When we first got there they said the key was in the door which isn’t very safe, then next minute they have lost the key and it takes them 10-15 to find us a key while we just stand around and wait. We go upstairs see the door handle and it’s literally a box with a bed in it. The bathroom had a dead fly in the shower. Wanted a full refund but only got half even through we did not stay there. DO NOT Reccomend!!!"

"We were pleased to be located at the rear of the complex so didn’t hear traffic noise. The suite was situated nicely and clean and the beds were comfortable. Was especially happy to be welcomed by a cat, not sure if it’s part of the complex or neighbour but was a delightful surprise, just want to know its name. Only there for a night so only interaction with staff was check-in and the person was friendly. Kitchen is small but has the basic supplies to be able to prepare a simple meal."

"A very quirky place. A cross between Steampunk and the old boys cricket club from yester year. Clean. Comfortable. Very central location. But no on site parking at all - despite what is advertised. Woolworths car park next door and street parking abundant after hours. Lovely continental breakfast. Place is all locked up at 8 pm, but room access is fine."

"Nice stay. Shower pressure needs work"
