Top Hotels Near Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony in Oamaru from NZ$106

"Quaint is the word. So different from chain hotels. Beautifully restored old building .witmemmem"

"Quite a quirky place in the Victorian area of Omaru. The room was compact and probably the same layout as it was in Victorian time. The room and bathrooms were clean. The kitchen was a bit disorganised. The staff were lovely and very keen to help in any way they could."

"Our room had the basic kitchen motel amenities. The room was clean, the staff friendly and our parking in front of our room. The victorian buildings were well restored. We couldn't get a ticket to see the blue pinguins at night but we saw a few including young ones during the day inside the research centre area."

"Good size, clean room. Very good 👍"

"Layout of the room could have been improved as could not use the couch and watch TV. TV was a bit small, tucked in the corner and too low to comfortably watch from the bed. Otherwise, clean, tidy and good service on arrival."

"Beautiful refurbished spacious well designed and extremely comfortable house. Completely private and quiet with gorgeous views."

"Great place for a one night stop to break up a long drive. The owners are relatively new so bear that in mind when looking at older reviews. Very clean and spacious"

"Service and staff were excellent. Felt very welcome"

"The room was very clean with the kitchen supplies meticulously organized in the cabinets and drawers. The room has a glass wall to the parking area with a sliding glass patio door entrance to the room. I thought this was very odd, until the next place we stayed in New Zealand had the exact same design. Must be a New Zealand thing. The managers/owners(?) were very pleasant."
