Beautiful clean and tidy room, even better having a ground floor suite with a King bed. Great to have an on site laundry to use to catch up on some washing and drying. Only 1 very small minor thing, the shower curtains didn't go all the way to the floor. All in all it was a great place to stay in a very handy location and our host was super helpful.

Property is well maintained. Bath rooms are most probably recently renovated and feels brand new. Kitchenette has all the facilities one might need and everything working well. Bed room had a dedicated LCD to watch TV in bed. Beddings were clean and the bed itself was comfortable. Overall it was a good experience. Definitely recommended.

The room was spacious, with good light coming in. The bathroom was also generously big and very clean. It had an electric hot plate/stove and came with cups, plates, silverware, and microwave. Parking is on the property. The property itself is close to the beach and main attractions of the town. It is a great value place.

Great location with good parking. Easy to find. Very clean and tidy, Was very warm day and would have been good if windows had been left open during the day so room not so hot on arrival as no aircon unfortunately. Unfortunately road noise travelled thru the bathroom fan (windows double glazed so they worked but not the fan). One of the better motels in Oamaru I think.
