Oamaru Motor Lodge
"Stayed two nights at the property. Property was clean and great to have a kitchen. Location was close to town but not really walking distance. There is a supermarket and Warehouse close by which was handy. Couple of things could be improved - couches were so hard, really uncomfortable to sit on. ..."
