Top Oban Hotel Reviews

Kererū House - Rakiura/Stewart Island

10/10 Excellent

"great location, wonderful views. house well equipped"

Greenvale Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely. We loved the little touches in the room and the breakfast room. Talking of which, the breakfast was really nice; beautiful bread, homemade muesli, local fresh fruit, lots of different local jams and honey. Linda and Mat were the most fabulous hosts; nothing was too much trouble: they ferried us around, arranged water taxis, packed lunches for our hikes, and so much more. A really lovely place to stay on a beautiful island in New Zealand :)"
