"Our stay at Casa Nova House in Oamaru was exceptional. Brenda was an incredible host—warm, welcoming, and attentive in a way that made us feel genuinely cared for. The room itself was beautifully designed, with thoughtful details throughout and a sense of calm that immediately put us at ease. And the bed… easily the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept in. We left feeling rested, delighted, and so grateful for the experience. Casa Nova House is a true gem, and we can’t wait to return."
