Our room was in the original old part of this classic hotel. It was beautifully renovated with everything one would expect. It is five minutes walk from the intercity bus stop.

It is a charming, lovingly refurbished and decorated flat that seems transported directly from the English countryside. Although the house is on the main road, the studio is at the back of the building and very quiet. You can walk to the city centre, but it takes time, so it is better to go by car.

The kitchen area was so well done with efficiency and charm. There were cereal and coffee choices, lovely bread for toast with choices of condiments. We could have searched for eggs in the henhouse or picked veggies from the garden. I loved that the Schoolhouse was a lovely red and the interior red door had a chalkboard with the name. We loved driving the country roads to get there.

    Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint museums, Oamaru heritage museum (pay/donate as you wish) and steampunk museum (NZD$15/pax). both were interactive and we enjoyed it with the helpful stuff. the day was a cloudy and rainy so we opted out of visiting the penguins - they have a live youtube stream of the penguins coming home which we watch. We did visit the penguins tour during the day, which was open to public and saw some fur seals relaxing. To watch the penguins coming home, it's NZD$45 per pax, which we thought was a little expensive. + the weather being bad, we decided to watch them online instead.

    We went for the penguins but could have spent another day wandering around the Victorian Precient, Steampunk HQ and lovely shops of Oamaru. Also nice that it is only 30 minutes away from Moeraki Boulders. Riverstone Castle and Kitchen make a great stop too on the way down from Christchurch.

    I love Oamaru for a visit.

    I love Oamaru for a visit. It is a very pretty place to visit with the historic area quite special. There are plenty of great places to eat, excellent shopping and being on the coast it has lovely views of the ocean. The blue penguin experience is well worth doing also. Riverstone restaurant is an absolute must if you enjoy excellent food. Highly recommend a visit there.

    Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean.

    Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean. Stunning historical buildings, vibrant shops filled with goodies, Sunday market brimming with organic produce - vegetables, honey, cheese, soaps, lotions, coffee and yummy treats. No junk - wonderful homemade produce at exceptionally good prices, for example - two cheese rolls and a cup of soup for $9.

    This backpackers was 100% the nicest place I’ve stayed in New Zealand. It was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished and welcoming. The lounge areas were warm, clean and cosy and it genuinely felt like a home away from home. This property is an absolute credit to the owners for the care and attention to detail they put into the place. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. Thank you! Also loved the way the beds were made and the cute penguin theme ☺️
