My old school, a few of us got together for a reunion, while main convent/dormitory area has been rebuilt and is very comfortable the rest of the school has deteriorated over the years.

The serenity of the place.

Stayed in February 2025

Could hear every step upstairs guests took. Needs insulation or carpet with underlay. Window over the door needs to be covered as light came in all night.

Room was clean. Parking was good. Pleased to see a fridge, toaster and microwave. Really handy.

About 15 minutes drive from Oamaru. No laundry etc. All odd crockery & cutlery. Not well equipped.

Striking looking property in large grounds. Clean. Comfortable beds. Friendly staff. More of a Retreat than a Resort.

The room we stayed in didnt have any internal window coverings so the hall way lights shining throug the windows all night. But also the room wasnt quite ready for people to stay so maybe that still needs to be looked at. Also we was travelling with our dog and when book was added to the booking so when arrived we was moved rooms to another one. The booking was made for a king studio room with extra large double bed the room we ended up in was two single beds with not kitchenette ect small details but worth noting

Nice grounds with history of the grounds

Out of town but still close. Could hear the birds in the morning. The room was very clean. Staff were nice.

Nothing. The title "Resort' could be misleading if you are wanting a swimming pool, gym, or restaurant facilities. For me it was a perfect place to unwind, after a very early morning international flight and drive from Christchurch, before starting my travels and catching up with family in NZ

A very friendly, welcoming young lady greeted me on arrival. The room was lovely, large, and very clean. Comfortable bed. Loved the location - it was in a very tranquil setting. May not suit everyone as you need transport to drive to restaurants and shops. I stocked up in Oamaru before my stay. A very restful place to chill out. Take some reading material with you. TV reception?

The location was a little remote, meaning there was nothing nearby to walk to and there was no on-site restaurant. I think they will have one, but it wasn't open during our stay.

The grounds and the building were beautiful and fun to explore. The room was large and very comfortable. Parking was free. The owner was lovely and very helpful.

So lovely and secluded

No facility for making coffee. Would be good to have a coffee plunger. Also would be good to have everyday tea as well as English breakfast for those who prefer that. EB an acquired taste

Location was lovely. Interesting history

I liked the history

Wedding function - we felt bit strange walking round when wedding guests were there but it wasn't that bad at all. All over very happy with our stay.

Loved being abel to stay here! Lovely comfy beds. Generous space for the whole room. Great shower. Was pleasantly surprised by lack of noise. There was a wedding function being held. We were worried would be kept awake all night by loud music which you could hear in hallway. We are pleased to report nope- barely heard a thing once door closed to our room.

To much light in the bedroom and to many red lights to sleep. I also triped over the doorstoper that was out in the middle of the lobby on the way in and on the way out. So lucky I had shoes on.

Nothing to dislike

It was lovely arriving there and exploring the history and how well it has been developed. It’s quite wonderful and it was very good to be there in the great bedrooms with a balcony and a lovely bathroom. Looking out over the gardens surrounding the main building is relaxing and very engaging in the outdoors with nature.

A bit further from Oamaru than we expected which was not so convenient. A bit lonely. Not sure there were other guests. No coffee pot was a down side.

Historical girls school and interesting building. Comfortable beds and exceptionally clean. Friendly staff.

Nothing in particular

The location is lovely with a car if you don't need to be in a town - and not a long drive from shops etc anyway. It is a lovely building with pretty nice rooms. It seems to get used for tour groups as well as weddings etc - so it was really quiet when I was there but I suspect it also gets very busy!

Stayed in October 2023

The worst aspect of the property is that the location was a bit out of way for a visit to Oamaru. It’s 15 minutes - so hardly a deal breaker.

Good, large rooms.

Loved the country location and the beautiful buildings. Rooms were lovely and comfy and very clean

Stayed in September 2023

There needs to be a mirror in the room. There is only one in the bathroom.

The rooms were very large and clean. One of the rooms was more modern as the lighting was better. It was a nice quiet place away from traffic. A short drive into the town of Oamaru.
