The Vicarage is a perfect spot to stay in Oamaru. The room & bed was super comfortable and the common area is warm & inviting. The breakfast is perfect. Jacqui has fabulous ideas and ready to give you directions or places to spot little blue penguins on your way back from dinner (and absolute highlight!)

We loved the location so close to downtown Oamaru. The room was neat and spacious. The decor of the house had huge attention to detail. Jackie’s knowledge of where to go and where to eat was excellent. A warm and cosy stay.

Nothing, everything was great.

The Vicarage Boutique Bed and Breakfast Oamaru is an absolute GEM! We loved the house, it was a lovingly restored villa and very comfortable. The host made us feel very special and she was kind, considerate and was very helpful especially recommending places to go. Breakfast was a lovely quaint affair, and the croissants perfect! I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting somewhere special to stay in Oamaru!

Did not realise there were stairs, quite steep. Did not matter too much but with heavy suitcase or mobility issues could be a problem.

Location, price, breakfast, hostess, chocolate fish jar, off street parking.

Warm hospitality, breakfast, and friendly tips about tours.

Very personal and homely stay. Just like if you're visiting someone in your family.

the sink in the bathroom was too tiny although the water pressure in the shower was excellent

The Victorian building of The Vicarage fit in perfectly with the vibe in this beautiful old town. The location was convenient to the historic center, the botanical garden and also the bus stop although the owner graciously picked us up because it was raining.

It was perfect.

The breakfast was fabulous. Great fruit, gluten free muesli and even a gluten free hot cross bun. The Vicarage is an easy walk from the restaurants and attractions of Oamaru. The bed was one of the best we have slept in. And Jacqui is a wonderful host.

The room was a bit cold (probably our fault for not being able to figure out the heater) but the bed was very comfy with lots of warm blankets.

The Vicarage is a lovely B&B. The period details in the common room and guest rooms are just gorgeous. It was raining while we were there so we weren't able to see the gardens which also looked wonderful. The location is great - a short walk to the main commercial street, the Steampunk Museum and restaurants. Our room was very large and beautifully appointed, from the soaring ceilings and old wooden floors to the gorgeous fireplace. Breakfast was delicious with a huge continental spread of toast, croissants, cereals, jams, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, etc. We felt very well cared for. But the best part of the experience was Jacqui. She is an outstanding host and was so kind and friendly. We felt so welcome there. She provided excellent recommendations from things to do in Oamaru to what to do/see on our drive to the next day. We really enjoyed our interactions with her.
