Older style units in a very convenient location just a little bit south of Oamaru. My unit was very comfortable and quiet despite the location just off the highway. It was great having a motel-style kitchen, and my unit had a separate bedroom with single beds in it (I didn't need those, but it was lovely having so much space). There were cattle in the paddock on the hill and a sunny spot to sit just outside the unit that was fairly private. Very friendly owner. Unit was very clean and tidy. It was just what I needed.

Kerry and his staff do a terrific job. Very friendly and helpful. Room was exceptionally clean and kitchen well stocked. Bed very comfortable. Although the unit are retro, they were built in the day when fittings were made in NZ (not offshore) and are of a very high quality. Hence they have lasted the years and everything worked well e.g. taps, shower, light switched and electricial outlets. Better than many more modern holiday apartments. Obviously they have been well maintained.

It was on the located on the main highway south but we did not find it noisy.

The price was reasonable in the area. Really pleasant and helpful staff/owners. Older, but very clean, neat, and tidy accommodation. Probably the most comfortable bed during our whole trip. I hadn't expected our cabin to be serviced, but it was a pleasant surprise, even did our dishes, which I was going to do later!

Shower water pressure was really weak, but not a deal breaker, the water was hot. Our cabin was right at the back of the property, only just head traffic noise from main road which the Motel sits on. Rooms closer to the road would be noisier.

For a last minute booking when there was no accomodation left in Oamaru or Dunedin and the cost I wasn’t expecting much. My expectations were hugely exceeded, it was no problem for us to collect the key prior to check in time on our way though to Dunedin, the room was spotless (cleaner than some 5 star accommodation I’ve stayed in) and not dated. To top things off when we got back at 2:30am on a freezing cold night we found the heaters had been turned on in the room something so simple yet so thoughtful. Would 100% recommend!

A place I've driven past numerous times but never thought id stay. What a lovely experience. Mr 11 and I stayed 1 night, we were an evening check in and the room was warm and toasty. It was clean, had comfy warm beds and I loved the way it was older but with modern charm. The wee touches made it a really pleasant stay. If you are traveling between chch and invercargill its the place to stay, we'll definitely stay again. Fantastic value for money.

First - I loved the way I was greeted by the staff (older man). He was very welcoming, friendly, kind, helpful and given important information of the places I want to go to and how to get there. Staff even turned on the heater in our cottage to keep the room warm since we checked in late around 8pm. He has behaviour that everyone wishes to have everywhere they go. Thank you- i appreciate what you have done for me and my wife. Second- the cottage was amazing, clean, cosy and standards were above and beyond our expectations

I liked everything

It’s a very cute and well presented property. The unit was cosy but clean and fresh and well appointed. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was nice to be just outside of Oamaru township.

The dining/lounge area was a little too cramped with both a couch and table and chairs, but we could make do for a short stay. And I can see the intention is to provide everything you need, which is not a bad thing at all.

A little out of town, but quiet, clean and a nice green lawn. This isn't the usual city motel with concrete and no garden. Owners were kiwis and had extensive local knowledge. Greeted me by name when I arrived! Room had a separate kitchen, 1960s style, but that added to the charm. Rates were cheap, but service and comfort top notch. Would stay again when visiting Oamaru. Only downside is the lack of eateries within walking distance, but the kitchen allowed us to cook for ourselves... much cheaper!

Such a friendly older gentlemen at reception to greet us and direct us to our room! He was also super accommodating that our booking had been changed last minute and no longer included the children The family apartment was such a good size for anyone with children! Had all the basic functions and room was lovely and clean.

The water pressure in the shower was really bad! Made it really hard to wash my hair after a wedding hairdo.

The photo above shows the delightful cottage I stayed in, with a lovely garden at the door. The care that has been taken in furnishing the rooms makes one feel welcome and detracts completely from the highway. So much thought has gone into making this a special place, and it is definitely on my list for another visit. Friendly, cheerful man at reception, too.
