We are so happy when we enter the unit. Very tidy, clean n in order. We love everything in the motel. The kitchen at it,s designated area( best with dish drainer ), the spacious toilet ( best if the water pressure is stronger ) and the comfortable linen ( bed could be too soft if u are not young ). We were given room 1 which was just beside the road. I thought it would be noisy but surprisingly not. Overall, we are really happy staying here. Too bad we only stay one night here. My children wish we can stay more night.

Nothing honestly.

Good location close to central Oamaru and the Victorian Quarter. The motel unit we stayed in was at the rear of the property in a quiet location therefore no road noise. In addition, the unit appeared to have been designed to prevent airborne and impact noise from attached units which is a big plus in terms of having a good nights sleep

But Colonial Lodge Motel has been Amazing and gave me faith in human kindness again, this was my last stay for our trip and has helped my mindset more than the realize, just by being kind can change a lot for a person, and due to their kindness I feel I will have a good day. Thank you so much Colonial 😁👍

we didn't have breakfast and never do when we stay at motels. The motel was quiet and restful for us.

It was a bit too far to walk to the centre of Oamaru, however, we did find a very good taxi operator who charged us a much lower rate to get into and back - ring around for the taxis.

Nice little motel. Spotlessly clean, roomy, comfortable beds, good shower, quiet, good parking. Only a short drive to the town centre. A special treat was a morning visit from the cat from the next door property, who stayed for breakfast and graciously tolerated our adoration.

I have no complaints at all.

Room had seperate bedroom from living area, which is really an upgrade from the usual bed in lounge room motel rooms. Also, the carpet was pretty new and loved that. The bathroom was also modern and stylish.

The only thing I can think of is a fan (ceiling fans or a standing fan) to circulate the air, otherwise I couldn't improve it.

My wife, daughter and I had a one night stay in the one bedroom apartment to visit friends.. It was great having a bed in the lounge for my daughter to sleep in. Our accommodation was around the back so was very quiet away from the main road traffic.

Nothing.

Darren, the owner, was delightful and friendly. The unit was immaculately clean when we arrived and each day used towels were replaced, garbage removed and tea/ coffee etc topped up. The beds were comfortable, sheets and towels of excellent quality. It was also great that we could bring our two dogs!

There was nothing to fault about the accommodation.
