This is a beautiful property and each room is unique and special. So much extra care was given to so many details: the selection of tea/coffee in the room; the amenities; the cleanliness; the flexibility of management; the comfort of the bed linens. The breakfast is probably the best I’ve had at a hotel in NZ: wonderful avocados and tomatoes and fruit. So many options for the spreads for your toast. The location is spot on - parking is on the street but it is very easy to access the hotel. The staff was so friendly and helpful. They have a beautiful lobby area where guests can sit and visit or have a drink. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this outstanding hotel.

Everything was wonderful!!!

Great room- large and comfortable. Quirky decorated added to the appeal. Loved the added touches such as pillow spray. Good location. Simple but lovely breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Stairs to our room were a bit of a challenge with heavy suitcases. Lift available to level but a short flight of stairs down then up to access our room. Luckily my friend could carry the suitcases or I would of ended up falling down the stairs! If this is a challenge for you make sure you request a ground level room.

The hotel is very new, everything is clean tidy and easy on the eye. The front door girl was very lovely, which is always the most important part of every hospitality interaction. The giant bed was extra comfortable, the hot shower had great pressure, room was vert warm even though very high ceilings. so overall we had very comfortable stay.

Were woken up before 6am by the loading forklifts in the neighbouring supermarket. Pity our windows were facing that way. I'm sure if you're not a tired parent that has a treat night off for a sleep in it will be a minor.

is in a great location. Everything is within easy walking distance from there. The hotel is very tastefully decorated and a highlight of our trip. The owners are super friendly and the breakfast has a great selection of fresh and sustainable products. The large fruit basket is especially great. The hotel's recommendations - especially the Restaurante Cucina - are also highly recommended.

Unfortunately, our room was right next to a gutter, and as it rained all night, it was splashing quite loudly the whole time.

The breakfast was fresh fruit and homemade cereal. I enjoyed the high quality of the food and the lovely surroundings. The room was exceptional, with an excellent bathroom and comfortable bed. The themed rooms add a lovely character to the stay. I was especially pleased to be in the music room. The Poshtel is centrally located in Oamaru and conveniently near the intercity bus stop.

I was very happy with my stay at the Poshtel and will certainly stay there again. I have no complaints.

All the rooms were decorated in a different quirky style, as was the lounge area, in keeping with the Steam Punk theme of Oamaru. Our room had a skii theme and our friends room had a farming theme. The hotel location was right in the centre of the town near all the shops. We could park in the supermarket car park next to the hotel. In the evening we visited the penguin colony and saw the little blue penguins jumping out of the sea and scurrying to their burrows.

Nothing really.

we had an apartment with a separate entry and it was awesome. The character of the place was great, having kept the vault door in the bedroom made it really unique. The decor in the lobby and the historical artefacts of Oamaru was really interesting. The breakfast concept also suited us very well. All in all, it’s a very well designed boutique hotel with very nice and attentive staff. Definitely worth the stop.

The washing machine was too “jumpy” and would require stabilizing. However that was really minor and having the ability to wash our clothes was a real plus.

It provided a unique and artistic style which I had never experienced before! The bedding and room was very clean and well-kept. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The elevator, albeit slow, was interesting. After you dropped your bags, the short stairwell out onto the street remedied this. Also useful for getting back to your room quickly in the evening.

We didn't know where to park at first, an automated message and/or a pre-arrival pdf guide would help. The accommodation may shock you a bit with its still, and it may not feel like a hotel per se, but it was absolutely fine and very comfortable.

We stayed in apartment 53 which was very comfortable and and well fitted out. The decoration was well thought out with photos of old Oamaru. A leaflet giving the history of the building was a nice touch. We loved the bedroom was the old vault from when the building was a bank. There was the added bonus of a continental breakfast.

There is Countdown supermarket directly behind the hotel which some might find a problem but it did not bother us.

Lovely rooms!! We had a very comfortable stay - really enjoyed the leather couch and chair and the decor was awesome! Everything beautifully clean and tidy. The host was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing really. Some actual onsite parking would be good but because of its location it isn’t possible - however parking outside on the street is free after 5pm til 10am and otherwise the countdown carpark is very close anyway.
