stayed here with the family for one night on our tour of New Zealand. Came to see the penguins. Owners were right on site to answer any questions and very informative. At the quiet end of town so no traffic but convenient to both dining groceries and shopping. Could walk to center of town in 25 minutes.

Great motel.
Good motel for a rest stop on our way to Dunedin. Nice clean spacious room. Comfy king size bed with good linen. Good sized bathroom with shelves in the shower! Very useful but rare! Although on the Highway room was quiet and good curtains cut out the light.

Tidy handy place for a nights stay
Well sized units with double glazing. Nice new bathroom so amazed the owners hadn't put in shower domes to protect their new bathrooms from steam - it would also have made it more comfortable for the user to have no steam outside of the shower. Very clean bathroom and kitchen with everything you need. Sadly an earlier guest had cooked smelly food so the room needed more airing.

Really enjoyed our quick stay at the AAA Thames Court Motel. Even though it's on the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise. Would definitely stay here next time we are in Oamaru.
