Would highly recommend little sweetie - it was beautifully presented. We had a lovely welcome gift and info on what was in the area. Katrina was great to deal with- she answered all my questions and wanted to make sure we had a great time for our catch up

This was a great place to stay on our first night in NZ--quiet, clean, comfortable and the host was very responsive and welcoming. Pretty house, with all amenities. Easy walking distance to downtown and all attractions of Oamaru. Highly recommended.

Visiting Oamaru
Brilliant little house. Beautifully presented with everything we needed. The additional 2nd toilet was brilliant with 2 couples staying. Beds were super comfy and the location to explore the Victorian Quarter was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage
Period cottage close to historic area, nicely decorated, very clean, well-equipped and well kept. A few (minor) negatives - steep gravel driveway (can't walk down in flat bottom shoes), no toiletries (such as shampoo), and the washer/dryer is a combo unit so dryer is not vented and takes forever (fortunately, drying racks provided).
