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!

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

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.

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!

The unit was great. We also had a full kitchen for our use. Very clean and quiet even though it is next to the main road. We had a very good night's rest. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Gave us choices of milk for our morning coffee and offered me the use of the hair dryer before I even asked him. He also showed us where we could get food etc.

The bathroom sink was super small. There were big gaps on both ends of the sliding door of the bathroom. It would be better if there are some "Brush/seals" at the edge that would cover the gaps while there is someone in the bathroom for better privacy. The sofa was a bit small for 2 people.

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.

We arrived at 8pm to a lovely, informative welcome (not just the key and instructions left at reception) and a choice of full fat or lite milk to help us settle in 😀 We instantly relaxed once we unpacked the car We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a 2 bedroom cabin which had been newly refurbished. After a month on the road it was so lovely to have more than 1 room especially a full size, well equipped kitchen with a large fridge/freezer and a "proper" oven. The shower and TV were excellent and the double bed comfortable. Parking was right outside the cabin and there were a couple of chairs for sitting outside had the weather been a bit nicer. Despite it being in the main road we didn't notice the traffic noise. We felt safe and secure. Petrol station next door. Wish we'd been able to stay for an extra night, 2 nights wasn't quite enough, but we've got to keep moving as there is so much of NZ to see and not enough time

Free, unlimited WiFi was provided but I think our cabin was right on the limit of the range. My phone dropped the signal quite a bit but my husband's phone was fine. I found that if I opened the front door or stood by the window that the WiFi was perfect for me and really fast.
