The hot tub overlooking the sea was definitely an amazing experience and the reason why we wanted to stay at the lodge.

I was disappointed to only find out that the cost of the hot tub was almost as expensive as the accommodation. While it was worth the money; I feel that is something that should be advertised when booking not after the nonrefundable confirmation email is received.

The lounge is very cozy. -The staffs are really nice. -The lodge is away from the town centre. So in a nice weather you might be able to see the galaxy in the garden.

The lounge is surrounded by all the rooms,which looks really cool and nice. But on the other hand, it could also makes everyone feel noisy if people is chatting loudly in the lounge.(luckily it didn't happen to us cuz we don't have much people checked in that day.) -There is only one shower got a heater. The rest of the shower are quite cold ❄️

Lovely spacious communal dining and relaxing area, very well-equipped kitchen, everything super clean and tidy, comfortable beds, ideal setting so close to a beautiful beach. An easy drive to Oamaru. Steampunk HQ is a must-see, it's wonderfully quirky, and historic area is great. Excellent value.

Some sofas a bit tired, showers had very limited space because of the way the plumbing had been done, music was fairly unobtrusive but not really necessary; the scenery and setting are fine as is.

This place is fabulous. Beachfront location a few minutes out of town. Super comfortable with everything you need to have a relaxed getaway - fully equipped kitchen, gorgeous hot tubs, comfy beds, towels and linens provided. Ample free parking onsite. Helpful, friendly owners. Large living/common area with comfy couches and lots of natural light. Shared bathrooms are clean and spacious. Cherry on top was the jigsaw puzzle under construction on the coffee table - was a huge hit with the other guests too!

The location is perfect. Short walk down to the beach, can sit outside at night and listen to the waves and look up at the stars. Bed was comfy and facilities were all clean and tidy. Very helpful owners who had some great tips on what to explore in the area. Price was well worth it. Twin bedroom was perfect size for what we needed for an overnight stay. No complaints at all.Would def stay here again!

The Lodge was excellent. So clean throughout and of high standard. Beautiful views and able to have a beautiful walk on the beach. So peaceful and a beautiful dining , lounge Kitchen area. Well stocked with everything you need. The bathroom were lovely. Comfy beds and two way access was excellent. The owner was a lovely lady whom made sure we understood how to get in after dark and that we had everything we needed.

Nothing at all

Wow just wow. What an amazing place. The lodge is lovely and clean, warm and inviting. It is self catering but everything you need is there for you to use and hosts Grant and Karen are only to happy to help with anything else you might need. The star in the piece has to be location and surroundings. Only a few minutes south of Oamaru you have the ocean on one side and rolling fields on the other.Lush well cared for lawns surround the lodge with tasteful landscaping offering lots of sheltered spots to enjoy the sun.

If I was to nit pick the pillows were a bit soft for me but that’s on me for forgetting to bring my own. I grabbed a couple of cushions from the lounge area which did the job nicely

Everything is provided, tea coffee, cooking facilities, even liquid soap in the bathroom. It is a warm and friendly atmosphere. Very clean. The option to have a soak in the hot pools is a luxury.

Something that notifies the owners when people arrive at Old Bones would be great. So they are not left waiting. Whether the alarm is on the gate as you drive in or the door.

Fabulous host who is passionate about the place & knows the history! Super impressed by the cleanliness of the place. Well equipped communal kitchen and communal living space. Feels like a back-packers for older people who want to be in bed by 10:30. Good to chat with some fellow travellers

Little odd having the bedrooms coming off communal space / kitchen. But everybody very considerate of everyone else, so no issues with noise in evening or early morning.

The facilities were great - and whilst the bedrooms weren't large, they were clean and very comfortable. It was also lovely to have such a well equipped kitchen and a superb communal lounge/dining area, with views over the garden. The hosts were also really friendly, putting on the log fire for us in the evening

Nothing to dislike!
