We had one of the heritage rooms, which had recently been refurbished to a high standard. It was huge, and very comfortable, so we were delighted. Location was perfect.

Contactless check-in was fuss-free. The room was absolutely stunning and an interior designer's dream. We loved the Nespresso machine and Netflix. The best accommodation we stayed in over the 2 weeks we spent in the south island!

FAQs about hotels in Oamaru

What guests said about Oamaru:

We enjoyed our visit to Omarau immensely.

We enjoyed our visit to Omarau immensely. Went to Steam Punk city and to see the penguin colony. Then the boulders. All we enjoyed and would recommend as a must see. The locals were very friendly and the shopkeepers very helpful. We were only there for three nights but really enjoyed our time. Would love to visit again sometime in the future.

Oamaru is totally different from other towns we visited.

Oamaru is totally different from other towns we visited. The old Victorian centre and Harbour area is really interesting, full of galleries and quirky shops. There are a couple of breweries there but Craftworks is the best, like an old English pub. But it’s the Steampunk scene that is the weirdest and most interesting thing about Oamaru. There’s a great interactive must-visit museum. Allow at least two days so you can visit Elephant Rocks and the Māori rock paintings outside town and a castle on the way to Christchurch. The coastline between Dunedin and Oamaru is spectacular too. Don’t miss the Moeraki rocks.

I came for the Victorian Heritage Festival and to catch up with friends. I really love the historic precinct, the harbour and Gardens. They all have an old world charm. People are friendly. The St Patrick's Basilica is really worth visiting.

The heavy rain precluded too much driving around, but locating historical places was rewarding earlier on., With Labour Day celebrations, it meant most people were at home celebrating a day off (which was good) but not so much to participate in through the day. However a very good meal was enjoyed at Star and Garter down the road and I would thoroughly recommend visiting there.

I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum.

I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum. But my favorite was seeing the blue penguins arriving on the shore at the Penguin Sanctuary at the end of the wharf. Totally worth paying for premium seats.

We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour.

We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour. Steampunk to brewery to little blue penguins. Tees Street Cafe for breakfast and then we were off. I loved the quirkiness and historical charm and would like to go back. I think 2-3 nights would be more fun. Even 4 would be good. Everything close to each other though so still worth it for even 1 night. Magical!

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.

Thanks to the hospitable and friendly staff it's been for me the very best accommodation in New Zealand. I was very greatful to them even for not being so strict with checking out times, free left luggage room and so on. And Oamaru itself - you must visit the town to understand the atmosphere. Would love to come once again.

We loved the feel of the hotel, historic, interesting, lots of wood panelling, and a certain charm and eccentricity about it. The bed was probably the most comfortable we'd ever slept in! Nice view of the bay from the room. Good value for money.

The hotel was well located, on the main street of Oamaru, and an easy 20-minute walk to the penguin conservation centre, which was the reason for our visit. It was quiet and the restaurant area is lovely.
