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).

Brilliant location
This wee cottage is perfectly situated for the historic part of Oamaru. We were able to park up at the house and walk everywhere during the Heritage Festival. The drive is steep, but quite short. The views over the harbour to the ocean are lovely and one morning were were treated to a fantastic sunrise. The house is clean and well equiped. We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again.

Sunny house in the heart of Oamaru
Excellent stay. The house is only a few minutes walk from the centre of town and ideal for friends travelling together, with two lovely queen bedrooms. Comfy beds. Very spacious, clean and tidy. The deck is a great spot to sit outside.

The house was lovely - amazing ceiling details! It was warm, had everything we needed and was walking distance to the historic area/buildings that we thoroughly enjoyed wandering around. Close to great eatery's including an amazing bakery - really just the perfect spot to enjoy Oamaru. Host was lovely and welcoming too. Highly recommend.
