289 Midway Motel
8.6 (106 reviews)

289 Midway Motel ★★★

📍 289 Thames Street, Oamaru

"Overall room condition is spacious and good, conveniently located by the main road, its a good motel with reasonable price and food choice if you visits Oamaru."

Casa Nova House
9.4 (44 reviews)

Casa Nova House ★★★★★

📍 1 Alt Street, Oamaru North, Oamaru

"Brenda was a fantastic host, anticipating our every need! Her partner was out of town and she managed her home like a complete professional. The rooms were all unique and the quality of linens, furniture and even the incredible wall paper was impressive. Her breakfast was generous and of high quality. We slept incredibly well despite the frigid temperatures outside. Brenda also booked lunch and penguin reservations for us, and followed up on behalf of a less than desired outcome from a local restaurant. I would highly recommend Casa Nova and have recommended it throughout our travels in NZ, especially to other B and B owners on the South Island. Omaru is an unusual and quirky spot and we are thrilled we were able to stay and explore for multiple days. Highly recommended!"

"The room was clean and the facilities were good; it was worth staying there."

Poshtel
9.4 (170 reviews)

Poshtel ★★★★

📍 126 Thames Street, Oamaru

"The room was very clean and comfortable, but be aware that our room's window didn't offer any view and couldn't be opened for ventilation. It was fine for a one-night stay, and the facilities were quite new with unique decor. The breakfast restaurant also had a great ambiance."

Bella Vista Motel Oamaru
8.3 (53 reviews)

Bella Vista Motel Oamaru ★★★★

📍 206 Thames Street, Oamaru

"The hotel environment is very good. The boss lady is a Chinese sister. She is very nice and gave me milk. It is very quiet here and very close to the scenic area. There is a McDonald's and a gas station ten meters away. There is a fish and chips restaurant 100 meters away. It is also opened by Chinese people. It is delicious but not friendly. In short, the hotel is very clean and sanitary, with a good location, convenient and fast, and convenient parking."

Heritage Court Lodge
7.6 (49 reviews)

Heritage Court Lodge ★★★★

📍 346 Thames Highway, Oamaru North, Oamaru

"How should I put it? Old houses always have a sense of historical sedimentation. If you bring a lot of luggage, try to note the room downstairs, otherwise the creaky stairs are a bit difficult to climb 🙂↕️The staff are basically invisible, and the parking space at the door is super small. It takes us a long time to get our two cars.😭"

Casa Nova House ★★★★★
"Casa Nova is a fabulous place to stay. It was located close to the town. The rooms were super comfortable and clean with lovely little extras including home baked goods. The bathroom was the best bathroom of our entire trip through New Zealand. The products were my favourite New Zealand brand. Our hosts were lovely and very knowledgeable about the area with lots of great recommendations of things to do and great restaurants. Overall was a great stay."

Brydone Hotel Oamaru ★★★
"The hotel in the beautiful town of Baishi doesn't have a big appearance, but the interior of the hotel has a strong Christmas atmosphere. The room is not big, but it is clean and tidy. It is quiet at night and it is good to have a good rest. The hotel is in the center of the town, making life convenient and it's pleasant to browse the shops!"

Oamaru Backpackers ★★
"Good hostel. Reasonable price and well equipped facilities. I would stay here if I come Oamaru again. One bad thing. There is no front desk. So guests always have to be aware of PIN that lets you get inside (even their room). So I had to bring my mobile even when I went to the toilet. If I had forgotten my room PIN, I couldn't open the door of my room."

The Mews Oamaru ★★★★
"This was the cleanest and tidiest room we stayed in during our 12-day road trip. The room was great, check-in and check-out were very convenient, and it's not far from where you can see the little penguins. Plus, being able to watch Netflix was a perfect bonus! Very satisfied."

Poshtel ★★★★
"This hotel is steeped in history and thoughtful design. From the decor and furnishings to the amenities, you can feel the owner's dedication and commitment to every detail. The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby is locked after 8 PM as there's no one on duty, but there are other entrances to access the hotel. The location is excellent, with a large supermarket nearby. It's within walking distance of the Victorian Historic Precinct, and along the way, you'll find many historical sites and unique small shops. The hotel doesn't have private parking, but street parking nearby is free from 5 PM until 9:30 AM the next day. If you need to park longer, it costs one New Zealand Dollar per hour. Breakfast primarily consists of simple pastries, cold cuts, fruit, and hot and cold beverages. Overall, it was a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Oamaru!"
