Poshtel

Poshtel

📍 126 Thames Street, Oamaru
★★★★ 9.4 (168 reviews)

"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."

Casa Nova House

📍 1 Alt Street, Oamaru North, Oamaru
★★★★★ 9.4 (44 reviews)

"Spent two nights at Casa Nova House with another couple. What a delight it was and our hosts Katrina & Brenda made it even more special with their cheerful helpful service. This building is a beautiful Heritage Listed Hotel and the guest rooms are beautifully decorated and have all modern facilities. The breakfast is lovely and we had dinner in their restaurant which was stunning to say the least. Would recommend it to anyone."

"Good motel with clean and large rooms, with a spacious bathroom. Our unit was at ground floor with no view at all except the carpark. The motel has a restaurant where we had lunch and this is convenient. There was some noise from a close park of trucks, but not during the night."

Pen-y-bryn

Pen-y-bryn

📍 41 Towey Street, Holmes Hill, Oamaru
★★★★★ 9.5 (32 reviews)

"I thought it might have been our imagination, but after reading two similar reviews from guests who stayed during the same time we did (Nov. & Jan., 2025 - 26), I think it wasn't just us. My friend and I also felt initially that we were imposing on our hosts, rather than feeling welcomed, but we persevered, and one of "the Jameses" at least finally warmed up a bit. I think it was our request to meet their dogs that did it. The place is gorgeous and impeccably maintained. The delicious (vegetarian - we had requested in advance) dinner was a bit awkward, with only the 2 of us and the unsmiling chef (the other James), but breakfast was very impressive and more friendly, with several other guests to talk with. A good lesson in tolerance for different types of personalities."

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!"

The Mews Oamaru ★★★★
"The landlord is very nice. When you check in with the key, you will receive a small bottle of milk~ This time I booked a cabin room, number 19. It was very nice. I felt like I had a small home in New Zealand~ Parking is available at the door, and each parking space is marked with a room number, one parking space for each family. The room facilities are a little bit old, the exhaust fan is a bit loud, the heater in the bedroom seems to be broken, and finally the heater in the living room is turned on. Since I was in a hurry, I didn’t take any photos. There are McDonald’s, KFC, etc. nearby. When you go out of the hotel and turn a corner, you will reach the main road of the town."

Northstar Motel ★★★★
"Comfortable motel, probably fairly new, and well-equipped. We only stayed there for one night, on the road from Dunedin to Christchurch, giving us the opportunity to discover the small center of Oamaru, its Steampunk and its penguin colony... A pleasant evening..."

AAA Thames Court Motel ★★★★
"The ambiance of this place was quite unique, with dim lighting and not many electric lights, which gave it a rustic charm. One of the highlights was the ability to cook meals, which added a nice touch of convenience. Plus, there are plenty of shops nearby where you can easily pick up groceries or essentials."

"The accommodation and food was exceptional. James and James obviously take great pride in getting things right with attention to detail and hosting. Characterful house with tasteful decor. The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable bed and modern bathroom facilities. Welcome complimentary drinks and delicious homemade ‘amuse bouche’. Breakfast was lovely - homemade cheese scones, jams and even honey from their hives. The garden was delightful. In all we found it faultless."
