A nice choice in Oamaru
A great place to stay when in Oamaru. A simple tidy and clean unit. No frills but everything you need and it has a modern vibe. Only wish - for business traveler please get rid of those awful mini ironing boards. Have you ever tried ironing a business shirt on them? Otherwise a great stay.

Liked all amenities and comfort. Great for a one night visit with pet dog. The yard is rather sterile , some flowers in pots would improve the setting. Will definitely stay again.
