A tad misleading
Pretty disappointed with condition of this property. It wasn't a few hundred meters from the historic Oamaru prescient that was described in Book a batch. It was cold, with limited living space and very tired condition.

Don't judge a book by its cover!
This lovely three bedroom home suited my mother and I as we were traveling through the area. When we pulled up we were not sure it was the right place as the outside looks under par, however inside this lovely home is all you need with spacious rooms, a lovely lounge, kitchen, bathroom and very gracious hosts. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

This was a great place to stay with frictionless booking and communication. The character and ambience was in keeping with Oamaru which is full of character in the Victorian precinct.

Close to the Victorian Precinct and waterfront. Easy walk to Cucina for an excellent dinner. Lovely and warm on arrival despite being one of the coldest days. Everything we needed for our stay. A very quaint cottage.

Nice old Home
We enjoyed our stay, close to town and the Whitestone cheese factory/shop. Thanks for sharing your home. The Last Post is a must for dinner, great food and service. For the owner.. The Mitre 10 opens at 7:30 am and can be quite noisy along with their security lights, disturbing you if you are a light sleeper. The house's security lights were on permanently, it took us some time to find the switch to turn them off, and the heat pump in the lounge we had trouble getting to work, The TV needs instructions or a freeview box that works.

Weekend away from home
A great central place to stay. We ran out of toilet paper but popped across the road to Mitre10 to purchase some. A drying rack would be handy to dry towels on. We'd rent this house again.
