A fabulous B&B

Reviewed By BevTonyAuckland

We loved everything about this B&B. The hosts were really great and provided helpful advice on local sightseeing. They also thought of the small thoughtful matters like warming our room while we were out on a cold evening and providing tea and cookies on arrival. Breakfast was extensive and very tasty. The room was large with an ensuite and large wardrobe.

The lodge , the food and the hospitality in general provided by James one and James two was first class. We had a brilliant stay and the guidance they provided to the sights and the delights of the Oamaru district was a real point of difference for us. We highly recommend this fine property and it’s wonderful hosts.

Wonderful stay above Oamaru

Reviewed By rojjer

We had a wonderful stay at Oamaru House in late February this year! Wish it had been for longer. Greg and Jacqui are warm and gracious hosts at their lovely B&B on the hillside with great views. We loved staying in the spacious suite with outdoor patio area, very comfortable bed and extensive library (which made for some interesting book conversations with our hosts too). Greatly enjoyed dinner at the Portside restaurant at their suggestion and unforgettable experience seeing the blue penguins nearby after dark. We also had a great time exploring the Victorian area, particularly the sculpture and prism shops and we still can't get over the Adventure Bookshop there. We are so glad that we found this community and B&B on our trip from the US and our fortunate timing. Hope to go back for longer!

Very unusual and beautiful old manor house

Reviewed By Gerda P

We booked two rooms, one was downstairs and one upstairs. They were well furnished and beds with heaps of pillows and blankets. Breakfast was with a nice choice of fruit, yogurt, bread and condiments. The owner of the estate is very knowledgeable and gave us many suggestions where to go and to stop on our way to Dunedin.
