The property is a beautiful historic building with a peaceful atmosphere, and the room was spacious, spotless, and full of character. The hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming, making the stay feel warm and personal. Overall, a fantastic experience — I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone visiting Oamaru.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment for 4 adults. Room decoration but is spacious and clean. Owner was friendly in providing tourist information and offered us some cake she just baked. The temperature dropped when we arrived, the heater worked well to keep us warm. Free wifi. Walking distance to some restaurants.
