Grand whitestone Oamaru hotel in good renovated condition. Large very clean Victorian bedroom with modern bathroom. We had dinner and drinks in the bar and dining room. The friendly barman doubled as the waiter and went out of his way to make our evening special.....thanks

The hotel is conviniently located at the heart of the historical centre and with a walking distance to see the penguins. Rooms are a little bit dated but reasonably well mantained.

Excellent location. Bed was very comfortable. The room was clean. The toilettries were of nice quality and contributing to a charitable cause. I appreciate that. Due to our schedule, we did not try the restaurant. Overall, we were very happy and had no issues.

Due to the little blue penguins’ late arrival, we arrived at the hotel doors after 11 p.m. I called the posted number, and a gentleman checked us in. Our room is lovely, and the bathroom is spotless. I had a good night’s sleep.
