289 Midway Motel

📍 289 Thames Street, Oamaru
★★★ 8.6 (97 reviews)

"Our unit was warm when we arrived on a Winter’s afternoon, and very comfortable. Everything was clean and well-cared for. There was plenty of seating and the wall artwork was pleasant and appropriate. We liked the Information folder. The shower was not very powerful but was adequate and the bed was comfortable."

Casa Nova House

Casa Nova House

📍 1 Alt Street, Oamaru North, Oamaru
★★★★★ 9.4 (44 reviews)

"Spent two nights at Casa Nova House with another couple. What a delight it was and our hosts Katrina & Brenda made it even more special with their cheerful helpful service. This building is a beautiful Heritage Listed Hotel and the guest rooms are beautifully decorated and have all modern facilities. The breakfast is lovely and we had dinner in their restaurant which was stunning to say the least. Would recommend it to anyone."

"The room was very clean and comfortable, but be aware that our room's window didn't offer any view and couldn't be opened for ventilation. It was fine for a one-night stay, and the facilities were quite new with unique decor. The breakfast restaurant also had a great ambiance."

"A fantastic room. Very spacious, clean and comfortable. A good kitchen, lounge area, dining area, separate shower and toilet, comfortable bed. Reasonably quiet at night considering it is near a main road and is part of pub/restaurant (although free standing). A good price for the room and we would stay here again."

Casa Nova House ★★★★★
"Our stay at Casa Nova House was an absolute highpoint in our visit to New Zealand, in my case, a month spent on the South Island. From the Old World charm of the house and grounds, which I won't even try to describe since I know I won't be able to do it justice - you just have to experience it - to the warm, generous hospitality of our hosts, it wasn't merely a nice place to stay while exploring the area, it was a magnetic and inviting place in and of itself, one to which you can't wait to return. And there is one reason in particular for that: Brenda and Katrina are the most delightful, gracious hosts I personally can recall from any of my travels over many years. Katrina is a wellspring of information, and not just dry information - she makes it interesting and fun, a real conversationalist. Brenda, too, is a joy to talk to, and her breakfasts are the most delicious works of art, but also hearty and substantial (I can scarcely imagine what a remarkable treat it would be to experience what might be offered up if she were preparing dinner). I could go on at great length, but suffice it to say, you'll be grandly well fed here. This is so much more than a standard B&B and, having stayed at many of them in various parts of the world, I have to say we've never felt more genuinely welcome, as if we were family."

"The front desk staff were incredibly friendly. We were greeted with welcome milk upon check-in and even received handmade cookies. The breakfast in the morning was excellent, a classic Western spread. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and highly recommended."

Northstar Motel ★★★★
"Good motel with clean and large rooms, with a spacious bathroom. Our unit was at ground floor with no view at all except the carpark. The motel has a restaurant where we had lunch and this is convenient. There was some noise from a close park of trucks, but not during the night."

"Good hostel. Reasonable price and well equipped facilities. I would stay here if I come Oamaru again. One bad thing. There is no front desk. So guests always have to be aware of PIN that lets you get inside (even their room). So I had to bring my mobile even when I went to the toilet. If I had forgotten my room PIN, I couldn't open the door of my room."
