“Spacious rooms, nice decor filled with penguins.
The breakfast was excellent and very comfortable.
The house was so nice and close to the centre of Oamaru that it was a waste of one night.
I would like to stay for 2-3 nights next time!”

Beautiful views of the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean, close to restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping centers and the Whitestone historic area. Walking distance to the Little Blue Penguin Colony. You would have outstanding photographic opportunities if you care to wonder to find.
