It was wonderful having a LR to relax in and then go upstairs to bed. Dawn was amazing and made us muffins, pancakes and a yummy fruit mixture to top our pancakes. It is a very homey place and yard has all kinds of beautiful flowers.

The Wansbeck offers a barbecue.

A large room with a view! Our room was upstairs and had a great view toward town and the ocean. Carol our host, made sure we were comfortable. And as well, ensured we started each day with a hearty breakfast. The location is ideal - only a 7 or 8 minute walk to the heritage area. Highly recommended.

Federation House B&B Inn offers a homely choice of accommodation in Oamaru. Guests enjoy free WiFi.

This historic character house has been renovated to provide modern hotel-style facilities, with fully furnished bedrooms, quality bedding and ensuite bathrooms. Rooms with disability access are available.

Continental breakfast is included in the room rate.

The host was super nice. He showed us around the house and even showed us the best view rooms. Top floor middle rooms the best room. Breakfast was included. The bed was really comfy. It's really close to everything that you can walk there. Parking is available on site. Activities: I recommend the steam punk and a look around the park and sea side. I do not recommend the penguin viewing in Oamaru. Better to go to the one in Dunedin.

    The location was good, a nice quiet street with sea views . Was good having off-street parking. Although under the owners' house, we only saw them on arrival, so very private. We were glad we had 2 nights as we would not have seen much of the town if we only had one night. Oamaru certainly has a lot to see. Really recommend walking down Harbour Street so many interesting shops and galleries.

    A wonderful stay! The décor and appointment of the bedroom (ensuite) and private parlour are absolutely beautiful, with so many extra special touches that made our stay (home baking on arrival, a selection of drinks, chocolate fish, and the heater on in our room so it was cozy). Breakfast was a real treat. Great location, and our host Jacqui pointed us in the direction of dinner options, must-dos for our short stay, and where to see the penguins. Cannot recommend the Vicarage enough!

    Great location in centre of town. Beds were clean but room and property was grubby and in need of some renevation. However, it is a back-packers accommodation so expectations are pretty low. I would be happy to stay here again as it is cheap and convenient.

    Host was friendly and the little extras, like afternoon tea etc, was much appreciated. Warm comfortable accommodation, with guest lounge area down stairs. Property was very clean, private and quiet. Excellent breakfast left by our host.
