Rosie is very nice and helpful. Her house is very comfortable, clean, and everything is high standard. She tried best to make you feel home, i.e. the candies and mints, cold water to leave for you. The towels were even warm. Her home like 5 start hotel.

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.

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.

    Loved everything about our stay!! Warm and cosy accommodation with lovely little homely touches. A picture perfect little piece of heaven with gorgeous gardens and with a creek running right through it. Andrew and Jenny are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The highlight was definitely Jennys taking us out to see their beautiful highland cows and llamas. We would highly recommend it for everyone and we will return one day. Thanks again!!

    Braemer House definitely oozes character. It’s not one of those faceless run-of-the-mill accommodations where you don’t know where you are when you wake up. Kerry is good host, happily explains about the history of this great old villa
