This was a wonderful experience. Rosie obviously knows how to receive guests and make them feel at home. Warm hearted, generous and a good sense of humour. A great balance of allowing privacy and offering social contact. The furnishings in Rosie's home are tasteful and create a welcoming atmosphere. 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.

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.

    Greg and Katy were great hosts and made us feel so welcome at The Whitestone. Everything was appropriately set up as our apartment should be…..and lovely soft pillows made our sleep very restful. We loved waking to the chimes of the town clock. The space was quiet and warm with wonderful views spanning the old precinct. What a bonus having an art space and antique shop downstairs to browse within complete with knowledgeable and genuine proprietors. We would highly recommend this space.
