The house was absolutely gorgeous and Dawn was a wonderful host, breakfast was a continental breakfast and was absolutely delicious. I can't wait for our next stay in Oamaru!

There was a problem with the sliding door but Dawn sorted it out for us.

Old English feel, cosy, clean, everything was considered, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, friendly outdoor cats. Very handy to the town.

A proper partitioned wall between the main house and guest section would be handy to reduce noise for both sides. My kids can make a bit of noise so we were a little conscious the main house might have been disturbed by us. Every other thing was amazing.

This property had everything on offer. It was so well thought out. Dawn had really put herself into her guests shoes and thought if every comfort one could possibly want. My family only had one night but we had such a happy stay, especially compared to places we have stayed in on our onward travel. We couldn’t believe just how spacious the house was upstairs. The bathroom was new and beds very comfortable. We would definitely recommend others to stay here. Thank you Dawn, you were an amazing host.

Nothing. Everything was great

The place was very clean. There were little touches to make our stay more pleasant (blankets, games, books). The hosts have put emphasis on quality of the stay which made us feel at home and a touch of luxury!

We were welcomed to the flatlet with scones and cream - yummy. The place was comfortable and relaxing. We had booked an evening meal that was outstanding! Upstairs was just as inviting with old fashioned charm. Breakfast was well catered for too. It was a lovely place to stay and exceeded the amount we paid.

Angled bottom step of staircase. It proved troublesome everytime for my other half, yet I seemed to not notice it! Maybe the last step needs a different colour carpet so it doesn’t blend in. When we returned from penguin tour at night, we struggled to see to put the key in door and then find the light switch which was located on the opposite side of the room.

Paid extra for my partner for fried breakfast, it huge, cooked well and tasty! Excellent. Landlady suggested about visiting the blue penguins - so we did - what a great tip off was a super evening. Easy to find, safe off road parking and quiet position away from road.

Very nice "homey" accommodations in a quiet location. The hosts are very welcoming; and breakfast that was provided for self-serve in the morning was varied and nutritious.

Nothing I can think of.

The place was just so beautiful with cozy decoration and comfy settings. The owner is very friendly and considerate, offering breakfast with selections, also thoughtful toiletries. We all enjoyed our stay.

There is not much not to write here. Its a neat place with beautiful soul people. One bit was the absence of a kitchenette and a sink to wash some dishes and fill up drinking water was little meh. After finishing the water in the bottles going to the owners for water may not be liked by everyone. Was fine with us though.

The hosts Sam and Dawn are very warm and nice people. They were very inviting and helpful with the arrangements. The house part where the guests reside has separate entrance and a garden so quite quiet and peaceful. The bedrooms and the toilet upstairs were neat and stocked up with the necessary supplies. So no issue of oh I forgot to bring my face tissue or hand towels.
