The homestay is on the hill in the center of Oamaru, overlooking the entire town and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Unfortunately, the day we stayed was cloudy and we couldn't see the sunrise. 10 minutes drive from the Penguin Center. The cooking facilities in the house are particularly complete. At first glance, it is prepared for the Chinese. Not only have seasonings, but also rice cookers. This is not available in other hotels. If you prepare a large spoon, it will be 100 points.

Guest UserMy stay at Poshtel in Oamaru was excellent overall. The hotel is centrally located, within walking distance of the Victorian historic precinct, restaurants, and shops. It's also a convenient drive to the Blue Penguin Colony, making its location ideal.
The hotel is a converted historic building, retaining a strong vintage feel while offering modern amenities. The room was clean and tidy, with unique and stylish decor. The bed was comfortable, and it was very quiet at night, allowing for a good night's rest.
The staff were warm and friendly, and the check-in process was quick and smooth. They were also happy to provide local travel information. The common areas have an artistic ambiance, offering a distinct experience compared to typical chain hotels.
Overall, I was satisfied with the location, environment, and service. It's a highly recommended accommodation choice for anyone visiting Oamaru. If I have the chance to revisit Oamaru, I would definitely stay here again.

Compact yet charming, with a fully self-service check-in. The location is excellent, roughly a 20-minute walk to the penguin viewing area. Super convenient!

Chinese service, attentive and enthusiastic service, the car encountered some problems, the owner has been helping to communicate on the phone, thank you very much! The room is clean and hygienic. It has its own yard and parking is convenient. The car is parked at the door of the room. The motel is right on the main road, making it easy to get in and out. This is a very nice motel, highly recommended!

The room is very comfortable, the facilities are complete, and the particularly good place is that there is a bathtub that can be SPA, which is so cool! The boss is from Beijing and very talkative. There is a supermarket and a variety of food nearby, which is very convenient.

Guest UserThe sofa bed didn't feel like changing sheets. Because a lot of sand and the sheets inside were nestled together. The room is large and can cook. The bathroom is also very large, in general, the price is very high
