"We washed and waiting our clothes to be dried in the dryer machine. It’s about room checkout time. The owner let us wait until the dryer completed, although it passed the check out  time. We were grateful to her kindness and helpfulness very much. "

"Our stay at Casa Nova House was an absolute highpoint in our visit to New Zealand, in my case, a month spent on the South Island. From the Old World charm of the house and grounds, which I won't even try to describe since I know I won't be able to do it justice - you just have to experience it - to the warm, generous hospitality of our hosts, it wasn't merely a nice place to stay while exploring the area, it was a magnetic and inviting place in and of itself, one to which you can't wait to return. And there is one reason in particular for that: Brenda and Katrina are the most delightful, gracious hosts I personally can recall from any of my travels over many years. Katrina is a wellspring of information, and not just dry information - she makes it interesting and fun, a real conversationalist. Brenda, too, is a joy to talk to, and her breakfasts are the most delicious works of art, but also hearty and substantial (I can scarcely imagine what a remarkable treat it would be to experience what might be offered up if she were preparing dinner). I could go on at great length, but suffice it to say, you'll be grandly well fed here. This is so much more than a standard B&B and, having stayed at many of them in various parts of the world, I have to say we've never felt more genuinely welcome, as if we were family."

"The front desk staff were incredibly friendly. We were greeted with welcome milk upon check-in and even received handmade cookies. The breakfast in the morning was excellent, a classic Western spread. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and highly recommended."

"Clean accommodation and nice location. Got food takeaway delivery service menu, classic kitchenware for toast and coffee. You may find plunger coffee pack at the back of the tea pack tray."

"Stayed for one night. The room was clean and tidy with complete facilities. You can cook."

"I stayed at this at this really cool hotel that’s been around for more than a hundred years. The room was comfy and clean. The restaurant was nice, and the receptionist was super friendly."

"Comfortable motel, probably fairly new, and well-equipped. We only stayed there for one night, on the road from Dunedin to Christchurch, giving us the opportunity to discover the small center of Oamaru, its Steampunk and its penguin colony... A pleasant evening..."

"Good hostel. Reasonable price and well equipped facilities. I would stay here if I come Oamaru again. One bad thing. There is no front desk. So guests always have to be aware of PIN that lets you get inside (even their room). So I had to bring my mobile even when I went to the toilet. If I had forgotten my room PIN, I couldn't open the door of my room."

"Helpfull polite staff Definetly value for money Would stay again happily"
