A very friendly, welcoming young lady greeted me on arrival. The room was lovely, large, and very clean. Comfortable bed.
Loved the location - it was in a very tranquil setting. May not suit everyone as you need transport to drive to restaurants and shops. I stocked up in Oamaru before my stay. A very restful place to chill out. Take some reading material with you. TV reception?

The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others).
We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride.
There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage.
Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore.
The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the US

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀
Needed to stay the night en route back from Pink concert in Dunedin. Arrived in Oamaru at 1.30am, tired and ready for bed! Opened the door and voila! We were greeted by the warmth of the heat pumps, lights were on ready for us, and the decor was simply beautiful. We fell into the gorgeously presented beds and all - 2 adults and 3 young ones, -and all slept like logs. I feel like making an excuse to go to Oamaru again just to stay there, and have time to really enjoy the harbour views and generous outdoor living area!
A wonderful location , so close to town yet so very private, tucked in out of the wind with amazing sunset views. My wife loved the outdoor bath under the stars . . Every thing was well thought out and we had everything we needed .We had spent our previous 5 nights in a “luxury” hotel in Dunedin but to us this was , though different, a great deal better . Even the bedding and pillows were better and the room size not that much different .A great place to stay .

Roger the host was very welcoming and had provided everything we needed for our comforts. The bed we slept in was the most comfortable of anywhere we have stayed. It was a bonus to be able to chat with other guests in the dining room, something you don't get in motels or hotels. Great view too.
There was the initial shock of our surroundings as it is a house full of incredible stuff but it was more interesting than off putting. An experience we will remember for a long time.
Fantastic little place with a lot of atmosphere! the room had a lot of space, it was clean and super comfortable. The staff was amazing and welcoming, making us feel at hone, as every request was answered immediately. the internet was slow, but the hotel manager warned us before we even knew that there is a general issue related to the entire area, so it’s not the hotel’s fault. the AC a bit noisy, but it didn’t matter much as this hotel is a gem!
I liked the location of The Empire Hotel, it is very close to where my friends live, as well as being close to the Victorian Quarter. The Staff were very pleasant, there is a nice feel/ atmosphere to the place. May I suggest that a couple more tables be put in the parlour, for people to eat at. I liked the Cleanliness too, but not the hard pillow. No problem I will return and will recomend The Empire to others.
The layout was lovely and social. Cosy and welcoming. Beautiful gardens so close to the beach. Shame only spent one night would have loved to have spent more time there. Well equipped kitchen and great decor. Very clean and organized slept like a log. Loved Oamaru too quirky art galleries right up my street. With good selection of restaurants 10 mins away. All good 👍
Thanks to the hospitable and friendly staff it's been for me the very best accommodation in New Zealand. I was very greatful to them even for not being so strict with checking out times, free left luggage room and so on. And Oamaru itself - you must visit the town to understand the atmosphere. Would love to come once again.
This was such a fantastic place to stay in Oamaru. The location could not have been better — right in the middle of Old Town, but tucked off the street which meant there was no noise. The place was wonderfully decorated and had everything you could need, and the fire was a nice touch. Highly recommend.
Creative hotel with all needs met. Good location and close to not only "the history" of the community, but also good restaurants close by (and they give LARGE portions.....we split our Blue Cod meal!!!). The hotel really is unique with all the variety of wallhangings and parking was not a problem.
interesting and unusual hotel - attention to detail was impressive- overall feel was one of luxury. The attention to detail in the room was really good and we felt welcome from the moment we turned up. Breakfast was a casual affair but we’ll set out and good continental choices.
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.
Such a gorgeous house. The bed was incredibly comfortable and cosy. Room was so spacious and tasteful. Carol was a brilliant, accommodating dating host who made us a delicious breakfast the next morning. Best place to stay in Oamaru.
We own 2 rentals in Oamaru. Purpose of visit was to carry out maintenance and to catch up with people I know. The motel was very close to both properties an easy walk to town and reasonable in cost.
Great communication beforehand, amazing location for seeing the penguins in town! So much room for a family used to hotels on this trip and having two rooms with couches to relax on was delightful!
Our room was in the original old part of this classic hotel. It was beautifully renovated with everything one would expect. It is five minutes walk from the intercity bus stop.
Really love this place, highly recommend to anyone who plan to visit Oamaru and stay for one night or more. You will definitely love it!
It worth the money you pay for.
Great location close to the centre of Oamaru, unit was very clean and the bigger of the 2 beds was nice and comfortable. There was a heat in the room which was good.
Easy to find (peppermint green), close to Oamaru town center, and a cosy cottage with charming furnishings. Definitely would stay here on a future visit to Oamaru.
