We stayed at the Avenue Motel for one night only as we were in Oamaru to see the penguins. This is a basic motel which was good value and the owners are very friendly. The room was quite spacious and self contained; the motel is quite old but very comfortable. The motel is on the main road about 2km north... More

This place is such great value for money. It is a bit dated, but extremely clean and spacious, and looks like it has just had a makeover. The best part was the owners. They are so lovely that you just really want them to succeed. The customer service was outstanding. They gave us a port-a-cot all made up for our... More

I stayed in the budget room. Apparently it’s called the budget room as it has a microwave instead of a stove. But that’s where the ‘budgetness’ ended. The unit was very comfortable with a large lounge, separate bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. The unit was basic, but very clean, very spacious, and comfortable. The entire complex has obviously had a recent... More

We only stayed here one night as we were in Oamaru mainly to see the Blue Penguin Colony. Our room was lovely and spotless. It was outside of town a bit but not far and was great for our short stay there. More

The location is slightly north of Oamaru main centre, probably a little too far to walk, but very handy by car to the attractions and with supermarket and takeaways close by. This motel is at the lower end so doesn't have anything flash, but is very good value and I had no complaints. More

We stayed in the motel for one night as we wanted to see the penguins in Oamaru. The motel was clean and comfortable and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was a bit dated in appearance but still had everything we needed including full cooking facilities. More

We picked the Avenue Motel via Trip Advisor for a 1-night stop off on the way from Christchurch to Dunedin and to visit the penguins. We were not disappointed. The Avenue was the cheapest motel we used on our trip, and it is an older property, but our unit was well equipped and very clean. There was everything we needed... More

Our stay in Oamaru was for literally 12 hours, and this motel served it's purpose of providing us with a decent room for sleeping. It's clean, and no frills. The shower is tiny (probably 2 ft x 2ft), and each room has it's own small water heater....so the hot water runs out very quickly! The motel is located off the... More

The room was surprisingly clean and comfortable, cosy and spacious enough for us, a family of 4 to have a good rest midway of our journey. Equiped with everything needed in the kitchen, we cooked and enjoyed our dinner and breakfast easily as if we are at home. Alvin & Shirleen are very knowledgeable of the interesting places around besides... More
