We stay here regularly. A new young couple with a desire to renovate this comfortable property. Extremely affordable, plenty of space inside units and for parking. Comfortable beds with electric blankets, and full kitchen facilities. Close to eating facilities and supermarkets. Great location. Love this little family and their motel. More

Dissappointed with this motel. Very dated and cleanliness was fairly poor. No telephone and heating was insufficient. Location was suitable and reasonably priced. More

Very welcoming hosts and comfortable and clean room. Whilst not the most modern of venues, it was very comfortable, in a nice area and close to supermarket and main routes. Very nice stay thanks. More

Having stayed in numerous motels of the same value within the last week, this would rate as the poorest. The unit was spacious, but could have done with some serious cleaning. Large amounts of dust/mould on ledges and doors, microwave was dirty with an uncovered milk jug in fridge (didnt know how old the milk was). Ineffective heating. No telephone. More

Stayed in the budget room for a night. Great for a stopover in oamaru. A bit dated but everything was in working condition. Quiet location off the main road, free parking directly in front of unit. No charges for below 2 year olds. Free wi-fi!! Extremely helpful owners, kids are absolutely lovely and adorable. Ten min drive to the penguins. More

I booked a budget room but got upgraded to unit with full kitchen, Although rather dated it is comfortable and spacious with separate bedroom and comfortable beds. Although motel is on the main road the units are behind the owners accommodation, therefore blocking alot of road noise, we found it pretty quiet. Supermarket is only a short walk away. Enjoyed...

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
