We stayed for one night in early Jan and would have happily stayed longer.
Real attention to detail by the hosts on making our stay comfortable. (E.g. blanket provided for watching the Blue Penguins, hot water bottle, choice of tea in the room, plenty of breakfast choices).
Excellent rooms and breakfasts, and lots of useful info on the area.

Oamaru offers a backdrop you can't create in Las Vegas or Universal Studios. A town preserved from Victorian times. Whole streets untouched for over 100 years.
Our stay with Marilyn and Don was also unique. They offer a level of service one can rarely find these days. Great attention to detail, anticipating every need and the warmth of welcome.

Oamaru was planned to be just a break in the journey from Dunedin to Christchurch airport and home, but Don and Marilyn revived us with tea and cake and encouraged us to fill the rest of the day with pleasure. Janet Frame's house, the little train, the old town, Annie's tearooms were followed by dinner at the harbour, and two...

What can we say - absolutely wonderful! Nothing is too much trouble and having just driven from Invercargil we greatly appreciated all of the little touches like carrying bags up the stair, hot water bottles at night, turning down the bed and delicious, home-made slices. Don and Marilyn went out of their way to make us feel at home and...

We agree with all the comments from the other reviews. Don and Marilyn were kind and attentive hosts who could not do enough for us . All those little touches such as hot water bottles, homemade cake all made this a very special stop for us . So much better than often faceless hotels. It was also a pleasure to...

Thank you J for your review and kind comments and for taking the time and trouble to post it!.
We're pleased the Itinerary was of assistance and that " Fleurs " lived up to your expectations.
I guess a measure of success is whens ones business is referred to guests friends so thank you for that also, it's certainly appreciated....

The experience started from the first email exchange. Don suggested an iternary for our one night stay, a dinner at Fleurs Place in Moraki bay, on of the top seafood restaurants in NZ, followed by a walk to the Moraki lighthouse to see the seals and penguins, and back to Omaru by 9pm to see the blue penguin returning home....

From a very warm welcome, where you are offered afternoon tea with yummy biscuit slices and cookies, to helpful suggestions to help you make the most of your stay, Don & Marilyn were the ideal hosts. Talk about being pampered and getting 'star 'treatment - they have it down to a fine art!! Hot water bottles and turned down bed...

Marilyn does a great job with the food, it's a wonder I am not the size of a house!
Just remember, you don't live that far away really!

Don and Marilyn blew us away with their welcome, their generosity and their rhubarb. We arrived about 11pm after penguin watching with empty stomachs. Despite the late hour Marilyn happily produced the finest toasties (homemade bread) we've ever tasted. More freshly baked goodies waited for us in our room. The breakfast was probably the most delicious of our two week...

Thank you for your wonderful review AND for taking the time to write it! I hope the suitcase handle is still in one piece!
Lots of people seem to enjoy the Rhubarb, we might have to change the name to ' Rhubarb lodge ", Ha Ha.
I hope your NZ trip lived up to expectations.
Hope you see you again,...

Cannot rate this B & B more highly. Don and Marilyn are the ideal hosts. From a cup of tea and date loaf when arriving on a rainy afternoon, to beatifully prepared breakfasts (choice of great cooked breakfast or tasty pancakes, with homemade breads and spreads), to advice on what to do and where to go, to hot water bottles...

From the time we did our online booking to our departure after a hearty breakfast,Don and Marilyn did everything they could to make our stay in the area full and rewarding. We only spent one night but used their advice to visit restaurants, view highway alternatives and the natural wonders in the region for three days both coming and leaving...
