For the NZD90 I paid, the room was par for course, if a little dated and worn. All rooms are single storey, and you park right outside your room, so carrying your baggage is very easy. The receptionist was honest and told me about problems I may face with the internet. She even gave me a back up wifi hotspot... More

We were unable to stay here as they were fully booked but the owner very kindly found us very good accommodation across the road. We did dine at the Courtyard Restaurant beside the Heritage Court Motor Lodge and were very pleased with our choice. Andrew, the Chef and the lovely waitress could not have been more helpful. The food was... More

We stayed here for three nights - we'd just come from Christchurch and wanted to see the Janet Frame house near the centre. It's conveniently on the main road and a five-ten minute drive or twenty-minute walk to the centre, where the attractions - apart from the many Frame connections - are the historical area, the harbour, Oamaru Public Gardens,...

Spacious and plenty of room in the bedrooms and sitting area. Kitchenette a wee bit small when there are four of you! We enjoyed the use of wifi but data used up quickly ? Staff friendly and helpful. Okay for an overnight stay. Needs some decor update but clean and tidy. The Lodge is situated out of town so no... More

Spent one night in sunny Oamaru. Hosts were friendly and nothing was a problem. Considering it is on the main highway my unit was very quiet. Great bed, bathroom with spa bath and a small kitchen capped off a nice unit. I had a nice meal bought to my unit from the on site restaurant.

my husand and I recently stayed for one night over the Christmas/New Year period and were pleased with the size of the room even though the walls were a bit dated (fake wood panels). The room and bathroom was clean and tidy and for $100 a night double we felt it was money well spent. We were provided with a... More

What a joy to find this place! The manager was extremely professional, cheerful, and helpful. Great value for money. We stayed in room 9 on the ground floor for 3 separate nights as we were travelling around this part of New Zealand. The room was clean, smelled fresh, we were able to park just in front of room.
