🌟 A Hidden Gem in Oamaru – Truly Unique and Beautiful! 🌟 I absolutely loved my stay at Poshtel in Oamaru! From the moment I stepped in, I was blown away by the stunning design and carefully curated interior – every corner feels like a piece of art. It’s not just a hotel, it’s an experience. The décor is bold, quirky, and elegant all at once, blending vintage charm with modern comfort in the most tasteful way. The environment is peaceful and welcoming, making it the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. You can really feel the thought and heart that went into creating this space. It’s clean, cozy, and so much more characterful than your average accommodation. Whether you're into art, design, or just want a stay that's a little more special, Poshtel is the place to be. I’ll definitely be coming back – this place stole my heart! Highly recommended

    The unit was great. We also had a full kitchen for our use. Very clean and quiet even though it is next to the main road. We had a very good night's rest. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Gave us choices of milk for our morning coffee and offered me the use of the hair dryer before I even asked him. He also showed us where we could get food etc.

    I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum.

    I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum. But my favorite was seeing the blue penguins arriving on the shore at the Penguin Sanctuary at the end of the wharf. Totally worth paying for premium seats.

    A discovery really, as it was the most convenient place for a break in our journey but what a wonderful central location it turned out to be to see many surrounding wonders. Each season would have its own reasons for spending time here, which is exactly what I now intend to do.

    It's a very special place to have crayfish and fresh fish at the Fish Wife. It's the only reason we travel and stay at Moeraki. Absolutely loving it. The Moeraki Tavern is also another fantastic place to eat. I highly recommend both.

    I liked exploring the river and would have fished if we had stayed. Food at the local pub was good, we didn't try the steaks. There are lots of families who go to Kurow camping for the water activities in the lakes. There is a newish wetland to explore, and others like to cycle the area. The penguins are 90 kilometers away there are a fossil attraction down the road.

    How tidy people's property's. Super friendly people. Good food. Lovely works to the beach. Four square store well stocked, and easy to get around. Hampden pub was nice to eat and relax for the whole family. They have games for kids to play, pingpong, table tennis and fus ball. Will go back some day.

    I loved everything about Waianakarua.

    I loved everything about Waianakarua. The scenery, energy, the big spacious outdoor space was beyond me. The room I stayed in was dry, warm & safe. The owners were lovely and accomodating checking up daily on us. It’s a great stay of a spot for individual travel, couple travelling & also for families. The main kitchen & lounge area was gorgeous & comfortable & I will be back definitely.

    We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour. Steampunk to brewery to little blue penguins. Tees Street Cafe for breakfast and then we were off. I loved the quirkiness and historical charm and would like to go back. I think 2-3 nights would be more fun. Even 4 would be good. Everything close to each other though so still worth it for even 1 night. Magical!

    Often overlooked as a passing point to more exotic destination, this little stop over town has a few worthy attractions; the Clay Cliffs, the Ahuriri River, the Hot tub and the Glider rides etc. It is also near Twizel and Lake Ohau too.

    I didn’t see much of Otematata as I arrived late afternoon, had a meal and then retired to my room. The next day we drove on to Geraldine early morning. The countryside is interesting, the views superb, I love the McKenzie country and I’ll return for longer next time. I ate at the Best little pub and had a very good meal
