Very cosy, comfortable, clean and amazingly self contained home stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. Host Jenny was very kind and helpful to take care of guests needs by paying attention to smallest of the basic things we might need handy enough placed at the right corners of the house. Also she was generous to lend us universal adaptor for charging.

    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.

    We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour.

    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!

    the train, the old town, the seals the penguins. The Craftwork pub, the robot shop, the criterion, the kids playground, the farmers market...all doable in a weekend and all within easy walking distance. and a drive to Kakanui is worth it too

    Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint museums, Oamaru heritage museum (pay/donate as you wish) and steampunk museum (NZD$15/pax). both were interactive and we enjoyed it with the helpful stuff. the day was a cloudy and rainy so we opted out of visiting the penguins - they have a live youtube stream of the penguins coming home which we watch. We did visit the penguins tour during the day, which was open to public and saw some fur seals relaxing. To watch the penguins coming home, it's NZD$45 per pax, which we thought was a little expensive. + the weather being bad, we decided to watch them online instead.

    We went for the penguins but could have spent another day wandering around the Victorian Precient, Steampunk HQ and lovely shops of Oamaru. Also nice that it is only 30 minutes away from Moeraki Boulders. Riverstone Castle and Kitchen make a great stop too on the way down from Christchurch.

    Alma is our go-to motel whenever we are visiting Oamaru. The motel is always spotless and the hosts are lovely. Prices are very competitive. It isn't a modern motel so the facilities might not suit everyone and being located on the main road there is traffic noise but I don't consider either of these detract from the charm on offer.

    The location was fine as we were exploring Oamaru. Being an older motel I was surprised the bed was so comfortable, as I have back issue. It was an exceptionally clean room & had everything we needed.

    The property was a beautifully renovated villa. The staff were very friendly and provided a continental breakfast in the morning in the dining room with views out over Oamaru and the bay.
