It is a charming, lovingly refurbished and decorated flat that seems transported directly from the English countryside. Although the house is on the main road, the studio is at the back of the building and very quiet. You can walk to the city centre, but it takes time, so it is better to go by car.

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.

Absolutely cosy wonderful place, worth doing the extra kms. Lovely road to get there. Didn't expect so much comfort in a place like this (slightly remote) with all the amenities you can desire. Welcoming and helpful guest. Excellent for a couple or with kids since there are friendly animals to "play" around with. Would go back without hesitation.

Lakeside accommodation and its gardens were so comfortable, inviting, and serene. Very close to town. If we didn't have places to see, it would be easy to just stay all day.

The accomodation was lovely and the view was supburb. Everything that was provided met our needs for the stay. There are quite a few things to see in Oamaru and the hut is close enough and also far away enough to be removed and private with the bonus of the outdoor bath.

This backpackers was 100% the nicest place I’ve stayed in New Zealand. It was immaculately clean, beautifully furnished and welcoming. The lounge areas were warm, clean and cosy and it genuinely felt like a home away from home. This property is an absolute credit to the owners for the care and attention to detail they put into the place. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. Thank you! Also loved the way the beds were made and the cute penguin theme ☺️

For a last minute booking when there was no accomodation left in Oamaru or Dunedin and the cost I wasn’t expecting much. My expectations were hugely exceeded, it was no problem for us to collect the key prior to check in time on our way though to Dunedin, the room was spotless (cleaner than some 5 star accommodation I’ve stayed in) and not dated. To top things off when we got back at 2:30am on a freezing cold night we found the heaters had been turned on in the room something so simple yet so thoughtful. Would 100% recommend!
