This property is amazing. James and James are delightful hosts, extremely friendly and attentive. The dinner and breakfast were both excellent as was the room and all the facilities. The history to the house is very interesting indeed. This is a must stay property if you are in the area…

We had a room with a kitchen and bathroom. It was nice and clean. We were even allowed to check in a little bit sooner. It really helped us. It is not far from the center and the botanical gardens are around the corner.

Oamaru is totally different from other towns we visited.

Oamaru is totally different from other towns we visited. The old Victorian centre and Harbour area is really interesting, full of galleries and quirky shops. There are a couple of breweries there but Craftworks is the best, like an old English pub. But it’s the Steampunk scene that is the weirdest and most interesting thing about Oamaru. There’s a great interactive must-visit museum. Allow at least two days so you can visit Elephant Rocks and the Māori rock paintings outside town and a castle on the way to Christchurch. The coastline between Dunedin and Oamaru is spectacular too. Don’t miss the Moeraki rocks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I came for the Victorian Heritage Festival and to catch up with friends. I really love the historic precinct, the harbour and Gardens. They all have an old world charm. People are friendly. The St Patrick's Basilica is really worth visiting.

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
