Little Sweetie in the Heart of Old Oamaru

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed one night for our 10 year anniversary and it was perfect for us! Nice and warm, comfy bed, had a great sleep, loved the deck, and great location, within walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go but a nice, quiet area too! we walked down to Del Mar on the waterfront and had dinner, was all very romantic! We were even left some delicious cheese and crackers! Nice touch and much appreciated! Thank you katrina!"

Brydone Hotel Oamaru

10/10 Excellent

"It was a lovely room. Just the right size for our one night stay. We were annoyed that the electric blanket was incredibly hard to find and plug in to use. I broke my permanent bracelet trying to lift the whole mattress to get to the plug on both beds. The heater has 3 different places to make sure it is on (overkill), had to call the desk to get it working. Positives: it is a lovely old hotel with a quirky room system. A few stairs to conquer but also a small elevator. It is very central to everything. A lovely walk up amd down the road to find quaint shops and wonderful old buildings. The people were nice and the cleaning lady was especially perky in the morning. Everyone seemed.to be happy to work there. "
