Ascot Oamaru Motel

"We loved our stay! Very clean and lovely views. Kids loved walking to the little park, enjoyed the river mouth area and walked the other direction to the sandy beach. Great takeaways from the spot right in kakanui on our second night. Lovely to be able to bring our dog, he was cozy in his crate and loved poking around the yard, which was very secure."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in The Dasher?

The best area to stay in The Dasher is the Central Dasher Village, particularly around Dasher Street and the Esplanade.This area is the heart of activity, offering a mix of boutique shops, eateries, and access to the Dasher River. It's very walkable and provides easy access to the main attractions, including the Dasher Museum and the Bridge of Whispers. Many accommodations here offer views of the river or the surrounding peaks.Couples looking for a relaxing and convenient stay will find Central Dasher Village ideal. You're within walking distance of fine dining, wine tasting experiences, and scenic strolls along the riverbank. The evening offers a selection of cosy pubs and cafes for a relaxed end to your day.For those prioritising outdoor activities and a slightly more secluded setting, the Riverbend area, just a short drive from the Central Dasher Village, is an excellent choice. This neighbourhood is known for its direct access to hiking and cycling trails along the river and offers properties with larger grounds and more privacy.

When is the best time to go to The Dasher?

The best time to go to The Dasher is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is at its warmest and most stable, offering ideal conditions for outdoor activities.During this period, you can expect long daylight hours, often extending until 9 PM, which is superb for exploring the walking trails and enjoying the scenic beauty of the Otago region. The temperatures are comfortably mild, averaging around 20-25 degrees Celsius, making it pleasant for activities like fly fishing in the Dasher River or hiking the surrounding hills. This is also when the local flora is in full bloom, adding to the picturesque landscape. For those who enjoy a more relaxed pace, the summer season allows for leisurely picnics by the river or simply unwinding in the comfortable lodges.Alternatively, the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November) also offer good conditions with fewer crowds and often more competitive pricing. Autumn brings stunning autumnal colours to the landscape, particularly in the vineyards of the nearby Gibbston Valley, while spring sees the region burst into new life with blooming flowers and newborn lambs.
