Alma Motel, hotel in Oamaru

Boasting free Wi-Fi, Alma Motel is located 1.9 mi south of Oamaru and features accommodations with a microwave and refrigerator.

We had the back unit and it had a lovely outlook and was quiet, although on a major road. It was very good value for money. There is a separate laundry available. There's a carport. A building from maybe the 1960s and entirely adequate to our needs but somewhat basic by today's standards. Friendly proprietor and very clean. It was great to have a kitchen even though we didn't use it much. Double bed in the main room and separate bedroom with 3 single beds.

Federation House, hotel in Oamaru

Federation House enjoys a location in Oamaru, 1.1 miles from Bushy Beach and 24 miles from Moeraki Boulders. This 3-star guest house offers a shared kitchen and full-day security.

The location was excellent if a little elevated with fantastic views over Oamaru. We took the easy option and drove into town, however, it could be walked if you are prepared to tackle the hill on return. Our room was excellent to our taste as was the house, which was built in the early 1900s. Breakfast was adequate and taken in a veranda room overlooking the town. Our host was very helpful.

    The steampunk vibe makes for a unique visit.

    The steampunk vibe makes for a unique visit. Interesting Victorian architecture that is well maintained. Lots of shops and art galleries great for browsing. The public gardens are excellent and a treat while taking my morning walk. Seals are very active in the harbor and always putting on a show. The penguins at the conservation spot were sooooo cute!

    We enjoyed walking around the historic part of the town and also going to view the penguins coming in from the ocean later in the evening. We could walk from our accommodation quite easily. We brought our own food so only had coffee in a cafe.

    Loved the ambience of the area was like going back to my early years of going to the seaside. Has a funky Steam Punk area with some original arts and crafts stores and a jolly fine Bakery. Ding dong

    Oamaru oasis of delight.

    Oamaru oasis of delight. Loved seeing the blue penguins in the evening and even walking home with 3 who then made their way back to their nests for the night. The shops are delightful, so many boutique and artisan products to peruse. Steampunk museum is a must and go there before wandering around Oamaru, as you can spot lots more steampunk influences in Oamaru.

    A town with a surprise.

    A town with a surprise. The Victorian precinct had lots of very interesting shops and artist studio/shops. You meet a variety of interesting people as you visit each and chat to them. The playground near the Harbour was also nicely designed and creatively thought out. Its even got a hamster wheel for people. We missed the Victorian festival by a day and also missed the farmer's market. Would have loved to see those 2.

    Sea front cottage like those in the design magazine. The owners made it for you the way how it would be for them. We could easily stay there a week or two just chill in Oamaru. We are seriously thinking of that next year, a place that truly make your holiday worthwhile.
