Very interesting and quaint decor! Definitely a creative and postmodern perspective on incorporating the history of the building and town into the design.

Purplewolf

It was well located for the Steam Punk Festival a short walk away from the Victorian area. The room was in the annex round the back overlooking the park park, but we could see the sea from our window which was nice. The staff were helpful and chatty.
Really liked the old world feel of the front part of the building, grand staircase, and chandeliers etc.
Bed was comfy, so were the pillows.

FAQs about hotels in Oamaru
What Guests Said About Oamaru:

The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem.
The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others). We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride. There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage. Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.Parry - 8.0Scored 8.0

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore. The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the USLesleyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀

- From $70.26 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 631 reviewsThis 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 ☺️
