Everything incl breakfast

Very clean, staff super helpful and friendly
Wonderfully unique boutique hotel with fantastic staff and in the rooms you can see they really understand travellers. Comfortable bed, nice lounge area within the room, and everywhere you look there are interesting memorabilia that make the visit even more enjoyable.
Nothing all was great
Loved staying here again. Rooms are lovely, the staff super helpful (and thank you for fixing my mistake when I booked) and the breakfast is amazing. So beautifully decorated. Thoroughly recommend. Classy.
Nice and fancy hotel - room was clean and neat. The interior perfectly matches the steampunk charm that can be found throughout the town and is designed with a great deal of attention to detail. The breakfast was very good. It is mainly vegetarian-focused, but there was plenty of fresh fruit and basically everything you could wish for. A great selection and a very pleasant start to the day.
The hotel is located on a main road, so there can be some traffic noise, especially at night. I am now quite familiar with the local car-tuning scene and could almost recognise some of the cars by the sound of their exhausts – or by their taste in music, which was not exactly close to mine. Fortunately, the hotel provides earplugs for guests, which was a thoughtful touch.
The Old town quarter and history
Nothing
Loved the service and quirkiness of the property
Very fun boutique hotel, in a central location to town, nice staff. Each room has it's own funky decor! Breakfast was a continental style with fresh cheese, yogurt, fruit and breads.
If you stay in the King Room, the rooms are very small, not much room to move around in either the room or the bathroom
Clean, comfy rooms. The interlinking rooms worked really well. Nice breakfast.
There were no wardrobes and no parking.
Such a beautiful hotel. Amazing decor and the rooms are a great size and well laid out. Loved the personal touches of the home baked cookies and the books on the desk. The staff were so lovely and the breakfast was delicious. Absolutely nothing to fault about this hotel.

the bed could have been softer to sleep on. a nice stay overall
Posizione ottima con parcheggio lungo il marciapiede davanti, puntuali per il check in alle 14. Colazione con opzioni dolci e salate, piccola ma completa di tutto. Lo staff molto cordiale!
Great location
Nothing place is great
Closed to the centre
The service, the breakfast, the room was not clean at all, the bed very uncomfortable, the noise, the personnel at reception.
像一座小型博物馆
早餐选择单一,没有热食提供,除了一台烤面包机
Breakfast was good it is one of the things that encouraged us to stay there saved carting food ie if staying in a motel Location is fine
The mattress was not the best .very neat and clean hotel , staff very helpful
Staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was lovely, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was great.
Nothing
Beautiful decor - very funky interior. Comfortable bed and spotlessly clean.
A bit noisy from 5am when the Woolworths warehouse staff next door started clattering loading trolleys round and talking loudly.
Fantastic quirky hotel. Will definitely be back!
Nothing
Loved the decor and the use of old photos and sports gear for the room theme . The reception area and lounge were a quirky visual feast . Love a heated towel rail when it’s winter . Plenty of choices of fresh fruit and cereals, yoghurt and teas for breakfast .
I found the mattress a bit springy, but comfortable. My night was disturbed several times by the child in the next room screaming . The soundproofing between rooms seemed a bit sparse . The road noise noted by previous guests was not an issue for me .
Excellent location. Super clean room and complex. Comfortable bed. Fabulous breakfast, and amazing staff.
A lot of street noise especially from the main highway. Ear plugs beside our bed didn’t help, sadly.
Friendly staff, so clean!, very tastefully decorated and amazing breakfast 😋
Unique
Great location, we walked everywhere. Parking near the hotel is free after 4pm till 9.30am the next day. We chose to check in then park the car a block away where parking was free.
We were way on a girls weekend. Although the glass in the bathroom was opaque it faced the bed. So it felt a little odd at times.
Great service well themed rooms great breakfast.
Poshtel was a quirky hotel with interesting memorabilia and themed rooms. Breakfast provisions were good too though it was only continental. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
It was noisy in the mornings as our room was right next to the Woolworths loading bay. There was no off street parking and bathrooms were a little too small.
Wonderful ambiance & nice staff. Excellent room
I loved the unique styling using beautiful treasures from the past.
Property was so gorgeous and eclectic! Rooms were all individually themed. Found out we got upgraded from the petite room which was such a nice surprise. The manager is the sweetest person and made the stay feel so friendly. She remembered a lot of the guests names.
No onsite parking but if you time it right there’s car parks outside the building that aren’t paid after 5:30pm
Fabulous quirky hotel in the centre of Oamaru with friendly helpful staff. The themed rooms were cool and they let you peek in the unoccupied ones. We had the Antarctic room.
The staff, the beautiful bed and fabulous bathroom.
The noisy trucks roaring past the front door No Vegemite!!!!
前台非常热心!停车也很方便。下一次来还愿意住这里
The vintage look of the room, big spacious bathroom and of course the big comfortable bed with the most comfortable pillows ever. The owner was easy to deal and was very accommodating to our needs.

Such great rooms, was great to be able to see the different ones and the art. Friendly reception Yummy breakfast
Clean and warm. Perfect for a single night stay in winter.
Everything
Great location and really good feel about it. We felt very welcomed on arrival and very well looked after. The continental breakfast selections were excellent.
Me and my Husband came too stay and was pleasantly surprised at geat location welcoming host 😊 very cool art style and nice and private.Loved the woolen blanket and very warm room. Nice and clean as well.
Could hear people in the hallway but that's outside of hosts control.
Fantastic rooms with wonderful decorations and fittings. They have thought of everything for a very comfortable stay.
Prime location in town and easy walk to harbour and heritage centre. Great staff Rooms are all delightful themed by antiques and interesting finds
Nil
Excellent location. Friendly staff. The room was clean and very comcortable
It's the 3rd time we've stayed here & it's improving each time, & have already booked in again for another few days during Sept. We love the decor it's so different & original. Also loved the new breakfast set, up, it's very well presented.
N/P
It was interesting comfortable and eclectic plus owners and staff were approachable and friendly
Desayuno libre con bastante variedad. Te elegis lo que deseas y lo armas a tu gusto. No esperen un desayuno 5 estrellas pero funciona muy bien!
Que el hotel se apaga post 7 pm. Estaria bueno que tengan abierto el bar o el lobby para mas huespedes. Post 7 pm es cuando la gente vuelve de las actividades y cuando mas lindo es ver el hotel con gente y vivo.
Spacious, very comfortable and great facilities. Good breakfast, welcoming staff..
Upgraded to corner room, could hear trucks at night.
Lady at the front desk was so warm and welcoming, made our stay a treat! Facilities were impeccable - great cleanliness and lovely lounge. Was nice to have space outside of the rooms, and the opportunity to mingle with other guests.
No complaints! Maybe outline parking recommendations in booking confirmations? But otherwise was seamless x
The location was great, but the decor and staff were absolutely fabulous.
This space intentionally left blank.
We loved the style of the Poshotel and enjoyed talking to the owner who was hosting during our stay. It was quiet, the rooms were immaculate and we loved the breakfast set up and choices. It's very close to Countdown so it's also easy to stock up on whatever you need for your travels.
Some people might want dedicated parking though in a town like Oamaru it's not a big deal. If the bar could be staffed it would make more of the communal space (which is lovely) and the offerings in Oamaru are limited nearby for bars etc but I think that's more to do with getting suitable staff than not seeing the opportunity.
Neat, tidy and cosy. Nice simple breakfast
Nothing
Fantastic helpful staff. Loved the theme details of the hotel and the room (very appropriate considering we were in town for Steampunk festival). The breakfast was amazing! Fresh bagels, local cheeses, local full cream milk, fruit galore, excellent cereal and home-made muffins. And of course freshly brewed coffee! Our room had its own entrance and off street park right outside. We will definitely stay again next year for the festival.
Noting, no notes!
The deco was excellent
Nothing
The location was excellent. The room was small, but tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff was friendly and efficient. Despite the property did not have own parking, there's plenty of parking on the street that was convenient.
The room was probably decorated by someone very tall. the mirror over the sink and shampoo/conditioner were hung very high.
Our forth stay Still as great as our first stay
Great location. Friendly staff.Breakfast was adequate.
No view from my room.
Beautiful building, spotlessly clean, super comfy bed, friendly professional staff,

Staff, room and shower were positives. The staff was very helpful, spacious room amd a great shower.
Continneal breakfast was not the best.
A property with personality, whilst delivering comfortable accommodation. Warm welcome, good continental breakfast, and comfortable bed.

Interesting boutique hotel that occupies an old bank building. The room we had featured one of the original vault doors. Well furnished and comfortable room with excellent and friendly staff! It was too bad we only stayed 1 night.
Nothing really comes to mind.
Super friendly staff, ambience, fantastic shower!. Great location. Comfortable bed.
I wouldn't say I didn't like it but the chair in the room wasn't very comfortable
Quirkily decorated, each room with a different theme. Atmospheric foyer. Modern shower and bathroom with robe.
No place to hang/ unpack any clothes. The filter coffee at breakfast was brewed too weak for my liking.
The whole experience was outstanding. Each room is unique in its setup, we had aving music room. The staff were so friendly and warm, the continental breakfast was ideal. The hotel was spacious yet cosy.
Nothing!
very quirky, each room is themed, General area and bar is also quirky. Just loved the vibe. awesome staff, well positioned in the centre of town.
Cleanliness, staff were friendly and location was great.
A wee bit noisy on road at night with trucks but a nice touch was earplugs were provided free by the bed.
Sehr detailreich mit speziellen Themen eingerichtete Zimmer
Das Frühstückbuffet war zu klein
Really central and had a boutique feel to it. Loved the themed rooms.
A very warm welcome by the staff. I also liked the tasteful decoration with a vintage vibe and centrally located in the city centre with many restaurant options close by. The room is clean, very spacious bathroom.
The breakfast spread fell short of expectation. It was minimal for a 5-star boutique hotel. Inconsistent room facilities. We booked two rooms of the same type, one comes with a bath tub but not the other.
地理位置很好 非常喜欢房间的设计
