Oamaru Harbour Nest

ความน่ารักและลงตัว ห้องกว้าง สะอาด วิวดีตั่งอยู่บนเนินเขา และทำเลใกล้กับจุดชมนกเพนกวิน

บริเวณห้องน้ำหนาวไปหน่อย

Great location, cosy and comfortable stay.

Small, cozy sleepout, beautifully furnished. Tiny kitchenette with everything you need (teapot, microwave, fridge, dishes). Perfect location. The host was really nice and helpful.

Great location, lovely host and everything in order in the room. Especially liked the view and the lovely sunrise in the morning. Compact unit but also plenty of space. Enjoyed the books on the town of Oamaru that were in the room.

Just a little difficult to find in the dark as we were delayed getting there. Bit of a climb up so not for people who do not have good mobility.

Lovely wee cottage, perfect for us.

very clean tidy home nicely decorated throughout wonderful views from porch

We happened to stay on a very cold night. The house was very cold when we arrived, and heating was not great. Wall heater was not very effective at sending heat downwards. A heat pump would have provided a much better distributed heat to the room. The driveway up to the house was very steep and limited what we could carry to the house. We would have preferred that this was identified in the initial description.

Private with a view

Others on the property, but didn't see them

Lovely quaint chalet style unit Good tiny kitchenette area Amazing views Able to park on road easily outside address Good communication with host Penguins & Steampunk Museum within easy walking distance

Nothing! (N.B. access is a walk up a steep drive and involves a number of steps, but the view is worth it!)

In der Buchung wurde funktionierendes WLAN erwähnt. Für mich war das extrem wichtig und auch ein Argument, um die Unterkunft zu buchen. Es hat jedoch überhaupt nicht funktioniert und die Vermieterin hat weder eine Lösung gefunden, noch einer anteiligen Erstattung des Preises zugestimmt. Für mich absolut nicht zu empfehlen.

Unfortunately I was in a moon boot and crutches and didn’t realise you had to walk up a steep drive it was not possible to drive to the door But great view and sheltered from the wind very neat and clean

Welcoming, warm and cosy (unfortunately we had bad weather) - lovely little touches like a small bottle of rose fizz, quality cookies and coffee etc. lovely warm shower. Great location with a fantastic brewery kiss done the road.

位置超级好，环境也干净，早晨可以直接看到大海，停车方便。

wifi信号比较差，几乎没有。

The location of this property is so convenient. It's walking distance from Scott's brewery, penguine colony and the historic Victorian precinct. The room was nice and clean. Would recommend.

Great place, we will definitely stay here again when we are in town. Super cozy, comfortable bed, and cute little patio to wind down after dinner.

Maybe I missed it, but it was weird that there was no shampoo or conditioner, just body wash in the shower. The shower itself is great, good water pressure, two of us didn't run out of hot water.

Cute, private little cottage at the right end of town. Not too far to drive to the centre of town and to talk around a score of interesting buildings. This little cottage was perfect for a good sleep, shower and cup of tea. A nice view out over the harbor.

The room is clean and tidy.

The space of restroom and kitchen is a bit small.

Awesome view, great shower pressure.

Being older the drive was a little steep to walk up but the view was worth it.

Nice cottage in a good location

Wifi was very poor and needs an access point added. Wall heater needs to be installed as infra red heater was not suitable

The location was excellent with a superb view. We really enjoyed the local brew bar which was within walking distance. Very clean and comfortable.

The cottage was lovely, well positioned for a good view of the ocean and a wonderfully flowing bush outside. It had everything I needed including a choice of heating for what turned out to be a very cold evening. It would be lovely to return - particularly in the warm summer with glorious views of the old city, wharf and bay. It was also very quiet with a comfortable bed.

It may be that I missed the following information when I was booking. Google maps variously had the address (#49) located in the middle of the park, in the middle of the road and much later, on the right hand side of the road. New visitors should note that houses opposite the park are numbered sequentially (46,47,48,49, 50 etc). To walk from the road where I left my car up to the cottage (although not super far) took a little time, and I might only take one bag rather than two next time. I was a little concerned about my early morning departure, thinking that walking down the short walk down the driveway might be a little unsafe, were the surface to be icy for an early departure, but this did not happen. As it was, there was a good grip on the concrete. I imagine this would only be a problem in icy, wintry weather for more mature travellers. But all to say, did not take away from the rest of the good experience.

Heather sent a text as we were travelling, providing information and the offer of meeting on site if required.

Great communication, host is very welcoming. Cottage is well located

The room has clean and fresh soft furnishings and decor. Sea view.

The low quality mattress needs replacing - it is a bit saggy and I woke up with lower back pain. The bathroom has the tiniest vanity basin I have ever seen and the shower head droops. The electrics seem a bit dodgy with extension leads, power board and double adaptors joining everything together. NO WIFI.

Quite conveniently located near the Blue Penguin colony and Old Town. Affordable price point to meet my needs.

Gorgeous views, the cottage felt like it was secluded and was nice and cozy. The bathroom was very chilly at first, but we found a small heater that soon warmed it up nicely.

Couldn't find a light for the deck, so walking up or down steps in the dark was a bit difficult. However, the torch on our phone soon solved that problem. We would happily stay again at this property.

Convenient location, nice view, the host is nice.

They used outdoor heater inside, only street parking available, the bathroom is quite tiny and old.

No heater in bathroom

Location within walking distance downhill to town,Victorian Precinct,penguin colony and eateries.Private unit behind house with access up steep drive. Comfortable queen bed. Tiny kitchen with microwave and utensils plus a sink which is a plus. Great shower in tiny bathroom. Amazing view from inside and from covered verandah. Exactly as advertised. Would stay again.

Great location with view over Oamaru historic centre and bay. Well priced. Good access instructions and communications from owner. Clean.

Cold on frosty night once heater turned off. Intermittent internet connection.

Great view & cosy space.

Street parking & steep incline to entry

Had everything we needed cosy very comfortable bed nice view of the sea and welcoming owner

Bathroom was a bit small and had to park on the road at the bottom of the driveway

Very cute

For someone elderly the steep driveway from parking the car on the road was quite difficult

Great location, lovely and warm!

Service was fantastic. Room was comfortable and clean. Appreciated the complimentary bubbles. Seeing the sunrise on the deck, hot coffee, was amazing.

Lovely little cottage with unobstructed views of the ocean. Well furnished for a comfortable stay! Appreciate the many arrows directing us to the cottage.

Close to the harbour

Its a bit old. For the price i would have preferred to spend a bit more to get something better

Very close to old town so we could walk down in 10 minutes. Lovely view from balcony. Warm room with good heater which they had kindly put on for our arrival. Quiet location. Had a great sleep.

Parking was in the street so had to carry cases up steepish drive.

Clean, tidy and comfortable. Easy to find. Convenient location. Thoughtful touches. Friendly host. Lovely bed. Felt spacious for a compact place.

A light on the deck outside would have been good. Bit of confusion over wifi details but that was sorted out easily.

Property was at a walking distance into town, so very convenient. The property heated up nicely with a a heater, heated blanket & additional blanket, making it a cosy stay. Nice touches with cookies & wine. Host was very helpful over messages. Shower was very powerful and warm. Was nice to be able to access Netflix on the TV too.

We found the pillows and mattress quite uncomfortable, which was a shame.

I love this place, such a wee haven.

Excellent location. Lovely view and close to heritage part of town. Spotlessly clean.

Glad it was not a wet day for carrying our luggage up

View is fantastic, in walking distance to the Harbour

The veiw , nice touch wine and chocs,

Steep driveway and very uneven paths

Very nice place with a very good view

The overall experience was great

Great spot close to the centre of town and to the penguins. Very good value for money. Host was really great in accommodating my requests

Couldnt find it initially. Its round the back of the house with that address. Could be better signed.

Beautiful view of the Pacific ocean, from a nice private deck. Great location to walk to the old city, just down the hill, and also visit the seals and penguins, on the pier. Easy walking area.

Super clean, comfy bed, quiet, private with a lovely view. Tucked away behind a main residence. Easy walking distance to the tourist area... eg. restaurants, Steampunk HQ & galleries. We loved our short stay. Host, Heather, was very easy to communicate with & left little treats for us. Thanks!

Awesome cozy nest with beautiful views. Super comfy bed, best sleep ever. Excellent communication with the owner which was great as I was way later than expected. Would definitely stay again 😊

Beautiful setting. Comfortable room. Friendly host. Wonderful town.

Nothing I think of

Accomodation was first class, very clean comfortable well appointed room in an awesome location, communication from Heather was great.

In road parking not ideal but not a problem. Wifi wasn’t available/working during our stay.

We absolutely loved the view and having bubbly , snacks and breakfast on the deck. The host Heather was so lovely and very accommodating. Bed was comfy, shower was great. The location was perfect being close to the old precinct and the harbour. We absolutely loved our stay.

Can't think of any thing we didn't like.

Location was perfect

I loved it , it was a perfect wee cottage for me

What a pleasant surprise to see this cosy little unit at the back of the main house. Very modern place which had been decorated very well. We had the pleasant surprise of having a lovely view of the harbour from our balcony which was a great asset for a property placed up on a hill. We were very happy to have stayed here and hoped to return in the not too distant future. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the penguin colony, late in the evening, and saw nearly two hundred of these beautiful creatures return home from the sea.

We absolutely loved this place. If i had to give any comment, I would say for travellers who like big airy rooms in large surrounds maybe this is not for you.

Fantastic location overlooking the town and sea. Owner was really helpful.

Fabulous, quiet location - a small but well equipped apartment, tucked into a secluded back section, perfect for a couple for a short stay - yet just a short downhill walk to the historic wharf-area town centre and likewise to the penguin colony. Lovely view out to sea, yet blissfully private.

Tiny but well equipped kitchen - not suited to full-on cooking but fine for snacks, salad, nibbles and drinks. An extra table surface for those would have been welcome, but it was fine.

A lovely, cosy, very comfortable spot for an overnight stay. Views were amazing and we enjoyed the proximity to the harbour. Host was very helpful and responsive.

It is a lovely cosy and comfortable wee place...ultra clean. I loved the chocolates and wee bottle of bubbles in the fridge (even though I didn't drink the wine).The sea view is wonderful. An easy walking distance from the old part of town.

I found it a little challenging to access the property as I am still recovering from knee replacement surgery and the driveway is quite steep....however, I was kind of expecting that given Oamaru is a hilly town.

Excellent

Another outside light by the door.

Easy to find. Good location. Nice view

All good

The view was lovely. Bed comfy.

The steep walk up to it. Difficult to find. The very tiny handbasin in the bathroom.

Great location great views was perfect

Cozy and nice

The matress is sunken on 1 side. Easy fix is to rotate the matress from time to time

A great view and proximity to the Victorian precinct

Super clean Excellent communication Good location

Nothing Room was great

Great location

Difficult to communicate with host (although she was pleasant). Arrived after dark and had to wait for host to come guide us to the room. Difficult to arrange, with delayed replies. More difficult by the fact that the Nest is in someone’s backyard. Uncomfortable bed with option to be heated by electric blanket (too warm for whole night) or outdoor-style exposed element heater (very bright).

Loved our stay here, was really impressed with Heather our host. She sent us a lovely message after booking introducing herself, we arrived and the heater was on (very cold day), a lovely welcome note, a nice bottle of bubbles and a few chocolates. She has really thought out the small details. The cottage was lovely, very clean, had everything you needed for a great night in on a cold evening. Will definitely be rebooking next time we visit the South Island.

Nice touches from the host a hand written welcome note, couple of little chocolates, premium coffee satchels and heater was on to warm the roo before I arrived.

Comfortable warm space. Easy check in and check out.

Great location with good views. Small bottle of bubbles was a nice touch. Good hot water pressure.

Not well insulated for winter. Access, in the dark in particular, is not easy for anyone with impaired mobility. Mattress wasn't comfortable. Soap dispenser in the shower didn't work well.

Very comfy bed, great shower, lovely view

A very comfortable unit with wonderful views. The compact kitchen had everything we needed the shower was great and the bed very comfortable. The unit was extremely clean and sunny. There was a small sheltered deck area with great views. The unit was a short walk to the old area of Oamaru so very convenient to bars and cafes etc. Communication with the owner was excellent and although we only stayed overnight on the way to Dunedin,we had a lovely time. The complimentary wine and chocolates were a surprise and much appreciated Would recommend without hesitation.

There was nothing we didn't like

The view over ocean and heritage precinct, proximity to precinct, clean comfortable and homely

Steep access could be difficult for some but we managed it!

Great view.
