Loved the space
Didn't like that we couldn't secure the door between the main house and our space, host was in our space when we were out sightseeing, knew this because the curtains were open and the bin emptied.
It will be my 2nd home from now on.
I was under the impression when I booked that the stay included cooked breakfast, however it only included continental breakfast.
Sehr sauber, bequeme Betten, die Kinder fanden Netflix super, die spartanische aber sehr funktionale Küchenausstattung (Heissluftfriteuse, Reiskocher…) Sehr kellere Pancakes zum Frühstück, am 2. Tag noch besser Muffins und Scones!
Kaltes Wasser in der Küchenzeile
如果想要家的感觉,住这里准没错。 双层公寓,设施齐全,空间巨大。 重要的是卧室风格是欧式格调的装饰,像电影里场景,很喜欢。
1. 含早餐但因为说是厨房装修,提供的是冷餐食物,提前放在冰箱里的。 2. 楼上卧室没有空调 3. 马路门口没有招牌.大门有点往里斜着开口,开车很容易错过
裝潢很華麗可愛,床非常舒服
搬行李比較麻煩一點,因為是石頭路所以不太好搬,但是不影響居住體驗!
整體歐風舒適感覺。可愛的兩隻貓咪。

Excellent location for the sporting eventing we were attending and accessing the foreshore area. Lovely and clean with kind and friendly hosts.
I was slightly self conscious that because we sheared a wall with their family home that the hosts could hear us (including all the noise that comes with holidaying with children), so couldn't relax as much as I would have liked. I think this was an issue with me and not them.
Beautifully set out property, and rooms and facilities were excellent. Hosts were very accomodating and welcoming

Dawn and Samuel are very warm and welcoming hosts. There was so much provided for breakfast and there were so many artsy details around the house.

雖然是1樓, 但入口在屋後, 行李需經過一小段碎石上舖著石片的路, 行李多的旅客較辛苦搬

Eine lieb eingerichtete Unterkunft bei einer sehr sympathischen Familie. Optimale Lage um die blauen Pinguine zu erkunden. Parkmöglichkeiten direkt am Haus.
This is a lovely property - clean, well decorated, feels like in Europe. The garden is beautiful and carefully maintained. The host made scones for us for breakfast (part of the breakfast). They are the best scones I’ve ever had.

Our stay was absolutely amazing and beyond expectations! We stayed in a separate unit, which provided great privacy. The kitchen is incredibly well-equipped with an air fryer, rice cooker, and a high-quality toaster. The garden at the entrance is stunning, but the highlight was the interior—the decor is so exquisite. We especially loved the beautiful decorative plates on the bay window and the delicate embroidered tablecloth. Both bedrooms had carefully chosen, high-quality linens that were just lovely. It’s clear the host puts their heart and soul into this place. Every detail was so thoughtful, and the fresh donuts and milk provided were such a warm and sweet touch! I highly recommend this place to anyone—it is a true gem.
There is no induction cooker.
The location was good. The accommodation was spacious. The bed was comfortable. The host was very nice.
Healthier offerings at the continental breakfast would have been appreciated.
typical continent breakfast
Breakfast was plentiful and clean room
Pillow wasn’t comfortable
Delightful place, so glad that we found it. Motels were all booked but this had vacancy at a good price. We would not have considered it otherwise. Excellent breakfast and helpful host.
Regret that we didn't discover the spa until too late!
Well appointed rooms. Handy to town.
Low ceiling in bedroom and no hot water in basins.

Satisfied with everything
Lovely space, lots of homely touches. Well stocked breakfast supplies.
Cosy and comfortable. A total home away from home experience. So much attention detail like fresh flowers on the table and warm fluffy robes to lounge in. Every convenience thought of and having a gluten free option was no trouble at all - thanks for the delicious gf hotcross bun. A lovely space to relax on and the garden was a delight. Super comfy beds made for a wonderful stay.
Nice clean comfy great breakfast
A bit far from everything but all good
Well maintained, good breakfast supplied.
Getting luggage in was a bit difficult.
Garden
Good location , lovely garden . Nice house .
Disappointed by breakfast provided . Pictures showed cooked food , ham , pies , fruits on the profile . All we received were hard boiled eggs which were frozen in the fridge , yogurt , cereal , bread and instant noodles . Cooked breakfast was an addition of 25 per person which was not mentioned in the booking . The reason why we booked this place was because some reviews mentioned excellent breakfast . We should have just booked a standard airbnb .
Lovely homely accommodation, great continental breakfast facilities, spacious bedrooms, beautifully clean, a beautiful location and gardens, and very friendly and accommodating hosts.
Le style british de l appartement
L absence de coin cuisine pour faire chauffer un plat
What an absolute treasure. We loved our stay , so welcoming and such a nice place with character and charm. It's a bonus having the breakfast too. Thanks so much.
A very comfortable bed and reasonably well equipped kitchenette (air fryer and microwave- no hot plate). Very friendly and helpful host, and a great continental breakfast.
有提供早餐,可以停車,房東友善
行李搬到2樓很重
Die Wohnung war einfach zum Wohlfühlen. Sie war sehr sauber, gut ausgestattet, nette Gastgeber, mit Liebe zum Detail.
Es gab nichts zum Aussetzen...
The ambience, the warm welcome, the extra special little touches.... everything ♥️
No negatives
Diese Unterkunft war irgendwie besonders, so old english . Das Frühstück war ausbaufähig und der defekte Whirlpool war ärgerlich aber zu verkraften. Ansonsten für 2-3 Nächte zu empfehlen.
The lovely house plus host 100 out of 10
Nothing it was awsome
We had a fantastic stay at Century House in Oamaru. The house is beautifully restored with so much character, yet very comfortable and welcoming. Everything was spotless, spacious (2 floors with 2 bedrooms!), and thoughtfully appointed, with very lovely touches that made it feel both elegant and homey. Gorgeous gardens! The host and owner, Dawn, is very generous and attentive. She provided us not only with warm blankets on a very cold penguin viewing night, but also with a delicious homemade dessert and breakfast items that take into account our food preferences. Dawn is a true super host! The location is also ideal: close enough to easily explore Oamaru’s historic precinct, harbor area, and wildlife spots, yet peaceful and quiet at night
Very comfortable and just a beautiful property with every convenience you need provided by wonderful host. Also great tips for local sights and experiences to see and do. Thank you!
Nice self contained flatlette. Very friendly host. Beautiful garden. Good breakfast Loaned blankets for our trip to see the blankets. Thank you. They were needed

民宿主人很熱情,房間佈置的很溫馨,真的就像家的感覺。另外自費的晚餐也好吃!
1. 環境精緻整潔,又有家的感覺,備品,簡易廚房及住房衛浴設備,早餐都很齊全 (雖然沒有電爐無法煎煮,但有氣炸鍋,烤麵包機和微波爐)。後院很美,繁花盛開,更有幾棵結實纍纍的果樹,整體氛圍令人放鬆。 2. 門前大路開車直走五分鐘就到海邊,離小企鵝保護區和古蹟區都很近 3. 接待的小主人和家貓都很可愛和善。因為沒有預訂晚餐,這次就是入住時打過照面,之後直到退房都互不干擾,頗適合像我們這種不善交際又想住B&B的旅人
1.一樓起居區以薄薄隔間緊鄰主家廚房,隔音不甚佳,時常聲氣相聞,有點不習慣 2. 2樓唯一衛浴洗手台排水很慢
Beautiful and serene place. Thoughtful decor. Kind and generous hosts.
房子非常可爱,有一个美丽的花园,而且是和房主分开的单独一间,房主住在隔壁一间但从不会打扰我们,这样既为我们提供周到的服务,又确保了私密性,房主非常贴心,由于我带了两个孩子,她铺了粉色的床单,还准备了玩具小熊。我预定了这里的晚餐,非常美味!如果再来奥马鲁,我一定还要住这里。
洗澡水不够热,可能因为我们有五个人,我最后一个洗的时候水不太热了。
Charm of the garden. Attention to detail in the accommodation. Friendliness of the hosts.
Nothing amiss.
床、棉被很舒服、溫暖
廚房設備偏少
Breakfast was good - 3 choices of cereal, crumpets and yoghurt followed by a massive Danish! Shower was great. Clear instructions given re parking.
Would of like to bring the cats indoor... But that's just because I'm a cat person...
We spent three wonderful days in Century House. Samuel gave us a warm welcome and we really felt at home . The flatlette is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Located at the main street to Dunedin it is easy to find but very .quiet. Everything was provided for a delicious breakfast and Dawn, our host, pampered us with homemade cake every day. She also cooked a privat dinner for us. Thank you😊 The hosts were always friendly and helpful. We highly recomment this accomodation.
Nothing, everything was Fine.
Even nicer than in the pictures - spacious, comfortable, clean, well-equipped, beautiful outdoor area, lovely and thoughtful owner.
Everything was excellent
Everything was wonderful. The garden was beautiful in January, the cats were friendly, and the homemade food provided was excellent. Beds were comfy and the kitchenette was very well equipped. Our boys particularly enjoyed the jaffle maker.
Upstairs was a little hot if one forgets to open the windows.
Great stay
Thanks for a lovely stay. Nice location just out of town but within easy reach of local amenities.
Ruhig, schön eingerichtet, freundliche Gastgeber.
Loads of space, clean, quiet, beautiful garden
Nothing
Beautiful and quaint … very well laid out and set in beautiful gardens. The hosts are very friendly and for a small additional charge a cooked breakfast was supplied which was delicious.
A lovely warm welcome. Dawn showed us around and left us with plenty of choices for breakfast and more. A beautiful garden in which to sit and relax and very comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed our short but sweet stay. The Oamaru Penguins were a hilight of our whole trip.
Zeer ruime woning bestaande uit woonkamer en 2 slaapkamers. Is met name interessant voor grote gezinnen. Alles was zeer schoon. Er is een veranda en tuin en de ligging ivm bezoek aan Blue Penguins is prima
Het is eigenlijk geen B&B want het ontbijt stelt niets voor. Boterhamen voor in de toaster en fles jus d'orange. De woning zelf is Victoriaanse stijl en erg mooi alleen hebben de eigenaren rondom het huis een enorme troep liggen, je kunt het zo gek niet verzinnen of het ligt rondom het huis. Dit doet echt afbreuk aan de beleving. Nu een 8 anders een 9
Really comfortable place that felt quite spacious. Easy access by car to everything in the Oamaru area. Two very friendly cats in the very pretty garden.
Lovely comfortable flat at the back of main house. With all the facilities of home.
Nothing
Friendly host and nice breakfast
The landlord is very helpful. She provides a great breakfast including the instant noodles. The house is very clean with lots of spaces . Location is great. Too much good things around the house. We spent the great thanksgiving eve here.
No hot water in upstairs sink , but it didn’t bother us that much. We can use the downstairs sink and hot shower. The landlord put sign to inform us that it restricts by the city. so I still rate 10 for this property.
花香鳥語,包早餐
不可以煮食,有微波炉,樓梯最前半階容易絆腳。屋內多雜物。
特意选了这家和主人共住一个house的房源,我们都想感受一下当地居民的氛围 来到我们一点都没有失望,房东很热情,并且也很有边界感,互相都不会被打扰,房子很温馨很温馨,每间房间都有细节,洗手间的设施特别完备,有一种想要一直住下的感觉 强烈推荐预定房东的晚餐,房东做得很好吃,蔬菜能看到是在她自己的菜园种的,口味适中,不咸不淡,我们一家人都体验得很开心,吃完刚好出门看企鹅,时间很恰好,是一段美好的回忆
後花園非常美麗,環境讓人放鬆舒適。民宿裡的貓咪不怕生又超可愛,為住宿增添了不少療癒感。室內佈置溫馨漂亮,很有家的感覺,住起來相當舒服。 唯一小小的不足是房間與浴室位在二樓,沒有電梯,如果行李較多或較重,搬運時可能會稍微不方便。不過整體住宿體驗仍然相當愉快。
部屋(別棟)がダイニング、キッチン、寝室と有り、各部屋は広く綺麗だった。寝室は2部屋あり選択できたのは初めてだった。
特になしです。
Dawn was very friendly and approachable, giving us some tips on local facilities. She clearly takes care to make sure that travellers are made welcome and looked after well. The bedrooms are excellent and the cooking/dining facilities were just what we needed. This accomodation is easy to reach and well placed for exploring the surrounding area. It is within half an hour of the Moeraki boulders and Moeraki village but very close to the centre of oamaru.
