A Stone's Throw to Oamaru Central

Helen is such a great and thoughtful host! She is putting so much love and care into everything. A very personal experience. The place itself had everything you might need and more.

Fabulous views, sumptuous beds & linens, immaculate rooms with tasteful and thoughtful touches, super friendly host who went out of her way to make us comfortable. The bathroom and bath is divine with the most incredible view out over Oamaru and the ocean.

We loved that Helen was super warm and welcoming, there was everything you need for a comfortable stay and even more, loved the cozy atmosphere, the cleanliness and the view!

Nothing

Wonderful view Comfortable beds Magnificent host

The host tried to think and supply everything you might appreciate whilst staying at her emaculate property. From electric blankets to chocolate biscuits and fresh juice and fruit..adjusting the heating to meet your needs.

Personally, I find it challenging driving up steep hills. Maybe it's my age being 70. I like easy access. But the view was worthwhile.

Quite

Had to leave

所有都非常滿意，尤其是Helen，友善、幽默、可愛、貼心 備品齊全、家裡打掃的超級乾淨，超級！！！

If you travel to Oamaru, which we highly recommend, the best place to stay is "A stone's throw to Oamaru central" wonderful housing unit with a spectacular view and a lovely hostess. We were sorry we had to leave.

Very comfortable with generous breakfast.

Very clean, comfortable accommodation. Generous breakfast provided. The host is very friendly and helpful. Great location very close to town and all the sights.

Nothing

Would have been better if there was a sink in the kitchenette. And the fridge was a bit noisy

High quality fixtures and furnishings.. Modern and clean. Very quiet. Elevated situation with some good views.

No real kitchen area.

Lovely house. Great host who’d thought of everything you might need. Very friendly and we enjoyed chatting to her - and getting local insights. Breakfast provided. Felt like being hosted by family.

No dislikes at all.

The property is part of the owners house, though self contained. It is modern, well equipped with comfortable beds and a fantastic bathroom. The owner gives you space and was in no way intrusive, however provided helpful advice on things to see and places to eat.

If you are walking it is at the top of a very steep hill - though that does provide great views over Oamaru. There are two bedrooms, though we only used one. Unfortunately there is no dedicated kitchen/breakfast space and you eat at a breakfast bar in one of the bedrooms.

Diese Unterkunft ist wirklich außergewöhnlich. Man hat einen tollen Blick auf das Meer. Helen ist herzlich und hilfsbereit. Absolut zu empfehlen 🫠

The rooms were nice and private. Outstanding bathroom! I would have loved to have a bath but we didn't have time

We couldn't fault it. We can't think of anything else we could have wanted or needed

Word can not describe wot met us when we walk through the front door two old boys on a weekend away for a car rally frist room you walk past is the bathroom five star all the way from the beautiful freestanding bath to the big shower views across the harbour then the two bedrooms both with great queen size beds not your concrete motel beds Everything is there that you could ever need and sum And now to are host Helen many us so welcome and I will be tell all my friends and family about the experience we had and won’t be staying anywhere else when I go to oamaru

Everything

Hospitality, cleanliness and facilities

The location was great with an awesome view of the harbour from the bedroom window. Beautiful courtyard to sit and enjoy some downtime. Beautiful bathroom with a wonderful soaker tub. The host Helen was a pleasure to get to know.

Helen ist ein absolut bezaubernder Host, wir hatten viel Spass. Das Appartment ist sehr geräumig, außergewöhnlich gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Das Frühtstück war ebenfalls sehr gut, Helen hat gerne unsere Wünsche berücksichtigt.

Das Appartment geht zur Bergseite raus, leider hat man keinen Blick auf Seeseite und die Stadt.

Stunning location, beautiful linens. Stunning decor and wonderful ammenities. Mush thought has been put into ensuring your stay is comfortable with lots of little extras.

Helen the host was very welcoming. Everything was very clean.

Most of the things we didn't like about our stay was probably our own fault, we should have looked into said accommodation better. FYI its not a whole holiday home, its part of the owners home. Also the kitchen facilities are in one of the bedrooms, and the outdoor dinning facilities are the only common areas, no real sitting inside. We learnt a valuable lesson, do you homework!

Helen was a superb hostess, with every little detail catered for.

Just an easy chair in 1 of the bedrooms

Location was quiet and beautiful. Helen is a generous host and very welcoming. The accommodation itself was luxurious and extremely clean and comfortable. Lovely to have continental breakfast options as well. Beds are so comfortable, great shower pressure, and opportunity for a beautiful bath.

Beautiful BNB. Lovely bedrooms and bathroom. Kitchenette had everything needed. Host was friendly 🙂

Our mistake, we didn't realize there was no living space. A couple of chairs to sit on inside would be good.

Helen was so friendly and welcoming. Good parking, comfortable beds and every thing we could possibly need on hand.

Great location Excellent views

We stayed in New Zealand for a month, and this was our most enjoyable stay! It's modern, spacious and spotless. Helen was extremely friendly and thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and make us feel at home. There were only two of us, but there are two bedrooms in the guest suite and it would be very comfortable for four people. Plenty of breakfast options, continental style, were provided in the room (there isn't a separate kitchen), along with some extra snacks. There's a nature reserve just across the street, and it's possible to walk into town if you can navigate steep hills. Bonus feature: the best toilet paper anywhere in New Zealand!!

There's nothing we didn't like.

Clean, comfortable beds and easy access.

Spacious, well appointed, fantastic attention to detail.

Lovely breakfast, with lots of fresh fruit. Also our host made a fab coleslaw surprise later in the day. Nothing was too much trouble for Helen.Totally recommend staying at her B&B. Quiet, private and very handy.

No complaints at all

High quality fixtures and fittings, comfy bed, quiet location, friendly helpfull owner. Ample continental breakfast. All as described.

Helen is the most amazing and friendly host. She is very organised and the property is immaculately clean. The breakfast supplies were excellent. We enjoyed our stay so much, it was like going to stay at a favourite relatives place.

Nothing to dislike.

Inadequate facilities for preparing and eating meals. No sofas or comfortable chairs inside. Dependence on host for washing dishes. Limited hot water.

Helen was very welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Great attention to detail throughout the space. Large, luxurious bathroom.

Set high on a hill above Oamaru but unfortunately no views from the rooms and not really easy to walk to town.

everything

nothing (a comfy couch or armchairs would be a welcome bonus, was there room).

It was an excellent location, very well appointed, we wanted for nothing

Nothing to not like

Super modern super clean super host. Anything you think you might need was there - a real home from home and everything was of the best quality. Helen worked really hard to ensure her guests were content. High above the town but easily accessible and peaceful .

Nothing but a car is an advantage

Wonderful host, comfortable bed, great bathroom- lots of attention to detail.

N/A

Helen was a excellent host, the rooms are lovely and clean, had everything we needed for our stay, thank you Helen for making us feel welcome

Superb property, great location, fantastic hostess. Helen went the extra mile and made our stay extra special.

There is nothing to dislike about this accommodation, very clean and modern with lots of little extra touches.

Loved everything about it in terms of location, facilities, friendliness of host

No indoor sitting / relaxing area

Where do I start! The location is stunning. The space is sparkling clean, the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional and all the snacks to go with it. Helen is an incredible host and made my stay 10/10. I can't wait to come back.

I wish I stayed longer! There is nothing you can't like!

Lovely welcoming place to stay. Extremely clean and well appointed. Comfortable bed. Having breakfast provided was great. Wonderful bathroom. Helen is a wonderful host. Lots of information about Oamaru and places to eat. Would highly recommend her place.

Nothing not to like.

Helen is a wonderful host. Arriving on work placement and not knowing the town it was so lovely Helen was able to help me so much. From picking me up from the bus, to providing me with fresh food from her garden to making sure I was comfortable and taken care of every day. The accomodation was more than comfortable it met all my needs and more and was top notch

There really wasn't much I didn't like.

Excellent in every way

Nothing

Helen has thought about everything. She is super helpful. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The continental breakfast was excellent.

Nothing. Everything you need for a break away.

Everything was lovely, Helen helped with everything i needed

Nice location

Spotlessly clean. New build. Comfortable rooms. Host made us feel very welcome. She provided generously for breakfasts which we could make in the room.

We didn’t realise it is just a part of a house without a living space. Thats our bad for not being more careful when booking! So we would have liked a dining area for our weekend - but the facilities of 2 bedrooms (with a tea-making space and fridge etc) and a shared bathroom were excellent.

Very quiet location & only a short drive to town. Spacious apartment with large private bathroom. Plenty of little extras & breakfast supplies for a great start to the day.Helen is very friendly & makes you feel very welcome & right at home.Highly recommend & would love to stay again.

Nothing.

Very good location, excellent facilities & off street parking. Helen was a fantastic host who went the extra mile to make our stay memorable. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely bedrooms, with everything you could want and a lovely courtyard to eat breakfast in the morning

The property is located up quite a large steep hill, it is not a problem, there is parking at the top, but I think it is something for guests to be aware of.

Helen was very accommodating and welcoming. She went out of her way to make my stay me memorable and comfortable.

I liked everything

Helen was very friendly and accommodating. Awesome communication and lovely breakfast. Snacks and fresh fruit very much appreciated. Comfy beds :). Amazing views of Oamaru and the sea from 1 bedroom. Would be nice in the summer to use the outdoor facilities.

For our stay, we would have liked to have had a lounge or sitting area. We discussed this with the host and understand not all her guests require this. .and that in the summer the outdoor area is utilised.

High standard of dwelling. Fridge and breakfast bar well stocked with necessities.

Sharp corner of shelf low down over breakfast bar. Bath ran out of hot water but this is likely a one off. Property up very steep hill no wY of walking to town or beach.

Amazing host, Helen, who was attentive to our every need and went above and beyond with local advice and special treats. Our stay was warm, comfortable and relaxing.

Nothing comes to mind.

Helen, the owner is amazing! She got me gluten-free bread & cereal and almond milk! The beds were so comfortable, I've Never slept so well!! The shower was amazing!! I'm going to buy one of those shower heads for my place back in Australia. I wish we had time to use that beautiful bath! My dad said waking up to the ocean view every morning was incredible! Everything was perfect! 22/10

The only thing that isn't something you can fix is that the bathroom tiles are freezing. Wouldn't change a thing!
