A nice motel. The walk to Oamaru's Victorian Precinct was a little longer than I would have preferred, but otherwise I had no problem. The guest laundry was useful.

We were only able to have a one night stay at this property. We would have liked to stay longer. Wonderful accommodation and Paula was an excellent host. This motel is a short walk from the Victorian precinct and other popular sightseeing spots in Omarau. Our room was very comfortable , very clean and very quiet. We did not hear any noise from other guests in the nearby rooms.
