David
From
New ZealandAn atmospheric and historic building in the central heritage district of Oamaru. The renovations that have been done to meet modern expectations of convenience and comfort have been done with respect to the original. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Facilities are basic but price is quite reasonable and made up for by the character, location and friendly staff of the property. At the time I stayed, it was quiet and parking, although on the street, was not a problem at all.

United StatesWhat a delightful apartment in Oamaru! We thought this was such a cool place, we wished we could have stayed more than one night. Very clean, well equipped, very comfortable- definitely a great choice for the area. There was also a snack left for us which was sweet. Highly recommend, we'd go back!

Room was generously sized and we had a great balcony out the back with seating, where we could watch the bowls club.
Shower was powerful and surprisingly hot!
Well appointed kitchenette (toaster, microwave, kettle and all cutlery & crockery), which was useful during our stay over New Year and we really only had supermarkets as options for food.

Loved that the staff were quick thinking enough to leave our room keys in an envelope outside the office to allow us to check in late. This was really kind of them and I highly recommend Ahuriri solely based on this experience.
The room itself was clean and perfect for one night's stay.

Wiley is a fantastic and friendly manager, nothing is a problem plus his cleaning staff are amazing as well. Nice touch with welcome muffins. Tidy facility's and well appointed in the kitchen. Nice to be able to bring dogs and with the park right next door makes it an exceptional location.

I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum. But my favorite was seeing the blue penguins arriving on the shore at the Penguin Sanctuary at the end of the wharf. Totally worth paying for premium seats.

A discovery really, as it was the most convenient place for a break in our journey but what a wonderful central location it turned out to be to see many surrounding wonders. Each season would have its own reasons for spending time here, which is exactly what I now intend to do.

I liked exploring the river and would have fished if we had stayed. Food at the local pub was good, we didn't try the steaks. There are lots of families who go to Kurow camping for the water activities in the lakes. There is a newish wetland to explore, and others like to cycle the area. The penguins are 90 kilometers away there are a fossil attraction down the road.

It's a very special place to have crayfish and fresh fish at the Fish Wife. It's the only reason we travel and stay at Moeraki. Absolutely loving it.
The Moeraki Tavern is also another fantastic place to eat. I highly recommend both.

The beach ( Campbells Bay) was just stunning for walking and a quick dip. Very sheltered.
Loved chatting to the locals at the market, the dairy and the owners of Kakanui Tomatoes. All so incredibly friendly .
We took our bikes which was great for looking around because the town is quite spread out .
We are coming back

We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour. Steampunk to brewery to little blue penguins. Tees Street Cafe for breakfast and then we were off. I loved the quirkiness and historical charm and would like to go back. I think 2-3 nights would be more fun. Even 4 would be good. Everything close to each other though so still worth it for even 1 night. Magical!

Often overlooked as a passing point to more exotic destination, this little stop over town has a few worthy attractions; the Clay Cliffs, the Ahuriri River, the Hot tub and the Glider rides etc.
It is also near Twizel and Lake Ohau too.

I didn’t see much of Otematata as I arrived late afternoon, had a meal and then retired to my room. The next day we drove on to Geraldine early morning. The countryside is interesting, the views superb, I love the McKenzie country and I’ll return for longer next time.
I ate at the Best little pub and had a very good meal
