Fun quirky style, great breakfast
Pros:

Gorgeous old building, really lovely styling in the lobby and throughout the rooms with quirky vintage touches that are very Oamaru! A lovely continental breakfast is also included - even featuring delicious local Whitestone cheeses. Overall we loved our room and our stay!

Cons:

The shower head was a little temperamental (sliding down) and the mattress could have been softer.
