Absolutely lovely, quaint, and cozy place to stay. The innkeeper, who is friendly and helpful, has cleverly made all the rooms en suite (good, hot water, fully functional) and built out the attic spaces for small beds in some rooms that I'm sure would be a great hit with many families. Very reasonable price for the quality and the view overlooking the harbor was nothing short of picturesque! Just about a 20 min walk from all the shops (I walk slowly so maybe less for others) and maybe 3-4 min drive so the perfect distance away from the hustle and bustle of town, but close enough to get to the stores as needed. Also a short walk from the amazing penguin preservation - also a 5 out of 5, would totally recommend the premium experience), the Lookout Point, the hiking options... I may never be back but it's a lucky person that gets to visit Oamaru, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity.

Would live here, if I could!

It's a really amazing old building that feels like stepping back in time, with an incredible view of the town. It's a bit rough around the edges I suppose, but considering it's age, I'd say the place is in great condition. Great location too (unless you're walking and don't like hills).

Would come back

Lovely old Victorian mansion that retains it's charm with amazing views over the city and sea.  

Clean, comfortable room with paintings and old pictures everywhere.  Nice bed and a window to catch the ocean breeze.

Rodger was a friendly host, and has put countless hours into this property.  Breakfast is served in a sunroom overlooking the bay, a perfect beginning to the day.  

The most unforgettable place I stayed in New Zealand, do not miss.

Favourite place in NZ

Rodger has done a wonderful job creating items for & restoring his family's historic home. It is in a great location, close to downtown Oamaru & the Blue penguin colony. We really enjoyed out stay & Rodger was very helpful with information & very interesting to talk to. We stayed in the Bessie Clark room. Beds were very comfortable & the view of the city & harbour from the bathroom is superb. 
We loved looking around at all the marvelous wood in the house & the lovingly decorated rooms & common spaces.
Perfect for a couple or a family.

Funky & Fun Example of Restored Victorian Era Home

Room was gorgeous with a view. Lovely character and warm. Very kind Roger who looked after us. Could view Oamaru and Victorian precinct. Would stay here again! Perfect for an overnight or family stay.

Must stay

Stayed overnight last minute booking. Owner was very nice very helpful he knows a lot about the area where to eat, where to drink places for entertainment & to visit a wealth of knowledge all in all a very nice gentleman. And knows so much about the history if his home. Great room very personal very comfortable nice to have a real carpet lol. Beds very comfy my room had a great view out over the harbour. Complimentary breakfast is available I could not because of early start but did view the breakfasts & they looked very good for a freebie. Onsite parking a bonus. All in all a very pleasant stay at a very reasonable price. I would recommend highly. 

Good to go 

A slightly eccentric accommodation but comfortable and clean. This lovely house has had some DIY work to provide ensuites but they are quite serviceable. King sized bed was comfortable. Eclectic furnishings made for a slightly eccentric feel. Large lounge available for dining with pool table as well. Very comprehensive range of continental breakfast options.
Biggest negative was necessity for entry via the host's kitchen area. Slightly chaotic outside area but on site parking available.
Host very friendly and eager to chat.

Distinctly unique experience

This is a great place to stay. Fabulous views over the bay.
The owner has reworked this villa for over 30 years.
Very comfortable... Like a home from home.
Breakfast is included which is a bonus 😁👍. 

Great place 

My first impression was “how funky” as the entrance at front and back have old-fashioned knobs and locks, and the 100 year old house has been restored and converted to a B&B, with some interesting cubbies. My room was scrupulously clean and very comfortable. The windows were super for both light and views. Rodger was very gracious and took time in the morning when I was finished with a continental breakfast to tell me more about the house. It is walking distance to The penguin experience and Steampunk HQ and Victorian District. 

Funky, Comfy and Spectacular Views

Well done Roger.....we loved this place, it's comfortable, it's unique, fabulous views from most rooms, we enjoyed the sun going down with drinks overlooking the town and rogers vinyl records...if you want somewhere welcoming and different, come here....ok, if you want a flash breakfast, have it down the street.....but this place is a joy!  It's a B&B, and the owner is great!
