We had a night here recently.  The hotel was rmarkably quiet and peacful considering it is attached to a tavern.  The room was spacious and well laid out.  It had a small kitchette with enough for a cup of tea and breakfast. Very nice.

Very quiet

We Loved our stay at the Northstar Motel.
The rooms are very spacious, clean and modern. 
The staff are all very friendly and helpful.
Location is good, and there plenty of parking spaces. 
Thank you from the Doherty family.

Perfect stay - would highly recommend

This motel has the friendliest, most helpful receptionists I've ever come across! My husband and I had the pleasure of staying for 3 nights in December and loved it! We hadn't planned on visiting Oamaru, until we discovered that heavy rain had forced road closures on our drive to Christchurch. We came across Northstar purely by accident, and were greeted with the warmest of welcome's by Shirley, and Jill looked after us during our evening meal later that day. They both have so much local knowledge, which we used to our advantage, and after extending our stay due to the on-going road issues, we had the most fabulous stay in the motel and Oamaru!
The room itself was spacious, lovely and clean, with everything we needed. Comfy bed and pillows, and a peaceful environment all contributed to 3 nights of blissful sleep. 
We ate in the restaurant twice, and enjoyed the food very much. The bar staff were lovely too!
Everything about our unexpected trip was amazing, and we're already looking forward to our next visit in 2022. Thank you all for making our stay so special, memorable. It was certainly one of our favourite places in New Zealand!

Super friendly receptionists!

The Northstar is a excellent motel for anyone traveling through or to Oamaru. The room was bigger than expected with a very comfortable bed and a good sized seating area.
The kitchen was very well appointed and clean, with everything you need to self cater. The bathroom has plenty of room to move and a separate toilet which is rare.
Laundry facilities are available at a very reasonable rate as well.
The staff where also very friendly on checkin and checkout, I think it would be hard to beat this motel.

Large clean and friendly 

Great much larger than expected studio room with extra seating.  Plenty of room to relax.  Very clean  with well equipped kitchen with a Nespresso coffee machine.  Large spacious bathroom. Quiet location with minimal nighttime traffic noise.  Great location.  A short drive to the historic area of Oamaru.  Would stay again!

Very comfortable!

Pleasantly surprised by the size of the room and the facilities on offer.  Lovely kitchenette with all mod cons, spacious  bathroom.  Very comfortable stay, would definitely return should we be back here.

Comfortable and spacious

Very large room that was perfectly cleaned. The bathroom was huge and the water pressure was amazing. The kitchenette was well equip. There was a very nice sitting area in the room with a sofa and two chairs. Generally a very nice room that provided an excellent nights sleep and had everything needed. There is a restaurant on site as well as a bottle shop to grab a bottle of wine, beer or other beverages. It was a quick drive to the historic part of town. I would happily stay in the Northstar again. I would happily stay at the Northstar again.

Very large, clean and comfortable

Good value and great amenities fitted out in the bathroom/kitchenette/desk. Very very  large and spacious. Could hear a bit from the unit above. The tiled shower and water pressure was excellent along with the pod coffee machine. This was be an excellent motel if it had a nice outlook of a garden rather than the car parking. Reception seemed surprised to see me when checking in (almost felt rude) but then we laughed about this.

Spacious

Room was nice and tidy enough. Very roomy. We had a downstairs one which are all designed for disabled people. Unless you need it, I’d recommend an upstairs room.

Warning: Don’t stay here if there is a risk of moderate to high southerly winds. The services boxes on the back of the building bang and make terrible noises in the wind!!! Kept us a awake for a good part of the night. 

Highly recommend the restaurant. Great food and excellent service. Real friendly.

Nice and tidy, great restaurant but a warning.

The motel was a little dated but it was clean, roomy, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of space.  It was also quiet inspite of being on the main road.   It's just a pity that the restaurant wasn't up to much.
