United KingdomThis property had everything on offer. It was so well thought out. Dawn had really put herself into her guests shoes and thought if every comfort one could possibly want. My family only had one night but we had such a happy stay, especially compared to places we have stayed in on our onward travel.
We couldn’t believe just how spacious the house was upstairs. The bathroom was new and beds very comfortable. We would definitely recommend others to stay here. Thank you Dawn, you were an amazing host.

The rest and recreation begins with the meeting with the amazing man Kerry- whose peaceful presence, the beautiful and honorable hospitality, the willingness to help in everything - worthy of appreciation. Well equipped rooms, comfortable bed, beautiful lawn, everything is clean and well maintained. A pleasure.

Very impressed with the friendly host and the extra effort put in to make us welcome. Upon check in we were offered milk for our coffee and complimentary homemade muffins. The room was large and spotless. They even put a chocolate on our pillow. Would definitely recommend this motel.

We enjoyed our visit to Omarau immensely.
We enjoyed our visit to Omarau immensely. Went to Steam Punk city and to see the penguin colony. Then the boulders. All we enjoyed and would recommend as a must see. The locals were very friendly and the shopkeepers very helpful. We were only there for three nights but really enjoyed our time. Would love to visit again sometime in the future.

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.

Four square store well stocked, and easy to get around.
Hampden pub was nice to eat and relax for the whole family. They have games for kids to play, pingpong, table tennis and fus ball.

I loved everything about Waianakarua.
I loved everything about Waianakarua. The scenery, energy, the big spacious outdoor space was beyond me. The room I stayed in was dry, warm & safe. The owners were lovely and accomodating checking up daily on us. It’s a great stay of a spot for individual travel, couple travelling & also for families. The main kitchen & lounge area was gorgeous & comfortable & I will be back definitely.

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

Oamaru is totally different from other towns we visited.
Oamaru is totally different from other towns we visited. The old Victorian centre and Harbour area is really interesting, full of galleries and quirky shops. There are a couple of breweries there but Craftworks is the best, like an old English pub.
But it’s the Steampunk scene that is the weirdest and most interesting thing about Oamaru. There’s a great interactive must-visit museum.
Allow at least two days so you can visit Elephant Rocks and the Māori rock paintings outside town and a castle on the way to Christchurch.
The coastline between Dunedin and Oamaru is spectacular too. Don’t miss the Moeraki rocks.

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.
