Offering garden views, Federation House is an accommodation situated in Oamaru, 1.8 km from Bushy Beach and 38 km from Moeraki Boulders.

Needs some serious cleaning, smells very musty and the beds/pillows etc need replacing. The front door lock should be fixed, expecting guest to come in the back door through the hosts personal and not very clean living space is not ok. A good declutter would also make the place much more appealing. This could be lovely but at the moment is not

The house was like a step back in time, with all the modern amenities that make things comfortable! The bedding was lovely and of a beautiful quality and the small kitchen and outdoor area perfect!

    This is the most fully equipped homestay I've ever stayed in. There's even Netflix on TV. In particular, the dishwashing detergent used is the best brand, Finish. There are also enough towels and a full range of tableware. The room is very cozy and has many paintings.

    Location was perfect. Beautiful outlook to the harbour and ocean, from the balcony. Within easy walking distance to the town centre, all the beautifully restored heritage buildings, art gallery and museum. Locals are very friendly and helpful. Fabulous coastline with seals and penguins on show. Highly recommend the Tees Street coffee shop just meters down the road. We were fortunate to meet Lilly, our host, who is a fun, relaxed personality, and a great artist, as you will see by her art displayed around the cottage.
