Our bed wasn’t comfortable, you could hear the people next door

It was a beautiful old property

Pleasant hotel, good location.

Carpark is a bit exposed and needs to be secured. The after hours door does not close its self and lock and was ajar when we re-entered late, any strangers could have accessed all the floors ? The blank screen behind reception looks ugly and needs a big poster picture of the hotel or a lovely room shot that the arriving guests will be enjoying or even a pic of the dining room to encourage dining enquiries, that valuable space is entirely wasted and is the first thing that took my attention when I arrived. Room was very light on decent shower gel etc paper packs not very nice , perhaps wall mounted dispensers in the shower recess would be more presentable and more economical for the hotel.

Roomy Bathroom however the painters missed the back of the bathroom door when you did the redecorating, its cracked, dirty and marked. Needs to be removed to the workshop and given a makeover by one of the handymen you have on staff.

Bar across the road was very busy, lots of drunken antics and noise until late, would recommend getting a room not facing Thames street if you are a light sleeper!

All facilities were excellent, one of the comfiest beds

Ideally would have liked a heatpump available, but those are modcons - I was cosy enough with the window open to let in the cool breeze off the ocean, was nice.

Lovely old building and location right in the heart of the old district is fantastic. Modern bathroom was nice, bed was comfy.

The hotel itself was a bit disappointing, expected a long, flowing historic bar with plenty of character, but got an average sports bar and pokies room which you have at any pub in Australia.

Unfortunately, it was a long weekend, so their bar and restaurant was not open for dinner.

Lovely old hotel, well maintained, parking provided. Coolest lift you ever will see!

Outdated and stuffy

Location good, meals great restaurant staff great

Stayed in March 2025

Room was comparatively spacious and it was generally quiet. There was some disturbance from group tours checking in and out - and slamming doors - but it didn't last long.

It seems like it could use a fresh coat of paint and style update, but it was comfortable and clean.

The location is great and there are some historical features in the hotel.

No water available in room unless we wanted bathroom water, no mini bar. We had to leave and go to the petrol station

Comfortable bed, good shower pressure and great spa bath

they needed to move us the second night to the newer section which was much smaller and the bed was not comfortable.

The architecture of the building was so historically beautiful and the little restaurant was cute and cozy. Good food too! Our first night was a room in the original hotel and was spacious and nicely appointed and the bed so soft!

One of the employees gave me wrong directions to the Oamaru Gardens.

It's a heritage hotel. We checked-in early as our room was ready. We had asked for a quiet room so we were given one facing the parking and not the street. Very centrally located, near the bus stop. You can even walk to the penguin colony.
