Waianakarua Hotels

"This is my first time staying here, I normally stay elsewhere in Oamaru but felt like a change, excellent service from the moment I arrived, every business needs a staff member like the one I met, awesome rooms with themes, very comfortable, great shower pressure, unfortunately I had to leave early so couldn’t partake in the continental breakfast offered but I will be back, my new go to, highly recommended!"

"Nice motel "

"The motel is very good, I think it is the best choice in Oamaru. It has spa bath, very clean and all the other details are also very good. Definitely will come back. "

"It was a lovely room. Just the right size for our one night stay. We were annoyed that the electric blanket was incredibly hard to find and plug in to use. I broke my permanent bracelet trying to lift the whole mattress to get to the plug on both beds. The heater has 3 different places to make sure it is on (overkill), had to call the desk to get it working. Positives: it is a lovely old hotel with a quirky room system. A few stairs to conquer but also a small elevator. It is very central to everything. A lovely walk up amd down the road to find quaint shops and wonderful old buildings. The people were nice and the cleaning lady was especially perky in the morning. Everyone seemed.to be happy to work there. "

"Great stay, basic but everything we needed."

"Location is good and close to town."

"This is an excellent motel. Quiet and warm It has older decor, but it is clean and functional. The owner is a lovely lady very welcoming and helpful Would definitely recommend this motel. "

"It is a retro property, very clean and very hospitable hosts."

"Very accommodating manager. Couldn't do more to make us comfortable!! One criticism is the shower was tricky!! Hot water didn't come on easily. We eventually got it going after seeing the notice on the wall. The shower floor was very slippery, as the curtains didn't keep the outside dry, so quite dangerous when wet. I had to dry the floor leading to the toilet to prevent my husband, and myself, from slipping. Needs an air vent/ expel fan. The kitchen could benefit also from an expel fan. "
