Housed in a former bank building, this five-star boutique hotel is a wonderful base from which to explore Oamaru and the wider Waitaki Region. Within easy walking distance, you’ll find the Steampunk HQ museum and the vintage galleries and stores of the Victorian Precinct, while the Oamaru Blue Penguin colony is just a short drive away.
Each of the hotel’s 16 rooms has its own themed paraphernalia, such as bowling, snooker, fishing, golf and mountain climbing, and all come with free Wi-Fi access, a TV and a fridge.
Set yourself up for the day with a fresh continental buffet breakfast in the mornings, and take your pick from a handful of bars, cafes and restaurants nearby later on. The cosy communal living room, meanwhile, is a perfect relaxation spot when you’re not out and about exploring.
