Very interesting and quaint decor! Definitely a creative and postmodern perspective on incorporating the history of the building and town into the design.
Built in 1881, Brydone Hotel Oamaru is located in central Oamaru, within walking distance of the historic town center.

It was well located for the Steam Punk Festival a short walk away from the Victorian area. The room was in the annex round the back overlooking the park park, but we could see the sea from our window which was nice. The staff were helpful and chatty.
Really liked the old world feel of the front part of the building, grand staircase, and chandeliers etc.
Bed was comfy, so were the pillows.

There is nothing nice to say to say, we received a tour and then left. Very politely told Rodger to keep deposit and that we’d be looking for somewhere else to stay.

I like the location with a nice walk to the precinct. The bed was extremely comfortable & room spacious. Being allowed to arrive earlier than 2.00 was very convenient. Staff very hospitable. Good kitchen.

The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others).
We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride.
There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage.
Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore.
The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the US

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀
For a last minute booking when there was no accomodation left in Oamaru or Dunedin and the cost I wasn’t expecting much.
My expectations were hugely exceeded, it was no problem for us to collect the key prior to check in time on our way though to Dunedin, the room was spotless (cleaner than some 5 star accommodation I’ve stayed in) and not dated.
To top things off when we got back at 2:30am on a freezing cold night we found the heaters had been turned on in the room something so simple yet so thoughtful.
Would 100% recommend!
The studio is clean, artsy and full of creative objects, bed and pillows super comfy.
Bathroom is large and very clean.
There's a kattle, coffee, tea, toaster and microwave and a nice little area where to have your meal.
Room has both a heat pump and heating sistem and it is very private with curtains and separate access.
Trish and Gary are very welcoming and ready to give you all the info needed about Oamaru.
Price super affordable!
Clean room, it had everything we needed :) kitchen is small but well equipped and bathroom is nice too. There was a functioning new heater and beds were comfy. I especially liked that we could move the double bed, to create a massive triple bed so that our baby doesn't fall off her bed :D (of course, we moved everything back to original position when leaving). It is walking distance to town (even though we drove). Oamaru is great <3
Poshtel is one of the quirkiest (in a good way!) hotels we have ever stayed in. Each room has its own theme - ours seemed to be music, in particular, brass instruments! We loved the vibe, the locations, the facilities, the warm welcome and informal 'self service' breakfast. A perfect base for a couple of days in Oamaru.
Conveniently located motel, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The rooms are very large, so it’s nice to spread out a bit. Also, they give you real milk for your tea and coffee - very exciting!
The location is very convenient for the historic centre of Oamaru. Just a short walk/drive down the road.
The layout was perfect for our family with separate bedroom and living room sleeping area. Easy and friendly check in. Slept great on comfortable bed. While nothing jumps out about the motel it delivered more than expected! Also Oamuru turned out to be the hidden gem of our trip! Super interesting town!
The location of this hotel was perfect. It was a cozy stay with all the amenities. Breakfast is a continental affair. so if you need eggs and meat, you'll need another option. But there were crumpets, bagels, great bread, yogurt, fruit, cereal, etc. We had more than enough to get us through until dinner!
The Brydone is a historic hotel whose location is central to most attraction of Oamaru, The room was small but clean and comfortable with a great shower. The restaurant/café was great and comfortable, just right for listening to the jazz and blues performances we had come to see.
30 minute drive from Oamaru but well worth it. Cute and cozy cabin (former school house) on a sheep farm. Everything you need for home comfort, Wi-Fi, hot shower, comfy bed, washing machine, and basic breakfast. Very welcoming hosts! Love the hens that come and visit!
The best hotel or motel serving visitors to Oamaru. Modern, clean rooms and suites in a historic old building with a century-old chapel attached situated in large grounds. Ideal to hang out in for a day if you want a break from traveling, being quiet and picturesque.
Tiny house on the rise with a fantastic view over the port and bay of Oamaru. Also view down to the historic precinct which is within walking distance . might be small, but comfortable with everything one might need.
The motel is just a stone's throw away from the city centre. The room was very spacious for a 2 person stay with a private car porch. The host was very friendly and offered advice on tips to see the blue penguins.
Our rooms at Midway motel were clean comfortable and very affordable. Host was helpful and we really enjoyed our stay. It's a convenient hotel for visiting the beautiful town of Oamaru. Would stay again.
Great communication beforehand, amazing location for seeing the penguins in town! So much room for a family used to hotels on this trip and having two rooms with couches to relax on was delightful!
The hotel was an old-fashioned architecture building, that has been refurbished. It was located near the city center, shops and sightseeing places. The receptionist was nice and helpful.
We had a little time to discover what Oamaru has to offer, but being in a walking distance from the "CBD" was a bonus. Nothing outstanding in the room. Generally clean and acceptable.
Easy to find (peppermint green), close to Oamaru town center, and a cosy cottage with charming furnishings. Definitely would stay here on a future visit to Oamaru.
