    The location was fine as we were exploring Oamaru. Being an older motel I was surprised the bed was so comfortable, as I have back issue. It was an exceptionally clean room & had everything we needed.

    A very quiet motel despite being on a busy road. Our TV wouldn’t work and the receptionist came along immediately and fixed the minor problem.

    The room was incredibly clean. Great location close to town. The motel is set back from the main road and traffic noise was not noticeable for me.
