3 Paddocks

DebRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Chloe was a great host. The accommodation was clean and tidy, beds were comfortable and Chloe even had the heat pump on to warm the place up before we arrived on a very cold weekend. :) Lovely peaceful location on the edge of the town but only moments away from the main street, where the supermarket, pubs and bakeries will sort out your hospitality requirements. Plenty of space in the lounge to stretch out. Shower had plenty of pressure which was welcomed.

Carrowmore House

LeeareRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay!!! The entire house was so tastefully decorated, especially the kitchen! The house was set in beautiful peaceful gardens and only a short walk to town. It was a cold day when we arrived and our host had lit the fire for us and had left plenty of firewood at the back door for us to use. We remained lovely and warm for the length of our stay. Everything about our stay in this beautiful home was perfect.

Kakanui Surf Bach

LornaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This property is such a gem, it’s a bit like stepping back in time to a proper family bach, but one that has been cared for really well. The position is absolutely stunning; the most amazing view - sitting with the door open listening to the birds and the sea was glorious. And a big walk along the beach below was a great start to the day I cannot wait to come back here, I felt so relaxed after a couple of nights here, I only wish it had been longer. Super easy to drive back to Oamaru, 15 mins tops.
