Away from the hustle and bustle of the centre of Oamaru, Ali's place was situated at the top of South Hill. With plenty of street parking, the house is a short walk up a private path to the house which is situated on a back section. It would be a short walk in to town down the hill, but a bit longer to walk to get back home up the hill!
The kitchen had everything you would need, including a coffee machine and some coffee too. We had an issue with the shower, which Ali was responsive about. We were only there for a couple of days, so it wasn't fixed before we left but we hear it's fixed now, which is great.
Will definitely check to see if Ali's place is available when I'm next in Oamaru- though it looks like we were lucky it was available when we were in town.
