This house exceeded our expectations! It is much larger than we expected from the pics. It is close enough to Oamaru that you can walk to the penguins (although you will have a walk back in the dark) or several restaurants. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the shower was huge with great water pressure. Two bedrooms are facing the road, but they have black-out curtains, the road is very quiet at night, and the bedsheets are very comfortable, so you'll sleep very well. We also loved lighting a fire in the wood stove on the cool nights to add a little coziness to the house. We loved it and would stay again!
