This was airbnb at its best. A great newly renovated room with literally fantastic decorations, new bathroom and a small seating area. The permaculture garden is wonderful. The room is part of a big house, but has a private entrance. The hosts Trish and Gary very extremely welcoming and our nicest airbnb experience thus far. We played steampunk dress-up in the morning and tasted the great homebrewed beer in the evening. They had wonderful recommendations for us and told us where the best penguin viewing spot is and which restaurants they like. Breakfast was also delicious. While Trish and Gary were very welcoming and attentive we felt that we could have as much privacy as we want to. From the house you can easily walk into Oamaru downtown to visit the Steampunk HQ, the Victorian precint, or restaurants. Thanks a lot and hopefully see you again.
