Beautiful spacious apartment, I don't think the air BnB pictures do it full justice. The bed was super comfortable , I slept so well. The bathroom was very big and the power shower was the best we've experienced so far.
Check in was so easy, although the property is located a little way out of the centre onto the country side, we were sent very clear photographs of the drive way and what to look for, we didnt have any problem finding it.
The location is a little way out of the centre, but the beautiful scenery and the peace it all worth it we drove into town to use a laundromat in the afternoon and back again on the evening to go and see the blue penguin colony . After the 3 trips out we felt we really knew the road and area like locals!
There was a good booklet in the property with tips for local restaurants and cafes - as we were only staying one night it was the sort of info that we could have done with a day in advance to be fair. We had stopped at a cafe in the town before we went out to our accommodation, we had an all day breakfast at the star and garter, it was OK but I didn't care too much for fried eggs on garlic toast!
The blue penguin visit was a real success,. Maybe because we visited in the spring .and there weren't too many people there,. We had unrestricted view and saw loads of little penguins quite close up.
A very good stay, just a shame we only had the one night as I think Oamaru had a lot more to offer .
