We had a wonderful stay at Rose's. She knows a lot about where to go in Oamaru. We took advantage of that. We went to Steam Punk (we lóve The Portal, went in three times), the Whitestone museum, the Whitestone Cheese Store (we had a cheese platter) and Fat Sally's (tried the crispy chicken, it was absolutely fabulous :-) ).
Moreover, Rose's house is really a home. She made us feel welcome. The room was comfortable. So was the shower. And we could do a load of laundry.
It was just perfect. So... if you need a place to stay, we highly recommend Rose. And if you do, say hello to Lenny.
