This stay was unforgettable. What an amazing and unique place! Michael has thought of everything and left helpful notes to be found throughout the house - it was like a treasure hunt! I wish we had another night or two to spend in the house; even though it was small, it was packed with charm, thoughtfully appointed, and full of amazing surprises. Michael was an incredibly gracious host, very responsive and had good stories to tell for those interested. This may have been the high point of our whole experience in the country.

We helped ourselves to fresh produce from the garden and a well appointed larder to craft a great breakfast in the extremely charming kitchen. I recommend you do the same, even if it seems daunting at first.

If you like fun experiences and want to have a memorable stay in Oamaru, staying with Michael is a must. Definitely explore around the house, you will love what it has to offer.
