Brian is a most gracious and welcoming host, justifiably proud of this unique home. We spent a warm and very comfortable night here. Would love to have stayed longer. Wonderful garden to explore, gorgeous comfy beds and a house that is truly one of a kind. Any decent trip to the South Island has to include Oamaru. What a fascinating and fun historic town. Fabulous for kids. And train enthusiasts of any age. Thank you Brian for an unforgettable stay.
