The retreat is a perfect antidote to our modern hectic lives. It is purposefully low-tech although there are some concessions for the sake of comfort. Michael has put a lot of thought and care into the styling of the retreat. It is a short walk into Oamaru, where you will find the Victorian precinct (with the bookbindery amongst other intriguing shops and galleries) and you will see that the retreat perfectly complements this part of the town's character and history. Although obviously a busy man, if you catch him, Michael is happy to chat and share tips for exploring the city, as well as his passion for brewing! Thanks again Michael and Lee-Ann.
