“Hidden Gem in Oamaru”
Absolutely everything! The character and decor of the cottage is second to none! We met Gary on arrival and he gave us all the information we needed and a perfect recommendation for dinner. The property has everything you could need for a long or short stay. One regret is that we only booked one night. The bed is so comfy, didn’t want to leave.
