We loved the apartment ambience and decor, and Whitestone’s location in the historic part of Oamaru.

Decor was fascinating and fabulous. Very comfortable bed. Kitchen very well supplied and we appreciated the coffee maker particularly. Beautiful view over the garden from the kitchen/dining window. Heating was on for us when we arrived - so considerate on a cold night. It was no trouble to find street parking right outside.

Very comfortable and well-organized stay in a great location.

Loved this apartment - very spacious with beautiful decor. The bed was large and comfortable, the bathroom was great, and the kitchen was fully equipped. The location is excellent, right in the center of town. We stayed during a colder period, and the heaters kept the place warm and comfortable.

Stylish, spacious and comfortable – a real pleasure to stay here

We loved staying in this stylish, spacious apartment. It was very central and had a fine view across the town from the front and a little balcony at the back overlooking the gorgeous hillside garden. The apartment itself was decorated with many beautiful artefacts from the art-dealer owners' collection of Asian art. It was a real pleasure to stay here, at the end of our Alps to Ocean cycle ride. Highly recommended.

Great location and parking, spacious and included everything we could possibly think of and one of the few places that have ice in the freezer for that all important drink at the end of the day. There was a fantastic restaurant virtually over the road .

Comfortable, spacious and characterful accommodation in a central location

We loved this characterful, spacious and comfortable B&B in the centre of Oamaru. The hosts were friendly, helpful and accommodating and there were thoughtful touches such as flowers on the kitchen table. We would have liked to stay longer!

A perfect place to stay in the historic town of Oamaru.

The beautiful apartment was at the heart of the historic district of Oamaru. It was also within easy walking distance of the penguin colony. The gardens to the rear of the property were magnificent.
