  An up-market backpacker hostel only a 5-minute drive from Oamaru
  
  Pros:
  • Very friendly reception
  • Inexpensive
  • Plenty of parking
  • Automatic lights in bathroom areas
  • Well-kept with lovely spacious décor in communal area
  • Toasty warm room
  
  Cons:
  • Communal living area right outside bedroom door; we could hear people talking at night
  • Duvet was hot; no mid-thickness blanket (to be fair, I never asked reception if a thinner one was available)
  • Hot tubs were available, but expensive as they are emptied and cleaned between use

  I loved this lodge with all my heart. The owners are incredibly welcoming and helpful and the rooms are small but sufficiently comfortable. There is a large common area with a fully functional kitchen which is useful for preparing meals on site as there aren't many dining options around the lodge. WiFi included with the rental and spa/hot tub available for booking. The bathrooms are communal to the lodge. Great place to wake up a bit early to catch a beautiful sunrise!

  Great common room with ample table and kitchen space! Individual rooms had clean beds and heaters. One of the outlets in my room was non-functional, which meant we could either eat or charge things. Men's bathroom was clean, but only had 2 showers (one of which was handicap accessible) and limited space around the sinks. Provided robes and towels were nice, but the robes were a bit uncomfortably short for a 6'2" guy. Overall, a great place to spend the night, with a very quick drive into town.

  This is a home-like hostel in Omaru. The place is clean and tidy. You will definitely enjoy and love it if you stay here!

  Exquisite lodge with decent room (slightly small), big common showers, a fabulous kitchen and common area and a stunning property. Owner and dog were super pleasant.
