We, a retired couple who don't speak English, stayed in this kind of backpacker hotel for the first time (mainly because it is close to the penguin base, a 10-minute walk, and the key is that we also want to experience it). We checked in by ourselves (we checked in very smoothly with the help of Ctrip customer service). It was the first time to experience this kind of backpacker hotel for young people. Unexpectedly, the environment was good facing the sea, and the linens were very clean. We booked a double sea view room and thought it had an independent bathroom, but it didn't matter. The public one was also very clean and hygienic! The public viewing living room was great, the kitchen was great, and there were simple free ingredients. That night, we saw several little blue penguins on the beach. The blue was super beautiful. It was super cute to see someone sneaking around! Taking pictures of penguins and interacting with them on the beach shore road left an unforgettable impression! The two elderly people played until 10 o'clock in the evening before returning to the hotel. That night, there were 6 young people in the hotel, 4 foreigners, 1 Korean beauty, and 1 Chinese young man (who has been in New Zealand for 8 years and came to play alone during the holiday). It was very happy to chat with him, and thanked him for giving us a pack of Master Kong instant noodles and an egg! It is recommended to live on the 2nd floor. Living on the 1st floor is a wooden building, and people walking on the 2nd floor will hear it! But it is very quiet when you sleep, and it is super beautiful to take pictures of the starry sky at night and the sunrise in the morning!

GGuest UserVery close to Highway 1! There is a large supermarket 15 minutes' walk away where you can buy food. There is a full set of kitchenware and tableware in the room, which is very convenient! Note: The parking space number is the same as the room number. The boss is also in the courtyard and doesn't look very friendly!
AAnonymous UserThe front desk is a Chinese male, the service is warm, the room is clean and sanitary, it is a bungalow, and there is no noise from the second floor. It is very close to the place where you can see penguins. There is a panda restaurant not far away that is very delicious. It is great to take it back to the hotel to eat.
AAnonymous UserFacilities: Complete kitchen facilities, very good, bought ingredients from a nearby supermarket, and cooked by myself
Hygiene: Clean and spotless
Environment: Right on the roadside, a little noise from passing vehicles at night, but acceptable because too tired
Service: The front desk is very responsible, but looks a bit cool and feels quite serious. There was a misunderstanding about the child's room fee, and Ctrip solved it perfectly, great
GGuest UserWe stayed in Oamaru for one night to watch the penguins return to their nests. Although the hotel is small and well-equipped, it is clean and hygienic. The location is also good. It is relatively close to the center of the town, which is convenient for us to return home. The seaside town of Oamaru is also a great place to hang out. The hotel overall is good value for money.
AAnonymous UserPros: location is good, near to a grocery store. Room is large, lovely toilet. a small microwave.
Cons:
Not satisfied with the breakfast. Juices and milk were served in glasses in the evening before the next day and they were just covered with a plastic. Dont think this is very hygienic.
Cleanliness of the room is moderate, the linen is clean but we are not sure about the sheet covering it, looks not clean.
A bit expensive to be served with opened milk and juices (covered with plastic) only.
Other than that, its ok.
GGuest UserNice. Very clean. The hotel is very comfortable. I will remember it for a long time.
Facilities: Many
Health: good
good environment
Good service
Awesome! It was a good feeling that we went to watch a movie together and it really created a sense of family bonding.
FFANGRONGWe are a family of three. We booked a three-person room. The room facilities are very satisfying and the stay is comfortable. We drove there. The parking space is free. The price is also very good. There are kitchen utensils and a microwave oven but no kitchen. The cooking is flawed
效效用函数I went to see the rooms set by Penguin. I was a bit worried about staying in the motel for the first time, but the location and the environment are good. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the town center. It’s convenient to have breakfast at McDonald’s next door. It’s 30 minutes walk to see Blue Penguin. About minutes.
GGuest UserVery good hotel, the room is large, there is a kitchen and oven, there are several beds, the configuration is very good, it is worth staying, the Chinese female boss is very good.
AAnonymous UserIt's a very nice hotel with a friendly owner, large rooms, complete facilities, clean and sanitary, good location, convenient parking and cheap price. I highly recommend it to everyone.
