This hotel provides Chinese services, the rooms are very clean, and you can cook. The owner was very enthusiastic in introducing places to visit and where you can see the little penguins for free, which made me love this city even more.

I just found a random room just for sleeping, but it was really too casual. The bed was so soft that it seemed broken@@ It was basically not very comfortable.

The Chinese host is very nice. There is a trampoline swing in front of the room. I arrived late, but the children wanted to play and didn’t want to go to eat. I hope I can experience the city of Oamaru next time.

The Chinese-speaking landlord made communication very convenient and gave us a lot of suggestions. It would be a bit noisy if we lived near the door and the road. There is a very cute big orange cat that you can pet as you like😃

A motel run by a Chinese, located on the highway, convenient for travel. It takes about 15 minutes to drive to the penguin viewing base

It’s really too old and dirty! I made a last-minute reservation, and the Chinese front desk called me to ask when I would arrive. I was quite happy at first. When I walked in, I was stunned. There were several flies. The bed cover was made of ancient chemical fiber, and the sofa surface was whitened and cracked black leather. I highly recommend not ordering it!

The boss is a little cold and the service is a bit lacking. Other environmental facilities are okay.

It's not far from the night tour of little penguins. It takes about five minutes to walk to New World, so everything is very convenient. The Chinese front desk is also very professional and will guide you on how to see the little penguins.

A hotel with low expectations but pleasant surprise. I will recommend it in the future and will come back here next time.
