The homestay is on the hill in the center of Oamaru, overlooking the entire town and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. Unfortunately, the day we stayed was cloudy and we couldn't see the sunrise. 10 minutes drive from the Penguin Center. The cooking facilities in the house are particularly complete. At first glance, it is prepared for the Chinese. Not only have seasonings, but also rice cookers. This is not available in other hotels. If you prepare a large spoon, it will be 100 points.

The beautiful house in light green is big and clean, and each bedroom is large. The only downside is that the bathroom is not together with the shower, and it is not convenient to go through the kitchen. Overall, the price is very high.

Guest UserWhile the room was on the smaller side, this was anticipated given that it doesn't offer a private bathroom. The listing indicated a 'separate toilet,' but in reality, it was just a washbasin within the room, and the toilet itself was shared. If privacy for facilities is important to you, I'd strongly advise against booking.
Parking was also a significant challenge. The hotel lacks its own car park, requiring guests to find street parking. There are only two spots directly outside the hotel, which are rarely vacant and can be used by non-guests too. The whole street is usually packed with parked cars, making it extremely difficult to find a space.
Opposite the hotel are private residences. We found the occupants to be quite rude; they aggressively told us not to park in any seemingly empty spots in front of their properties. This was the only instance of rudeness I encountered during my entire trip to New Zealand; every other local I met was incredibly friendly.

Nice place with central location of the Oamaru town, near Woolworth supermarket, some nice old-fashion places and beach. Nice to visit and grab photos.
Hotel keeps original decoration you can feel warm with the fireplace and wooden furniture. But the room is clean with modern style.

The place is spacious and the location is excellent. It is right next to the main road. After watching the little penguins, you can buy fast food nearby before returning to the hostel. The room is spacious and there are staff on duty at night. You can park at the door, which is very convenient

Guest UserThe sofa bed didn't feel like changing sheets. Because a lot of sand and the sheets inside were nestled together. The room is large and can cook. The bathroom is also very large, in general, the price is very high

Facilities: All are quite complete, but the soundproofing is so bad that you can feel the cough next to your ear, and the bed is so soft that your waist will definitely ache the next day after sleeping on it.
Hygiene: It is clean, but there will be a lot of bugs flying in as soon as the door is opened. This has nothing to do with the hotel. It is mainly because there are a lot of bugs in the local area, so it is barely 4.5.
Environment: There was a Chinese group on the day of check-in. Most of the members were 50-year-old southern aunts and uncles, so please imagine the whole environment on the day.
Service: I really thought it was a hotel with a bit of artistic atmosphere after seeing the name, so I placed an order, but it was actually a motel. When checking in, the fat ********* girl's *** and indifferent expression were also very disgusting. After checking in, the various Chinese signs in the room that were visible to the naked eye, saying what you are not allowed to do, and if you do it, you will be fined a certain amount of money, which is also very uncomfortable. I believe that many Chinese must have done various things to cause this, but after all, they are guests, and they don't owe you anything. You can remind the motel, but there is no need to warn them proactively.

QingmanqiantangThe hotel is right next to the road, and the glass door of the hotel is very soundproof, so it is not noisy at all. There are kitchen utensils, tableware, stoves, microwaves, toasters and refrigerators, which are very suitable for self-catering.

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. The food in the restaurant was excellent, however the hosts let their business down by not asking us if we wanted drinks. Hospitality runs on drink profits right? The hotel was basically clean but a lot of dusting needs doing. The kitchen or whatever on the first floor needs sorting out somehow - it is a jumble and there in no information about guests use of it. The toilets upstairs ran out of toilet paper and I had to go downstairs to get a new roll. The bed was very comfortable. I just think more could be done to make the Hotel more profitable for the hosts.
