Top Oamaru Hotel Reviews

Brydone Hotel Oamaru

Brydone Hotel Oamaru

10/10 Excellent
"Recommend the Junior Suite if you enjoy space. This is a historic hotel so although not like a brand new hotel....is a total classic and a beauty. Staff were so incredible. Very small lifts were a representation of days gone by. A fantastic experience, central and on the main road so a perfect location. Our bathroom was huge, tiled with a spa bath. Plenty of towels. They provide shampoo and body wash in a dispenser in the shower. Piping hot water and huge water pressure. Small fridge with the usual tea, coffee, sugar as other hotels. We had breakfast there and was fantastic"
