We can recommend Midway Motel, we stayed for 11 nights. Ken and Karen give a first class friendly service, as nothing was too much trouble. We found the accomodation clean, spacious and well located to all local amenities and activities. Stuart and Carole, Sheffield England. More

We had not pre booked this motel and found it by chance the owners originally from the UK had made sure that each suite had a lovely comfortable atmosphere with comfortable arm chairs in each room and a gas fire which we needed after going to watch the blue penguins that evening. We had the best nights sleep ever during... More

Although this motel is an older establishment, it has lovely big rooms and is set well back on the main road. It is a 2-storey building and we were upstairs - did not hear much road noise.

As others have said, an old school motel, but well kept, clean and comfortable. It's on the main road, but set well back, so it's quiet, and the heavy curtains keep the rooms dark at night. It's well placed for the Victorian precinct, but you'd best take the car to the penguins. We didn't try the breakfast, because the Whitestone... More

This was a great wee motel, a good price for us and we were pleased that we made the choice.

Lots of motels in Oamaru and other NZ towns have good basics. This one goes a bit beyond to ensure a comfortable stay for the weary traveler. More
