Jay and Austen offered wonderful hospitality at Oamaru Creek B&B. Our front room was spacious and comfortable. They kindly added a bed to accommodate our teenage daughter.

We had been out on Mount Sunday all day up by Christchurch and immediately rushed down to get to Oamaru--a 3-hour drive--before 8 p.m. because I told Jay that was the time we would check in.
