We had a lovely big and light bedroom that was full of character at the back of the house overlooking the garden (Corrainder room). Austin and Jay were friendly, helpful and informative. The breakfast was yummy with fruit salad, homemade granola and their own eggs. Austin's coffee was excellent. More

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. Jay's breakfasts and Austen's coffees were a highlight. They were more than happy to share their knowledge and passion about their town. Highly recommended. More

We stayed here for two nights in December 2011. Austin and Jay provide a very warm, welcoming atmosphere in their restored historical house – a splendid, lovely old building with plenty of space and a lovely garden. We were greeted with the offer of a cup of tea or coffee and some delicious home made cake. Our room – called... More

Oamaru Creek is a beautiful place to stay in Oamaru. Matching perfectly the atmosphere of the city, the house is an elegant old building, restored with a lot of taste. We really felt warm and comfortable there. Our room was huge and the bathroom very cozy. Jay and Austen feed us with a perfect breakfast and delicious coffee. They were... More

Simply gorgeous. It's a 100+ year old craftsman, lovingly restored and furnished by Jay and Austen. Like all NZ homes, you have to huddle by a heat source in your scarf and sweater to stay warm in winter, yet every room feels invitingly cozy. Austen lent us binoculars and explained where to find Yellow Eyed Penguins-- great experience! Jay invited... More

Earlier this year we spent the better part of a week at Oamaru Creek Bed & Breakfast. We didn't want to leave. Jay & Austen McMillan have created a remarkable place. Guests are treated to exquisite attention to detail in home and hospitality. Beautiful rooms marked by quality, comfort and good taste. Magnificent food - homemade and thoughtfully prepared and...

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. (Besides, we needed to see the blue penguins come up to town!) Exhausted by the time we got there, we were first greeted by... More

Walking distance to the old town, Grand old house with plenty of character, gave us a taste of life in Oamaru's heyday!. We stayed in the Corriander room, very comfortable and clean, bed was really nice. Made very welcome by Jay and Austin, enjoyed taking afternoon tea downstairs in the lounge. Breakfast was great. Highly recommend spending time in the... More
