We stayed one night. The location was great, restaurants conveniently located (try Bangkok Recipe, just a block away). We walked downtown, and it was a great opportunity to see a lot of town. Off street parking was appreciated and made check-in more convenient. Room was really comfortable. Two big beds, loved having a fridge, microwave and coffee pot. We picked... More

We stayed for one night at this hotel. Location was handy, but I did think it was a little on the noisy side. We stayed in a studio unit - off which the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the fridge was pretty loud when it was running. Overall, I thought it was pretty reasonable for the price, but would not... More

Stayed at this Motel this March 2013 for two nights. Great motel, very clean and all ammenties worked!, very friendly hosts. The closest motel to town, which is right on the door step! handy to all restuarants which are within walking distance. The Shower is the most powerful we have every had in a motel/hotel... well done! Well, worth the... More

The accommodation I stayed in was great. Large, comfy double bed, powerful shower, fridge (with a bottle of milk provided), coffee, tea etc. The owners were very helpful during our stay: the bags for one of us did not make it onto the flight from the UK, and the owner very helpfully repeatedly phoned the airline on our behalf to...

great hosts - friendly welcome, even made a reservation for us at good restaurant. Room small - we knew that from the website - but very well equipped. Bed very comfortable, shower was excellent. Right on main road but we had a quiet nights sleep, amazed at how soundproof our room was. Easy walk to town for food and drinks.... More

Came for the Scott100 celebrations and to relive Antarctica service 40 years ago. Motel just suburb in every respect. Had a small studio unit but was quite OK because we were only there to sleep and breakfast. Shower first class. Will definitely return. Brian and Lorraine

This is the third time I have stayed at the Bella Vista Oamaru. Trevor and Wendy are great hosts, the rooms are always impeccably clean and warm, the showers are amazing. I will most definitely be back.

found the motel to be very basic and a bit dated. Location was poor - between a Mcdonalds and industrial area and a 2-3 mile walk to the Penguin Colony, so needed to get the car out. The was a shame as we'd been driving for quite a long while. Woken by clock alarm in empty bedroom next door and... More

Room we stayed in: #11 Clean room, slightly small if you want to turn it into a triple to share. Would not recommend it. This is NOT a negative comment - just information) We did and we knew what to expect. The room itself was clean and suited us well. Location close to the centre - walking distance - and... More
