Cabin in Oamaru

Bookbinders's Retreat

Located in Oamaru, this beautifully restored, cosy and warm Cabin is the perfect place to base yourself at while you explore the Otago region. Bookbinder's Retreat is small self-contained studio, situated adjacent to the main house. Whilst in the town, the property has a rural outlook over the Public Gardens, and a secluded feel. I have enjoyed creating the space on a small budget over a long time. Travellers seem to appreciate the craftsman like quirkiness of the space which reflects the town.

Lune-tastic Guesthouse!

RogerRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Extraordinary home, with billiard table and dart. Also the bathroom fully equipped with all you need. I loved it from the beginning. The location is perfect, easy to find at the end of a road. Close to the city Center and old town, close to a park, and close to train tracks, where I now made it, after four times in NZ to see a train in action. And no, it isn’t disturbing. Next time in Oamaru, I will ask again for that home. Thx to you 🙋🏼‍♂️ Roger

Lookout Lodge, Number one

A YumiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We booked for three people, and the host kindly suggested a room that perfectly suited our needs. The view was absolutely stunning — we could even see sheep while enjoying breakfast! The kitchen and living area were stylish and comfortable, and the bedroom was very clean. If I have the chance to come back, I’ll definitely stay here again. Great

One of the nicest places my husband and I have ever stayed in. Very comfortable in such a lovely setting.
