Another night in Oamaru

Very helpful staff, lovely room, cosy, comfortable bed, good amenities. A bonus free blueberry cupcake when we arrived went down well with a fresh brewed coffee

Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Room was well equipped. Bed was comfortable.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Unit was clean, tidy, a little dated but in good condition. Conveniently located, helpful staff. The clincher for us is the dog-friendly classification allowing us to take with us our beloved black Labrador. The one thing that would lift the unit to 5 stars would be a heat pump/air conditioning. We shall certainly book again.

Very Clean Motel

The Asure Motel was lovely and clean it was a cold day when we arrived late in the afternoon and they had put the heating on which was great. We had the room close to the road and were worried about road noise but it was not a problem
