We stay in Oamaru each year and have always stayed at The Thames. This year due to booking late we had to stay elsewhere. What a disaster !! It has made us realise how much we enjoy The Thames for comfortable bedding, warmth and cleanliness. We have booked our room for 2013 We cannot fault this accommodation.

While traveling in New zealand recently we spent one night in the Thames Court Motel in Oamaru . We were two friends and had asked for separate rooms to sleep and we were given a whole house for the two of us with a large living room and two bedrooms and a nice garden around. The reception was very friendly... More

Nothing special about this place but the bed was comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The TV was very small but it was good to see that the DVD player played AVI files, unlike most of the hotels we'd been to.

Stayed here as 16 of us were going to a concert and they accommodated us most willingly. It's a bit simple but had everything we needed and was still close to town so location good. We had the two bedroom upstairs unit which was very spacious. The only niggly thing was that everyone said the shower heads were very low... More

Stayed for two nights and booked a separate bedroom as there were 3 of us. Friendly reception and rooms clean and tidy. Only downfall we thought the lights were too dim In the evening. I guess it's a cost saving measure. Also the shower blocked which we forgot to mention to reception. However good price.

Only stayed for one night on route to Queenstown but was impressed with the quality of the accommodation and value for money. The rooms were spacious, we stayed in a one bedroom suite and was very nice. Would recommend. The staff are really helpful too and very efficient.

We stopped for one night on our way north. Our unit was clean and comfortable and not noisy despite the motel being on the main road.

Enjoyed our 2 day stay in this clean, tidy unit. Hosts were very easy to deal with.

Easy 10-minute walk to downtown. Well maintained. Comfortable bed. Fully stocked kitchenette. Scent-free cleaning products (much appreciated). DVD player in the room and DVDs available to borrow. Did not hear our neighbors. It is along the main highway, but we did not hear traffic during the night. Very pleasant for a short stay.
