We stayed at Eden Lodge during our recent trip to Oamaru; it had been recommended to us by family and we were not disappointed. The house is fantastic and quirky and Ian was incredibly hospitable. Tea was made available at all times of day and our breakfast was delicious. It is a great location near to the town centre and... More

We have stayed in Eden Lodge 3 times and think it's a great place , friendly helpful owner, nice unsual house and very central to Oamaru. Couldn't fault the service, breakfast and general ambience Would definitely recommend it

Ian was a friendly host who offered tea & coffee, was happy to share his knowledge and book a table at a restaurant for us. No shampoo was present in the bathroom but was made available on request. The house was very cold and our room smelled musty. We learned the other odour that permeated the house was Kerosine which... More

It's clean, comfortable and very friendly, plus it's reasonably priced, what more could you want. Ask, upon arrival, for breakfast at different time, it's no problem.

Lovely silver service breakfast - you just feel special! This place is unique! The host tells about all current local attractions, so you we made the most of our stay.

Just returned from my third trip to the South Island of NZ and have found a real gem of a B&B in the lively,historic provincial town of Oamaru, The property is being renovated to bring it back to it's full Victorian splendour. Don' t let the idea of renovations put you off. The property is large,and rambling set in its... More
