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.

The Lookout - take in the views!

MindyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Neroli is forward thinking in providing for every need. Beautiful and clever beach style decor, bright and airy, plenty of soft blankets and a wonderful fireplace to take the chill off! Neroli is wise to provide helpful labels on all the switches and detailed instructions which certainly helped these Americans with using the appliances. Plenty of space to spread out and play games. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need and more for cooking meals together. We were so pleased to make memories in this tranquil spot and watch daily sunrises over the ocean and sunsets at the mountain view side. Thanks for sharing you delicious eggs also!

Ure Seaview Apartment B

BrianRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Yiling 's apartment was a treasure. Spacious, clean, comfortable...like new. Yiling was always responsive, and even picked our luggage up from the bus station, so my 90 year old friend didn't have to drag it 1 kilometer, as we explored town before our early check-in. I would be happy to stay here on my next visit.
