Stone Cottage in Central Oamaru (No Extra Cleaning Fee)

Orla s Cottage is a 3 bedroom historic Oamaru Stone workers cottage built in 1906 and is just a few hundred meters from central Oamaru, the Victorian Precinct and numerous restaurants.

We have respected the original features in this home while adding modern comforts to make your stay truly unique to the Oamaru region.

Each bedroom has been beautifully appointed with high quality accessories and local historical treasures. The beds are all Hotel Grade beds with luxury mattress toppers, NZ woolen Duvets and locally made NZ merino wool blankets.

The interior Oamaru white-stone walls have been retained exhibiting original saw cuts and claw marks created in the quarrying and building process.

Being a restored original cottage the living areas are compact whilst the bedrooms are large with high ceilings.

There are also two air conditioning units in the cottage to ensure your stay is cosy in the winter and comfortable in the summer.

Great stay in Oamaru

We had a great one night stay at Orla's Cottage in Oamaru. Just a little further from the town centre than we would've wanted to walk, but the home was comfortable and clean and good for our little family. Would recommend this place to others.

Comfy home

We had all we needed and slept comfortably in this charming historic cottage. Just a hop, skip and a jump from the main drag, we found the neighbourhood quiet. It was an easy walk to the penguins for the adventurous in our party and we were glad for a lift back at night. I was grateful for the thoughtful condiments on offer, and we enjoyed playing Chinese checkers with the kids.We'd happily book again - entry was simple with clear instructions!

Interesting historic property

The austere street view of this property belied the care taken to restore the interior, which was roomy and comfortable. Kitchen and dining facilities were limited and the bathroom was minimalist, but overall, we enjoyed our stay.The Steam Punk museum was a highlight as were the botanic gardens.

A tad misleading

Pretty disappointed with condition of this property. It wasn't a few hundred meters from the historic Oamaru prescient that was described in Book a batch. It was cold, with limited living space and very tired condition.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

This lovely three bedroom home suited my mother and I as we were traveling through the area. When we pulled up we were not sure it was the right place as the outside looks under par, however inside this lovely home is all you need with spacious rooms, a lovely lounge, kitchen, bathroom and very gracious hosts. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Nice old Home

We enjoyed our stay, close to town and the Whitestone cheese factory/shop. Thanks for sharing your home. The Last Post is a must for dinner, great food and service. For the owner.. The Mitre 10 opens at 7:30 am and can be quite noisy along with their security lights, disturbing you if you are a light sleeper. The house's security lights were on permanently, it took us some time to find the switch to turn them off, and the heat pump in the lounge we had trouble getting to work, The TV needs instructions or a freeview box that works.
