Colonial Lodge Motel - Oamaru

The staff were cute and made check-in easy, providing local tips that enhanced our stay.

Unfortunately, the bathroom showed signs of wear, specifically a noisy cistern that disrupted our peace.

Had lovely location quite outside of the center. The staff was excellent, helped a lot. It was neat, modern and for the 3 kids.

This hotel met needs well in every way, can recommend. Came here for trip, had great 1 day overall. Its location was great and handy, so close to sightseeing, grocery stores & gas stations, a supermarket, and New Zealand.

The room I had, a One-Bedroom Apartment, met my expectations with its cleanliness and spacious layout. The lack of road noise was a pleasant surprise, nice for a restful night. I appreciated the thoughtful design that seemed to minimize any noise from adjacent units, ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. There was a minor irritation. The toilet had a noisy cistern, though closing the bathroom door solved the problem. I loved the convenient location near central Oamaru and the Victorian Quarter, made exploring easy. A good spot overall, but there's room for enhancement in soundproofing. A solid experience and worth considering for future visits.

The room was clean and the layout was spacious.

Unfortunately, some of the power points in our room didn't work, a bit inconvenient. On top of that, the shower's water pressure was disappointingly weak, leaving us with underwhelming experiences during bath time. Better signage about available facilities would have.

Price, location, parking

No power plugs in bathroom for hair dryer , very small bedroom and bed, shower water pressure poor, coffee average, no tv in bedroom. Heat pump noisy and inefficient

The hotel is family with family atmosphere, the location is ideal right by the bus station. The room is well heated and reasonably large with three wifi access, everything is excellent. The staff are amazing friendly and very helpful, and the owner too👍🙂

It was super clean, and the beds were really comfortable. They even had a good morning visit from the neighbor's cat, which just.

The wifi was poor .

The apartment I had was newly renovated. The location was ideal, right by the bus station, convenient to go everywhere. Moreover, it's close to grocery stores as well as trucks.

good value, good service - what I would expect from a motel in the price range. Definately stay there again either for work or private.

All good!

the unit we had was really clean and spacious. the water pressure in the shower was weak.

The motel was very good, the beds nice and comfortable. Being back from the road noise was not an issue. Happy to stay again

Air con not that great hard to work

Love the new improvements & updated decor...This has been long overdue as we have been staying here for many years & so great to have a bright, modern Motel complex...

great space but small shower pressure

The One-Bedroom Apartment had a thoughtfully designed layout that separated the living area from the bedroom. I particularly appreciated the modern style of the bathroom. The garden view added a lovely, tranquil element to the room.

Although older the motel was spacious and well equipped.

Quite a bit of traffic noise with being on main road.
