    Gorgeous views, the cottage felt like it was secluded and was nice and cozy. The bathroom was very chilly at first, but we found a small heater that soon warmed it up nicely.

Lovely private secure Garden cottage with its own outdoor deck. The room has a queen bed, 2 bed-side tables plus bed-side lamps. There is a flat screen TV. Two seating chairs and a coffee table. Shade blinds on the sliding doors. Sliding doors lead to a deck which has two chairs and a small table and a little view to the Oamaru Harbour. The kitchenette is small and does not have cooking facilities. ( Has a microwave, toaster, small fridge and crockery and cutlery) The bathroom has a step in shower, vanity and toilette. The cottage is private. Parking is on the street in-front of the main house with a little walk up a concrete drive. The cottage is within a short walk to Oamaru's Historic Precinct and the Harbour as well as the Penguin colony.
You won't need your car while you are exploring Oamaru as the cottage is a stroll away from the Harbour, Penguins , Old Precinct, shops and Restuarants . There are lovely walks close by.
