What a lovely place to stay in Oamaru. We were pleasantly surprised as to how lovely this hotel is. It’s in a great central location and the room was cozy. It was a little noisy in the morning but we expected that with it being right on a main road. Staff were extremely friendly. Would definitely stay again.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We came to Oamaru for a 2-night stay to celebrate a friend's birthday and wanted somewhere special to base ourselves. Poshtel is certainly that place surrounded by living history, items and ornaments that tell a story. We had a wonderful ground-floor room that celebrated the legacy of the snooker hall and billiards. It was light, airy and spacious with modern facilities and everything we needed. And the location in the heart of the main street is a bonus.
