Federation House, hotel in Oamaru

Federation House B&B Inn offers a homely choice of accommodation in Oamaru. Guests enjoy free WiFi.

It was great to stay in a grand old Fedation style house, which has been loved and cared for and altered by its owner, Roger, to become a comfortable guest house with heaps of character. We loved the innovation and collection of older furniture and memorabilia. Breakfast on the verandah with its gorgeous view was brilliant- and we loved chatting with our host. This was a memorable stay!

    The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem.

    The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others). We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

    It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride. There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

    We loved Oamaru.

    We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage. Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.

    The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore. The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the US

    A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀

    EVERYTHING!! This was a beautiful cottage totally redone in a style that was sophisticated and warm and cozy all at the same time. The tiled bathroom, the beautiful headboard, the new appliances, all made me feel like I was in a fancy hotel. The location was handy; we walked everywhere. There were all of the ingredients for a nice breakfast in the fridge. I was very sad that we didn’t have more time to spend there. Violeta was so accommodating and made us feel very welcome.

    The studio is clean, artsy and full of creative objects, bed and pillows super comfy. Bathroom is large and very clean. There's a kattle, coffee, tea, toaster and microwave and a nice little area where to have your meal. Room has both a heat pump and heating sistem and it is very private with curtains and separate access. Trish and Gary are very welcoming and ready to give you all the info needed about Oamaru. Price super affordable!

    my plans meant I only stayed one night but would have loved to have stayed longer. Really unique hotel, lovely owners and staff, and great location (I had a penguin watch booked which was easily drivable and even walkable). Breakfast is help yourself, you can make toast, there’s an array of fruit, yogurt, cereal too. Parking is available on street on in the supermarket car park out the back. Street parking is free after 5pm.

    Rosie is very nice and helpful. Her house is very comfortable, clean, and everything is high standard. She tried best to make you feel home, i.e. the candies and mints, cold water to leave for you. The towels were even warm. Her home like 5 start hotel.
