The closeness to the city and to my friends who live in Oamaru

I found the pillows too uncomfortable but otherwise all was good.

Hôtel très bien placé, chambre dortoir bien aménagée même si les équipements sont vieillissants. L’endroit est calme, spacieux et bon rapport qualité prix. Cuisine bien équipée et salle de bain propre !

Certains meubles usagés, vétustes mais tout fonctionne très bien !
