"A villa building, similar to a homestay, can park, the room is a bit small, the two single beds are relatively narrow, about 1 meter wide, breakfast is a simple breakfast prepared by the landlord, milk juice bread fried eggs, the location is slightly biased, there is no place to eat around."

"Because I wanted to see the little penguins 🐧, I had to stay overnight in Oamaru, and ultimately chose to check out this hotel, which was ranked number one on the B&B list. I really liked the hotel's decor, which incorporated many Chinese elements, as the owner had lived in different cities in China for over 20 years. The biggest surprise was that I actually had the only Chinese meal of my South Island trip for breakfast! 😄👍"
