Old bones lodge was one of our favourite stays in NZ. It has a lovely warm atmosphere and the hosts take care of all your needs.
The kitchen was clean and practical and the shared space was homey.
The bathrooms are modern and the bedrooms are cute.
It is about a 10 minute drive from Omaru so it felt quite remote (in a good way).

Nice view with perfect amenities. Thanks and sorry to the owner / host for my late check in. Hopefully I can spend more time here in the future.

Since I arrived an hour late, I called the hotel front desk in advance. The customer service staff was very welcoming. Although the room was small, it was very clean and tidy. It had a large and distinctive living room and a warm fireplace. The hotel environment was very beautiful, comfortable and special. A feeling of being at home.

The room is relatively small and cannot accommodate a large suitcase, so I packed the suitcases I needed to change clothes for that day a day in advance and brought them to the bedroom.
The kitchen and restaurant are very large, with complete utensils and necessary condiments. The complimentary milk is not taken away. It is about 6 kilometers away from the supermarket and only takes 9 minutes to drive there.
It's about 3 minutes' drive from the place where you can see yellow penguins. We didn't go there.
There is a dairy farm on the roadside and a small house where you can watch the sunrise in the morning. I regret not booking a bath. Otherwise it would have been so romantic.

A brilliant place to stay. Our photographic group hired the whole place for a long weekend and we were just amazed at the value for money. The bathrooms were close to the bedrooms and lights came on automatically at night making them easy to use. The wood-burner was put on for us the evening we were out and it was great to come back to a warm .

To say we had a great weekend in Oamaru would be an understatement. We literally had the most perfect weekend and one of the biggest parts of that was staying at Old Bones Lodge. Grant and Karen are hands down the best hosts I have come across. They made us feel so welcome, like nothing was a problem and are such genuine people. Their lodge was so clean and tidy and had absolutely everything you would need for a weekend away. To top it all off it has the most incredible views, lawn, gardens and seaside walks along a private and closed beach. It is such good value and I would recommend to all.
