Thank you for making our weekend so rememberable! Your rooms are beautifully presented, clean and the location couldn’t be better!  I feel your price is to cheap! But thank you we sure will recommend to all our friends and family 😊

Must experience motel

We stayed at the Avenue motel on our way back from Christchurch 
What a wonderful welcome we got the from the manager 
 She  was so  kind  & couldn’t do enough for our family especially after traveling 
I have rated it a 5 star & would  certainly recommend  because of the service that was given to us ,we didn’t find anything wrong with the units thought they were great for a family & great price would highly recommend we will be back thank you 😊 
Great fish & chip shop a few steps away

Fantastic stay

Family of four have just left the motel, extremely disappointed!!!! it’s only a backpackers accomodation and that’s being generous! The shower was so pathetic it took only a quarter of the back of my head at a time.... we are very honest farming people and we would like to warn people!

Over night stay

Although it's on the main road into Oamaru the units are set back off the road and traffic noise isnt an issue. We had the 2 bedroom unit with kitchen which was separate from the other units so nice and quiet. The unit backs onto a playing field which was nice. Although older units it had everything you needed. The owner was very helpful for a couple of minor issues we had.

Quiet older motel on main road

Stayed 4 nights, looked, smelt & was clean. Great service that went the extra mile. Best night sleep ever!!!Would absolutely stay again & would recommend it to my friends & family.Room had just been freshly painted & there was even freshly baked muffins that were delicious, only complaint would be a few more would have been great lol

Great little find on our travels , cosy unit had everything we needed lady was ever so helpful , when travelling Getting a nice place and a good sleep is on the agenda after calling in to another cheaper motel and The receptionist was rude and unwelcomeing we came here a smile and friendly hello sealed the deal . Plenty of hot water

One of the better motels

We came to what has to be one of the best places to stay the room was first class and the owner was brilliant I would say to anyone travelling south on south island this makes the perfect stopping point the town has some wonderful sights to walk around and in the evening you can go and watch the penguins.

The best place in town 

WARNING!!! DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!! .From the moment we arrived to the moment we left (checked out earlier than expected as it was that bad).We arrived to a note on the door telling us where our rooms were (this was fine as we had requested an hour earlier check in) - walked in to find our room smelt moldy, the kitchen and bathroom was very outdated - pictures shown on booking.com are not at all what it looks like. As we were in a rush we only had time to shower before we had to leave again. Turned on the shower to find the shower head had been taped on and the water was squirting from all angles. Opened the cupboard next to the shower to find that the hot water cylinder almost looked like it had its own tap it was leaking that bad. The owner wasn't due back to the property until later that evening so our complaint couldn't be dealt with. Our friends had the room next to us and found they had a smell as well. They were offered a nights discount because of the smell. When it was our turn to speak to the owner about all the issues in our room her response was "its unfortunate, there is nothing i can do about it, times are tough". We advised this was unacceptable to charge a rate of $130 per night for facilities that aren't up to standard - no discount was offered - instead told to go find elsewhere. Again we had to leave quickly (had tried looking for alternative accommodation as soon as we checked in - nothing available). Explained this to the owner and again she refused any sort of discount or apology. We returned back to our room to find a plumber in there at no notice - hot water cylinder had been drained leaving us with no hot water and no shower. Again when we tried to tell the owner this wasn't acceptable - she stormed out with her hands in the air saying "its out of my control". This caused us even more disappointment. We decided to check out and leave Oamaru early as we were not prepared to pay another $130 for facilities that could not provide the basics ie hot water

TERRIBLE! DO NOT RECOMMEND!

We stayed here on Saturday night for one night. It was clean and comfortable but the unit really needs an upgrade as quite old, ie bathroom and kitchenette. I felt it was over priced for the condition, but the staff were nice and friendly.
