kitchen

Good value and great amenities fitted out in the bathroom/kitchenette/desk. Very very  large and spacious. Could hear a bit from the unit above. The tiled shower and water pressure was excellent along with the pod coffee machine. This was be an excellent motel if it had a nice outlook of a garden rather than the car parking. Reception seemed surprised to see me when checking in (almost felt rude) but then we laughed about this.

Spacious

Room was nice and tidy enough. Very roomy. We had a downstairs one which are all designed for disabled people. Unless you need it, I’d recommend an upstairs room.

Warning: Don’t stay here if there is a risk of moderate to high southerly winds. The services boxes on the back of the building bang and make terrible noises in the wind!!! Kept us a awake for a good part of the night. 

Highly recommend the restaurant. Great food and excellent service. Real friendly.

Nice and tidy, great restaurant but a warning.

The motel was a little dated but it was clean, roomy, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of space.  It was also quiet inspite of being on the main road.   It's just a pity that the restaurant wasn't up to much.

Roomy motel

We had a night here recently.  The hotel was rmarkably quiet and peacful considering it is attached to a tavern.  The room was spacious and well laid out.  It had a small kitchette with enough for a cup of tea and breakfast. Very nice.

Very quiet

I stayed a night on the way to Dunedin. The staff were so easy to communicate with. Booking was easy. The unit was well equipped and spacious with a settee and two lounge chairs but the heating was poor. There was no heating in the bathroom and the room had a small panel heater which took ages to warm up. How could you build a motel in Oamaru without bathroom under floor heating and a heat pump. Take plenty of warm clothes. There is good parking and its clean and comfortable if a little on the chilly side

Excellent value and staff

We Loved our stay at the Northstar Motel.
The rooms are very spacious, clean and modern. 
The staff are all very friendly and helpful.
Location is good, and there plenty of parking spaces. 
Thank you from the Doherty family.

Perfect stay - would highly recommend

We recently spent two nights here.  The room was large enough that we weren’t tripping over each other.  There is a huge bathroom/changing area.  The kitchen is well appointed with an added bonus of a coffee machine.  The shower is huge and has amazing pressure.  The bed was a little firmer than we are used to but still comfy.  The only down side was from children running around in the room above us, going to sleep solved that.  And a couple of spare pillows would be great.

Comfy and Large

This motel has the friendliest, most helpful receptionists I've ever come across! My husband and I had the pleasure of staying for 3 nights in December and loved it! We hadn't planned on visiting Oamaru, until we discovered that heavy rain had forced road closures on our drive to Christchurch. We came across Northstar purely by accident, and were greeted with the warmest of welcome's by Shirley, and Jill looked after us during our evening meal later that day. They both have so much local knowledge, which we used to our advantage, and after extending our stay due to the on-going road issues, we had the most fabulous stay in the motel and Oamaru!
The room itself was spacious, lovely and clean, with everything we needed. Comfy bed and pillows, and a peaceful environment all contributed to 3 nights of blissful sleep. 
We ate in the restaurant twice, and enjoyed the food very much. The bar staff were lovely too!
Everything about our unexpected trip was amazing, and we're already looking forward to our next visit in 2022. Thank you all for making our stay so special, memorable. It was certainly one of our favourite places in New Zealand!

Super friendly receptionists!

Spent 2 nights here for a motorbike club AGM so we had a meeting room available for our use and also a restaurant for a formal dinner but also a great bar for a smaller meal if we prefer, which we did on the Friday evening.  Bar snacks were excellent and so was the buffet dinner we had as the formal part of the Saturday evening.

Exactly what we needed

Stayed for one night over Labour weekend. Room was really nice, comfortable bed and tidy facilities inside the unit. Good location as it is nicely placed to reach anywhere in Oamaru. No noise especially since it is part of a reasonable sized complex. Would stay again as staff were efficient and polite and facilities were very comfortable.
