Exceptional”

when booking I had thought it was overpriced for Oamaru - but when I checked in I was extremely pleased with the sizable space and facilities. The host provided a basket of home baked muffins upon check-in. and was a great source of information regarding the penguin shows.

Everything is so perfect”

The location of the lodge is great, very near to the city center. Facilities are well equipped and the receptionist is very friendly. The receptionist suggested to our guide a place for visit at the dam which has a very scenic view. Thank you so much. Also, milk, cakes and chocolates are provided upon arrival.

The host was most friendly and helpful. Pointed us to places of interest with great enthusiasm. Offered us umbrellas when the sky turned cloudy. Well equipped kitchen, where we made the most enjoyable dinner in the whole trip.

Lovely spot and clean fresh a accommodation”

Personal attention with fresh muffins and friendly welcome. Excellent recommendation by hosts for where to have dinner - an awesome experience all round and would love to return if we gave the opportunity!

all you need plus a little extra”

We enjoyed our time here, the rooms were clean and well presented. The staff friendly and very helpful and to be greeted with fresh made muffins - an extra treat we definitley appreciated.

Warm welcome and touching layout”

One of the greatest hotel in our two weeks holiday. The set-up is touching and host is warm. Good hot water and heating facility in early spring. Free laundry adds extra points to travelers like us that have been on the road for a longer period. Five star and highly recommended!

Typical NZ accomodation”

Clean and with everything you need, very friendly, welcoming people, nowts a bother, but the muffins provided were very tasty.

Thanks Brett for a warm welcome. A great clean and tidy property only a 15 minute walk to town (5 by car) and 25min to the Brewery.

I left behind my travel pouch. Bret took the effort to emailed me and saved me all the troubles. Thanks Bret and way to go☺️👍. Bret is so friendly and service is superb. Highly recomended...valued stay.

Would stay again”

Met with warm smiles and muffins! The room was spotless and all the equipment and facilities very good. Will stay with Asura again. The fact that they are run by the owners shows.

One of the best we booked during the trip in New Zealand. Highly recommend, spacious room, well equipped.

Excellent”

Amazing helpful staff, lovely clean accomodation. Only catch is the road noise (we stayed in the very front unit) and you could hear the trucks overnight. We would stay here again.

Convenient Location ”

Location is convenient. Very friendly & cheerful staff. Welcome us with muffins when we needed it most! 👍👍

Stopping through with twin toddlers”

This place filled our needs beautifully. The unit was clean and tidy and well configured for our family. Bret was a welcoming host who greeted a rather frazzled mum & dad with two car sick lads, with a smile, muffins, and directions to the onsite laundry (fabulous). The muffins were AMAZING! A lovely touch. Would stay here again.
