We were very impressed with our stay at the Brydone in Oamaru this past weekend, lovely friendly greeting at reception, ample parking available around the back of the building and room was very clean and beds were very comfortable. Heater worked well so we came back to a lovely warm room. Only a short walk to the supermarket and food outlets plus all the Oamaru attractions, very good location. Highly recommend this hotel to others and we would not hesitate to stay here again in the future as very good value for money!
