United KingdomVery cool backpackers in a heritage building in the centre of town. It felt very much like being at home, especially with the collection of vhs tapes which gave me such nostalgia! Everyone I met at the hostel was really lovely, in particular Marshall who is the caretaker, who gave me some great recommendations for local food and bevs. So nice to have a friendly face when you're as far from home as I was! Thank you to all!

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

- Avg. price/night: US$82.77Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 868 reviewsSo comfy, beautifully decorated, clean and warm. One of the best hostels I have stayed in. They provide a towel, and free cereal and spreads (jam, marmite, etc.) and there were so many games, books, a TV and a massage chair. Granted, it is very quiet, so you won't be encountering too many people. But I think that can be nice.Guest review byHollySolo traveller

- Avg. price/night: US$82.77Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 868 reviewsAmazing hostel - doesn't feel like one at all feels more like shared accommodation or a B&B. The 6 bed mixed dorm was spacious and clean. Sturdy bunk bed with each having their own light and usb charging point. The toilets and showers were clean. Free street parking right outside the accommodation. Free breakfast stuff, alongside tea, coffee etc as well as fruit juices. The view from the kitchen/living areas were beautiful. The location is perfect for Oamaru. I stayed for 2 nights and had the mixed dorm to myself the first night!Guest review byRubySolo traveller
