The room was very clean with the kitchen supplies meticulously organized in the cabinets and drawers. The room has a glass wall to the parking area with a sliding glass patio door entrance to the room. I thought this was very odd, until the next place we stayed in New Zealand had the exact same design. Must be a New Zealand thing. The managers/owners(?) were very pleasant.

6/10 Good

Older styled motel. Large room. Bathroom was reasonable, but could do with upgrading. That said, it was functional. Check in was quick and friendly. Rooms were quiet despite location on main highway. Supermarket and takeaway was nearby. Central Oarmaru was a couple of minutes drive away. Was a good hotel for a one night stay.

The unit was much bigger than anticipated, we were a couple staying for 2 nights. Full kitchen, great pressure in the shower. Unit was warm and bed was comfy. It's a bit tired and there is cosmetic maintenance needed but was otherwise comfortable

Really enjoyed our quick stay at the AAA Thames Court Motel. Even though it's on the main road, we didn't hear any traffic noise. Would definitely stay here next time we are in Oamaru.

Great motel.

Good motel for a rest stop on our way to Dunedin. Nice clean spacious room. Comfy king size bed with good linen. Good sized bathroom with shelves in the shower! Very useful but rare! Although on the Highway room was quiet and good curtains cut out the light.

stayed here with the family for one night on our tour of New Zealand. Came to see the penguins. Owners were right on site to answer any questions and very informative. At the quiet end of town so no traffic but convenient to both dining groceries and shopping. Could walk to center of town in 25 minutes.

The room was nice & clean, enough space for 4 people. But I was not comfortable with speaking voice & footsteps from upstairs.
