About this property

Orla s Cottage is a 3 bedroom historic Oamaru Stone workers cottage built in 1906 and is just a few hundred meters from central Oamaru, the Victorian Precinct and numerous restaurants.

We have respected the original features in this home while adding modern comforts to make your stay truly unique to the Oamaru region.

Each bedroom has been beautifully appointed with high quality accessories and local historical treasures. The beds are all Hotel Grade beds with luxury mattress toppers, NZ woolen Duvets and locally made NZ merino wool blankets.

The interior Oamaru white-stone walls have been retained exhibiting original saw cuts and claw marks created in the quarrying and building process.

Being a restored original cottage the living areas are compact whilst the bedrooms are large with high ceilings.

There are also two air conditioning units in the cottage to ensure your stay is cosy in the winter and comfortable in the summer.

Don't judge a book by its cover!

This lovely three bedroom home suited my mother and I as we were traveling through the area. When we pulled up we were not sure it was the right place as the outside looks under par, however inside this lovely home is all you need with spacious rooms, a lovely lounge, kitchen, bathroom and very gracious hosts. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Orla's cottage is our personal holiday home in Oamaru and has been fitted out to reflect a holiday home (bach) feel while still having the creature comforts you would come to expect from higher end boutique accommodation providers around the world.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this old cottage when we first saw it online and bought it sight unseen!
It took some work but we are so proud of the work we have put into restoring the cottage with modern amenities while still keeping its old world charm.
