Very interesting and quaint decor! Definitely a creative and postmodern perspective on incorporating the history of the building and town into the design.

The motel is just a stone's throw away from the city centre. The room was very spacious for a 2 person stay with a private car porch. The host was very friendly and offered advice on tips to see the blue penguins.

The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem.
The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others). We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

Oamaru is a vibrant little town with a lot activities plus the the little penguins getting around is very easy , I go often to Oamaru to visit friends eat at the start and garter, the theatre and art scene is nice.MartineNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride. There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage. Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.Parry - 8.0Scored 8.0

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore. The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the USLesleyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀

- From $227.33 per night9.4Scored 9.4WonderfulRated wonderful· 207 reviewsNeeded to stay the night en route back from Pink concert in Dunedin. Arrived in Oamaru at 1.30am, tired and ready for bed! Opened the door and voila! We were greeted by the warmth of the heat pumps, lights were on ready for us, and the decor was simply beautiful. We fell into the gorgeously presented beds and all - 2 adults and 3 young ones, -and all slept like logs. I feel like making an excuse to go to Oamaru again just to stay there, and have time to really enjoy the harbour views and generous outdoor living area!
JulieNew Zealand - From $113.66 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 54 reviewsA wonderful location , so close to town yet so very private, tucked in out of the wind with amazing sunset views. My wife loved the outdoor bath under the stars . . Every thing was well thought out and we had everything we needed .We had spent our previous 5 nights in a “luxury” hotel in Dunedin but to us this was , though different, a great deal better . Even the bedding and pillows were better and the room size not that much different .A great place to stay . Gerald and TriciaGGeraldNew Zealand
- From $92.16 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 485 reviewsRoger the host was very welcoming and had provided everything we needed for our comforts. The bed we slept in was the most comfortable of anywhere we have stayed. It was a bonus to be able to chat with other guests in the dining room, something you don't get in motels or hotels. Great view too. There was the initial shock of our surroundings as it is a house full of incredible stuff but it was more interesting than off putting. An experience we will remember for a long time.DeniseNew Zealand
- From $294.91 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 379 reviewsFantastic little place with a lot of atmosphere! the room had a lot of space, it was clean and super comfortable. The staff was amazing and welcoming, making us feel at hone, as every request was answered immediately. the internet was slow, but the hotel manager warned us before we even knew that there is a general issue related to the entire area, so it’s not the hotel’s fault. the AC a bit noisy, but it didn’t matter much as this hotel is a gem!Ruth JohnsonUnited States of America
- From $52.22 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 526 reviewsI liked the location of The Empire Hotel, it is very close to where my friends live, as well as being close to the Victorian Quarter. The Staff were very pleasant, there is a nice feel/ atmosphere to the place. May I suggest that a couple more tables be put in the parlour, for people to eat at. I liked the Cleanliness too, but not the hard pillow. No problem I will return and will recomend The Empire to others.JulieNew Zealand
- 9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 220 reviewsThe layout was lovely and social. Cosy and welcoming. Beautiful gardens so close to the beach. Shame only spent one night would have loved to have spent more time there. Well equipped kitchen and great decor. Very clean and organized slept like a log. Loved Oamaru too quirky art galleries right up my street. With good selection of restaurants 10 mins away. All good 👍SarahUnited Kingdom
- From $52.22 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 526 reviewsThanks to the hospitable and friendly staff it's been for me the very best accommodation in New Zealand. I was very greatful to them even for not being so strict with checking out times, free left luggage room and so on. And Oamaru itself - you must visit the town to understand the atmosphere. Would love to come once again.Luboš SuchýCzech Republic
- From $135.17 per night8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 28 reviewsThis was such a fantastic place to stay in Oamaru. The location could not have been better — right in the middle of Old Town, but tucked off the street which meant there was no noise. The place was wonderfully decorated and had everything you could need, and the fire was a nice touch. Highly recommend.SjaanNew Zealand

Good location and close to not only "the history" of the community, but also good restaurants close by (and they give LARGE portions.....we split our Blue Cod meal!!!). The hotel really is unique with all the variety of wallhangings and parking was not a problem.
