    Description

    Kia ora welcome to the East Coast of the South Island! Penguins, seals, restaurants, Sunday market, limestone buildings, two pubs and good restaurants. Oamaru has it all!

    This week is demolition, painting and gardening. Please send us a message if you're keen to come stay. We are accepting couples and we have two comfy spare bedrooms to chose from at home!

    We are renovating and believe with a positive attitude, a bit of graft and some help from Workawayers, we can bring this 1918 Villa into 2024 dripping with old school charm!

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. We need help removing Oamaru Stone Blocks from the old chimney and removing nails from the walls.
