The hotel is situated in the centre of town on the main shopping street. It has two classes of room - we opted for the cheaper one which was comfortable but a little distant from the hotel lobby. The hotel is old and parts could do with refurbishment but is more than adequate at a very reasonable price for New... More

Although dated, and a little bit shabby, this hotel has some charm in keeping with the town. The room was spacious, and the bed comfortable, although the facilities pretty old (iron, heater, TV, sink all being in need of an update). The mini bar contents were very sparse, but the breakfast selection pretty generous, with a lot of flexibility. The... More

I chose this accommodation for our 1 night stay as it was very central to our needs and seemed to have great reviews from visitors in the past. Loved the olden style building inside and out, with modern luxuries inside your room (very classy bathroom with the best shower to stay in forever). Check-In and Check-Out was effortless and the...

The Victorian parts of this building are fantastic. There are wonderful ceilings to admire and reminders of the past. The neweer parts of the building have a 60s/70s feel but that is OK. The staff were great - helpful and friendly. This is not a 5 star hotel - but who cares - the rooms are adequate and clean and... More

Nice place to stay, clean and staff were friendly and helpful, good price also. I would recommend the Kingsgate Brydone to my friends and family. With being so central you could walk to the Old Victorian area, plenty of cafe's to choose from all within walking distance.

Having stayed at a lot of motels around New Zealand and Australia, I have found it amusing that so many accommodation providers seem to consider guest parking to be a second-thought instead of a vital part of the business. Those hotels and motels which do offer sufficient parking typically charge a small fortune for the space. Imagine my surprise when... More

We fell into Oamaru by chance on drive from Queenstown back to Christchurch. Once upon a time this town was a bustling port, then fell on hard times but now rejuvenating. The hotel we found on spec and were delighted by the service from reception and the quality of the room. Great meal at Filadelfios over the road too.

A group of us stayed here for a conference, held in the hotel. An older hotel with a more modern extension, this was comfortable and convenient. My room was in the newer part at the rear overlooking the port, away from traffic noise. I would stay again if I was visiting Oamaru.
