Casa Nova House

Casa Nova is a luxurious, beautiful, and comfortable B&B. The hosts carefully restored the building with incredible attention to detail. The bedroom felt luxurious with very comfortable, high-quality bedding, and a small balcony with a view over the grounds and across Oamaru with the ocean in the distance. I especially loved the high-pressure shower. The hosts, Brenda and Katrina, excel in hosting, as well, making us feel very welcome during our two-night stay and sharing many tips with us for our two days in Oamaru (like many tourists, we were there mainly to see the little blue penguins, and we also got lucky in sighting yellow-eyed penguins at Bushy Beach). With only three guest rooms, the hosts attend to carefully to everyone, and the delicious hot breakfast is fully customized based on each guest's preference. Casa Nova is a lovely accommodation and was a highlight of our trip around the South Island of New Zealand. We highly recommend staying here when in Oamaru.

This is a special place to stay in a special town. Warm and friendly hosts, exceptional attention to detail, best minibar ever, luxurious bed, linen and towels, superb breakfast, on-site quality restaurant and interesting history. We have no hesitation in recommending Casanova House and are thrilled we were able to stay here. A fabulous experience.

Perfection from start to finish.We loved every minute of this place. From the amazing friendly hospitality of Brenda and Katrina to the luxury and comfort of the rooms. We stayed in the oh so comfortable McMullan Chamber light and roomy. And the breakfasts......!
