Our family stayed overnight at Midway Motel on our way home from Dunedin. The service we received was AWESOME. Karen went out of her way to make us feel at home & she brought us some cake when we arrived there. The place is just perfect, very well equipped, clean & tidy. Our family will for sure stay at Midway... More

Stayed here overnight with my son. Karen went out of her way to make us welcome and positively enthused about Oamaru, which was a real breath of fresh air after a very long couple of days driving. The units are, very clean and well equiped, beds comfy, good heater and the cake Karen brought up to us when we arrived... More

Very pleasant stay in a well equipped and comfortable room. Ken and Karen were very helpful with information on local activities (including penguin watch) which were spot on. The balcony with table and chairs was ideal to enjoy the evening sun. Plenty of parking. On main road but set back, so quiet.

Travelling solo on a motor cycle around NZ I arrived at the Midway motel on a wet afternoon. Karen ushered me into a dry parking area for the bike and offered to dry any wet clothing before I had even booked in. That was just the start of the great service I got from Karen and Ken. Nothing was too... More

Karen & Ken so friendly and are so keen to make your stay a pleasant one. Our room had a nice veranda facing afternoon and evening sun, ideal an evening drink. Spotlessly clean,roomy and well equipped. Helpful directions to points of interest in Oamaru, which are many and very quirky. The Victorian precinct is full of interesting and arty shops.... More

We went to participate in the North Otago A & P Show recently and just managed to book into Midway Motel, it was very clean and inviting. The owner Karen was aware that my wife had a problem with her back as she had fell off standing on a chair the night before and we still had to go to... More

Had another wonderful stay at the Midway Motel in Oamaru. What wonderful hosts Karen and Ken are! So thoughtful - last time when it was cold we came 'home' to our heaters on and this time when it was hot the curtains were closed to keep the heat out. What wonderful, thoughtful touches. We are always made to feel so... More

We have a very enjoyable stay at the Midway Motel with Karen and Ken, who greeted us and were extremely helpful. We were a group of 12 people in Oamaru for a weekend Linedancing event. We would recommend anyone to stay here .... as they will get very friendly and helpful service.

A wonderful welcome from the hosts and excellent accommodation for the price. Set back from the road so quiet and relaxing. All you could possible need for a brief stay. If you are like us you'll be here for the blue penguins. Don't miss them - they are great - but also don't neglect the town which has fascinating architecture... More
