Sorry to say our room did not meet the motel's name 'bella vista' because our view was hardly attractive (room 7)

Handy onsite parking and close proximity to food outlets with a short drive to the historical end of Oamaru. Room was very noisy at night as not double glazed and a lot of truck noisy made sleep hard,

Clean, functional accommodation; well placed in central Oamaru. Main road is a bit noisy, plus having McDonalds next door (and KFC across the corner). Efficient & friendly staff

Disappointed

We have been on holiday 3 weeks and have stayed in a couple of Bella Vista motels so we were disappointed with a few things. Could not pay at property. Paid over the phone, no choice to use EFT-POS and charged $5 to pay on credit card. Room was very small-had to put bags in bathroom. Needs some Exit Mould on silicone seals in shower. Charges $30 per hour for early or late check in. No cooking facilities- this is a motel not a hotel.

Centre of town to restaurants,coffee shops, and to a few long walks to the old town and hilltops with great views. The property had most requirements for me, except the news channels on TV, as in bbc world news and the fox and cnn channels, and free movie channels.
