El Gecko Bed and Breakfast Oamaru
"The wind and rain could not diminish our delight at having found your 'gem' of a B & B. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us". Diane & Brian, Devon, England.
A comfortable 19th century family home with fantastic views over town and harbour, El Gecko Bed and Breakfast is situated near Lookout Point, and is close to Oamaru's most popular attractions. The Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony and the Yellow Eyed Penguin Colony are both just over 1km away, within easy walking distance if you have the time. There is also a lovely walk at the (sea) end of Avon St, which takes you up to Lookout Point. From there you can follow the track around Cape Wanbrow and down onto the beach.
History- The details are sketchy, but we believe our home was built in the 1860's, by an English hotelier for his daughter. Mr Thomas Proctor owned several hotels and a boarding house in Oamaru's heyday, and before the Temperance Movement turned the town `dry'! The original house on the hill, and home to many different families over the years, El Gecko retains many of its original features. However, restoration is an ongoing process. As one of the oldest buildings in Oamaru, ours is a much loved and admired character home. People often comment that it has a 'lovely feel'. We certainly enjoy living here and hope you will enjoy your stay with us.
Your room has:
Its own private entrance, with parking right at the door.
Queen-size bed with quality linen, down duvet and electric blankets.
Private ensuite bathroom, with fan heater, heated towel rail, hair drier, large luxurious towels and bathrobes.
Radio and TV (including Sky on request), broadband internet access (free of charge).
Tea and coffee making facilities, including hot chocolate and plunger coffee, filtered water, home baking and a fresh fruit bowl.
A laundry service is available if required.
'Fabulous breakfast. We feel thoroughly spoiled.' Laura & Richard, Sydney, Australia.
The tariff includes a continental breakfast with
* fruit juice
* a choice of three different cereals
* fresh fruit and yoghurt
* toast and home made preserves
* tea and coffee
all enjoyed in the privacy of your room or in the lounge with amazing views.
Free internet access is also available in the sunroom off the lounge.
Barbara & Chris, Jordan & Kate look forward to welcoming you to their home with genuine Kiwi hospitality, offering friendly advice about things to see and do while in Oamaru. Alternatively, just relax and enjoy the view from comfy chairs in the study or unwind as you wander around our secluded garden.
Ensuring your comfort, while respecting your privacy, is our priority.
