"I was lucky enough to stay here while in Oamaru for work. From the moment I met Katrina and Brenda, I knew this place would be a 5 star. From the grounds, to the rooms and then to be topped off with the hosts, it was a superb stay.
My only disappointment was that I didn’t get to stay longer. Cheers!"

The perfect stay for our honeymoon.
"Brenda and Katrina could not have been more gracious, hospitable hosts. From the spotless McMullan Chamber with the incredible tile shower, to the gourmet breakfasts and INCREDIBLE evening cookies - we chose a perfect match for our honeymoon. Many thanks for a wonderful stay, inspiring grounds, and lots of advice on what to do during our 3 nights in Oamaru!"

"My friend and l stayed at Casa Nova House on 6 August. This property is nothing short of magnificent as was our host Brenda. We felt absolutely spoiled and so very privileged. Brenda extended every courtesy to us, was brilliant company as well as providing very helpful guidance. Big hug to Brenda and we will be back. The Juleses"
