Passable

Superb

Liked: Very neat, clean and well looked after.
Disliked: The only noise we heard was from the door moving sometimes. It was not a tight fit with the draught excludeder, and you could see a bead of light around the edge of the door. The chairs sounded loud on the kitchen floor, and we could hear the neighbouring room's chairs scrape across their floor too. Other than that, and the fridge being a little noisy, it was great, very neat, clean and well looked after.

Superb, couldn't fault it. Would...

Liked: We were impressed at the spaciousness of the studio unit, with clearly defined kitchen, sleeping and living areas and plenty of room. By accident, rather than design, NorthStar was immediately adjacent to a church where we were attending a weekend conference. We could walk there through the carpark. That was a bonus!
Disliked: We love Oamaru, but the fluoridated water taste takes a bit of getting used to.

Lovely place to stay if...

Liked: Quiet at night, huge rooms, especially the bathroom, had a coffee machine in room, comfortable bed, well equipped with lights, desk, coffee table high enough to use for dining plus actual dining table. On-site restaurant that does room service.
Disliked: Bathroom sink was blocked and not fixed during our two night stay (it was the weekend however). No replacement coffee pods for day two. TV quite small for size of lounge. Could go with blackout blind over kitchen sink. Would prefer not to have to go into the bar to check in.

Very good

Liked: Massive room, nicely decorated, well kitted out and very comfortable. Great location for Whitestone Cheese deli and cafe which we also loved.
Disliked: The bar didn't live up to the description, barely any NZ wines, let alone Otago when it claimed to source local.Too far out of town to comfortably walk and no public transport.
