The Wansbeck

About The Wansbeck

True Coastal Romance. The Wansbeck which has all the stunning architecture of an historic home is warm and comfortable and suitable for 21st century living. The house is set high on Wansbeck Street with panoramic views over Oamaru and out to sea. From your accommodation at The Wansbeck explore the Penguin Colony and the famous Victorian Precinct . The Precinct invites you to experience the atmosphere of the 1860s, amazing food and fine wines and creative Steampunk art forms all within walking distance from The Wansbeck.

Our three rooms, the Monterey Room which is our premiere room with private balcony, your own fridge stocked with local delights, TV and coffee bar, the Steinbeck Room in honour of the famous author, and the Garden Room provide comfort and relaxation. All rooms have queen beds with plush bedding, hardwood floors and lush rugs and amazing views over Oamaru and the sea, the Steinbeck Room having an extra single bed.

The vision from all three bedrooms is reminiscent of Monterey Bay in California. Experience the vast sweep of coast of Oamaru Bay rimmed in white surf from Cape Wanbrow sheltering Friendly Bay at the foot of Wansbeck Street where boats ride at anchor and heading north as far as the eye can see.

Wake up refreshed to a complimentary breakfast cooked or continental in the hospitality of our dining room.

True coastal romance inspires your stay at The Wansbeck.
