We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and are happy to assist with any questions or alternative recommendations to ensure all guests feel welcome and supported.

Housekeeping

At Casa Nova House, we are committed to doing our part for a more sustainable future. As part of our Conserving for Tomorrow initiative, guest rooms are serviced daily, while bed linen and towels are changed every three nights to help reduce water consumption and the use of cleaning products. Fresh towels or linen are always available earlier upon request — your comfort remains our priority.


All guest rooms are thoroughly cleaned and prepared between stays, with fresh bed linen and towels provided for every new guest, ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness, comfort and care.

★★★★★ Glynis, United Kingdom – February 2026

  Lovely B&B in Oamaru. Highly recommended


"Host was very helpful, room was luxurious, breakfast excellent and private parking was easy. Bed was very comfortable, as was sitting area in room. 


Shower was gorgeous (I loved the tiles on the shower floor) and water nice and hot. Breakfast was made to order and included many options. The grounds were beautiful — really a top notch accommodation. We will be back!


Nothing really. Only caution is bedrooms are upstairs, though our host helped with carrying suitcases."
