Creating boutique holiday homes in Oamaru that feel welcoming, stylish, and unforgettable
Welcome to Stylish Stays NZ — where comfort meets character in the heart of Oamaru.
​
Our boutique collection of holiday homes has been thoughtfully designed to blend modern style with timeless charm, offering guests more than just a place to stay. Each property has its own personality and story, deeply connected to Oamaru, with unique interiors, quality touches, and warm hospitality at their heart.
​
Our mission is simple: to create holiday home experiences that feel as welcoming as they are memorable. From family gatherings to romantic escapes, our homes are designed with comfort, character, and a touch of charm to bring people together and make every stay feel special.
​
More than just accommodation, Stylish Stays NZ is about creating moments you’ll treasure long after your visit —
Your charming home away from home in Oamaru.
Our vision is to be Oamaru’s most trusted and inspiring choice for boutique holiday homes — where thoughtful design, warm hospitality, and a sense of place come together to create experiences that guests want to return to, time and time again.
Kia Ora and Welcome,
​
We are Michele and Steve Laing, the founders of Stylish Stays NZ. Since June 2016, our vision has been simple: to create holiday homes that feel as comfortable as your own, with the warmth of thoughtful design and the ease of seamless communication.
​
Having stayed in many holiday homes ourselves, we discovered how perfect self-contained properties can be for families and friends — offering space, privacy, and the freedom to truly relax. Inspired by these experiences, we’ve curated a boutique collection of three unique homes — The Terrace, Quarterdeck, and Aqua on Reed — each with its own character and charm.
​
Stylish Stays is more than just us. Our wonderful team helps bring every guest experience to life. While Michele looks after styling, marketing, reservations, and communications, our much-loved cleaners, Rachel and Asmalina, ensure every home is beautifully prepared for your stay. As a family-owned business, we see our team as part of our family too.
​
Together, we are proud to welcome you to Stylish Stays NZ — places designed for comfort, connection, and unforgettable memories.
​
We look forward to hosting you.

— Michele & Steve
