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
