Where to park

​Free street parking is available for up to 2-3 vehicles directly outside Quarterdeck on Wharfe Street.

Wharfe Street is wide and generally quiet, making parking convenient and easily accessible throughout your stay.

 

​Please take care not to obstruct neighbouring driveways or access. 

And with so much of Oamaru within easy walking distance, you may find you can simply park the car and leave it there while you explore on foot.

Check-In

A warm welcome awaits

Quarterdeck offers easy self check-in, so you can arrive and settle in at your own pace.

Check-in Time - From 2pm

There's no need to meet us or collect keys elsewhere - everything you need to access Quarterdeck will be ready for your arrival.

Once you're inside, make yourself at home, take in the view and start enjoying your stay.

No problem. With self check-in, you're welcome to arrive at any time after the designated check-in time.

Arriving later?

Early Check-in?

We understand that sometimes you may arrive in Ōamaru a little earlier than planned. Early check-in may be available on request, and where we can accommodate it, we’re always happy to do so.

As our housekeeping team needs sufficient time to prepare Quarterdeck beautifully between guests, early check-in cannot always be guaranteed, particularly when we have guests departing on the same day.

Please contact us a day or two before your arrival to check availability. We’ll let you know as soon as Quarterdeck is ready to welcome you.

Locate the lockbox

The lockbox is located to the right of the main entrance (sliding door).

Enter the code

Line up the four numbers with the centre mark on the lockbox, then hold down the black button and gently pull the front flap open to retrieve the key from inside the box.

Once you have the key, please close the lockbox securely and shuffle the number combination so your access code is no longer visible.

When you check out, please remember to return the key to the lockbox, close it securely and shuffle the numbers again.

​Thank you for helping us keep Quarterdeck secure.
