Oamaru's Premier Destination
Perched where Oamaru's limestone cliffs meet the Pacific horizon, Ravessianluxecourt pulses with the energy of a live gaming floor, chef-crafted dining, and rooms built for genuine restoration. Every hour here is designed to leave you sharper, livelier, and more alive than when you arrived.
Our casino floor sits fewer than 400 metres from Oamaru's famous Victorian precinct, meaning guests can move between heritage bluestone architecture and live table games within the same evening stroll - a combination found nowhere else on the South Island.
The kitchen maintains direct supply agreements with seven Waitaki Plains growers, so the salmon, heritage-breed lamb, and stone-fruit on your plate were harvested within 90 kilometres of the dining room - a freshness standard that shapes every menu we write.
A dedicated hotel naturalist leads small-group sunrise walks to the Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony at the historic harbour - an active, invigorating start available exclusively to Ravessianluxecourt guests before the site opens to the general public each morning.
Executive Chef Mara Tūhoe builds every menu around the principle that food should fuel the day ahead, not merely mark the end of it - so expect bold, protein-forward plates and vibrant vegetable preparations sourced from the hotel's Waitaki Plains partners. The main dining room, Tyne & Table, offers à la carte breakfast through late supper, while the intimate eight-seat Chef's Counter runs a five-course tasting menu on Friday and Saturday evenings featuring dishes like seared Aoraki salmon with fermented plum and crispy lamb shoulder with Waitaki gold potato terrine. By day the room is flooded with north-facing Oamaru light; by evening the limestone walls glow amber under candlelight, creating a dining atmosphere that feels genuinely alive rather than ceremoniously hushed.

Ravessianluxecourt is the only property in North Otago where a fully operating casino floor shares a roofline with harbour-view suites and a kitchen sourcing produce directly from the Waitaki Plains. The casino at Ravessianluxecourt is open daily and remains one of the most talked-about reasons visitors extend their stay in Oamaru. Oamaru's extraordinary Victorian limestone streetscapes, the Steampunk HQ just minutes away, and the little blue penguin colony at the harbour make this city one of New Zealand's most kinetically charged destinations - and we are planted at its beating heart. Stay here and you leave not merely rested but genuinely galvanised, carrying the coastal momentum of this remarkable South Island town long after checkout.
The casino floor at Ravessianluxecourt spans 1,800 square metres across two connected halls, with electronic gaming and live tables for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and poker. The casino is arranged for clear movement between games, host desks, and quieter seating, with staff available to explain floor procedures and current table availability. Guests can plan a casino session around dining, rooms, fitness, and concierge support without leaving the property. For visitors building an Oamaru stay around gaming, the Ravessianluxecourt casino remains the central experience of the hotel.
Luxurious retreats crafted for the most discerning guests
Harbour Sightline
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the same pale Oamaru stone that built this town's Victorian streetscapes, while the hand-loomed wool throws and underfloor heating keep the South Island chill firmly outside. A curved writing desk and reading alcove mean this suite works just as hard for the energised early riser as it does for the wind-down hour after a night on the casino floor.

Designed around the visual rhythm of Oamaru's protected Victorian Harbour, this room positions your king bed so the first light off the Pacific is the thing that wakes you - no curtains necessary if you choose. Locally quarried whitestone accents on the headboard wall give the space a tactile, mineral quality that no wallpaper or print could replicate.
Private Rooftop Terrace
Named in direct homage to the city's beloved Steampunk HQ just down the road, this two-level penthouse layers burnished copper fixtures, exposed riveted joinery, and custom gear-motif ironwork into a space that feels boldly inventive rather than merely decorated. The private rooftop terrace gives you an unobstructed sweep from the Waitaki foothills to the open Pacific - a panorama that rewards the short elevator ride every single time.
