Oamaru is a vibrant little town with a lot activities plus the the little penguins getting around is very easy , I go often to Oamaru to visit friends eat at the start and garter, the theatre and art scene is nice.MartineNew Zealand - 10Scored 10

It's a really cool town, the victorian precinct is amazing and you can spend hours just walking and admiring the buildings. There's a farmers market on Sundays and a lovely train that departs from the front to Steampunk museum to the penguin colony. It's a short but beautiful ride. There are sea lions and seals everywhere and it's guaranteed you'll take nice pictures from them 😉

We loved Oamaru.
We loved Oamaru. It was a beautiful little town with stunning architecture and things to do. We enjoyed the steam punk HQ and the museums available to celebrate the towns heritage. Plenty of cafes and restaurants available and good quality food/ beverages.Parry - 8.0Scored 8.0

The penguin sanctuary was lovely and we saw penguins during the day in the nests. The evening tour was fully booked so get in early if you want to do that.. The steam punk museum was suitably odd and they were very friendly when we got caught in a downpour and stayed sheltering there while they were closing. Plenty of chance to see seals basking on the foreshore. The victorian precinct however was just a street - possibly more exciting if you are from New Zealand of Australia but we live in a property older than anything on the street so not really that exciting if you are from the UK or the older cities in the USLesleyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

A very pleasant surprise, was recommended to stop here by a friend, so glad we did. A quirky place , so much history. The Victorian quarter alone was wonderful. Steampunk also worth a look. Easy to walk around the town too. Ps some hilly streets 😀

This is a hidden gem of a town with unique stone architecture and history. I am biased because I worked here for two months years ago. Be sure to visit the garden and use the pool facilities if you have the time. And to top it off it is close to the Moreike Boulders... a must see.MarkUnited States

- 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 483 reviewsThe host was super nice. He showed us around the house and even showed us the best view rooms. Top floor middle rooms the best room. Breakfast was included. The bed was really comfy. It's really close to everything that you can walk there. Parking is available on site. Activities: I recommend the steam punk and a look around the park and sea side. I do not recommend the penguin viewing in Oamaru. Better to go to the one in Dunedin.
KiritikaFiji - From £62.41 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,159 reviewsClean room, it had everything we needed :) kitchen is small but well equipped and bathroom is nice too. There was a functioning new heater and beds were comfy. I especially liked that we could move the double bed, to create a massive triple bed so that our baby doesn't fall off her bed :D (of course, we moved everything back to original position when leaving). It is walking distance to town (even though we drove). Oamaru is great <3
NinaCroatia - From £92.19 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 141 reviewsAbsolutely stunning historic home! I had a very comfortable historic room with a beautiful modern ensuite. The room had a fridge, toaster, french press, and kettle with teas, coffee, sugar, and milk provided. Breakfast was simple and delicious, beautifully presented and delivered to your room. Keri is a wonderful host. If you ask, she will provide some of the history of the home and Oamaru. Wonderful stay!ShelleeUnited States
