Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint...
Not much to do in Oamaru, will recommend visiting the quaint museums, Oamaru heritage museum (pay/donate as you wish) and steampunk museum (NZD$15/pax). both were interactive and we enjoyed it with the helpful stuff. the day was a cloudy and rainy so we opted out of visiting the penguins - they have a live youtube stream of the penguins coming home which we watch. We did visit the penguins tour during the day, which was open to public and saw some fur seals relaxing. To watch the penguins coming home, it's NZD$45 per pax, which we thought was a little expensive. + the weather being bad, we decided to watch them online instead.Guest review byVerenaSingapore - 10.0

We went for the penguins but could have spent another day wandering around the Victorian Precient, Steampunk HQ and lovely shops of Oamaru. Also nice that it is only 30 minutes away from Moeraki Boulders. Riverstone Castle and Kitchen make a great stop too on the way down from Christchurch.Guest review byStacyUnited States - 10.0
I love Oamaru for a visit.
I love Oamaru for a visit. It is a very pretty place to visit with the historic area quite special. There are plenty of great places to eat, excellent shopping and being on the coast it has lovely views of the ocean. The blue penguin experience is well worth doing also. Riverstone restaurant is an absolute must if you enjoy excellent food. Highly recommend a visit there.Guest review byDebraNew Zealand - 10.0
Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean.
Gorgeous settlement - by the ocean. Stunning historical buildings, vibrant shops filled with goodies, Sunday market brimming with organic produce - vegetables, honey, cheese, soaps, lotions, coffee and yummy treats. No junk - wonderful homemade produce at exceptionally good prices, for example - two cheese rolls and a cup of soup for $9.Guest review byAnonymous - 10.0

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,276 reviewsAll the rooms were decorated in a different quirky style, as was the lounge area, in keeping with the Steam Punk theme of Oamaru. Our room had a skii theme and our friends room had a farming theme. The hotel location was right in the centre of the town near all the shops. We could park in the supermarket car park next to the hotel. In the evening we visited the penguin colony and saw the little blue penguins jumping out of the sea and scurrying to their burrows.Guest review byLindaNew Zealand

Very welcoming 3rd time staying here & would stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting OamaruGuest review byAlisonNew Zealand
- From £78.48 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 654 reviewsThis is a quirky B&B close to Oamaru. Roger was a really attentive host, encouraging us to relax and use the space available. He gave some great tips on the location, to see the penguins and local restaurants. Room and bathroom was spotless, but it was so cold we put the electric blanket on! Breakfast was an unexpected bonus. Thankyou!Guest review byNickUnited Kingdom
- From £60.41 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.8Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 869 reviewsThe building looks more like a house than a hotel. There were many decorations in the house, especially decirations of penguins, which made it very lovley. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. There was also a massage chair. The accommodation is also very close to all the major attractions in Oamaru.Guest review byJenniferFinland
