I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum.
I loved the Victorian quarter and the Steam Punk museum. But my favorite was seeing the blue penguins arriving on the shore at the Penguin Sanctuary at the end of the wharf. Totally worth paying for premium seats.Guest review byJanineNew Zealand - 10.0
We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour.
We only stayed one night and did a whirwind tour. Steampunk to brewery to little blue penguins. Tees Street Cafe for breakfast and then we were off. I loved the quirkiness and historical charm and would like to go back. I think 2-3 nights would be more fun. Even 4 would be good. Everything close to each other though so still worth it for even 1 night. Magical!Guest review byTalchinsky - 10.0
the train, the old town, the seals the penguins.
the train, the old town, the seals the penguins. The Craftwork pub, the robot shop, the criterion, the kids playground, the farmers market...all doable in a weekend and all within easy walking distance. and a drive to Kakanui is worth it tooGuest review byLesleyNew Zealand - 8.0

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

- From US$114.37 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 586 reviewsGood location close to central Oamaru and the Victorian Quarter. The motel unit we stayed in was at the rear of the property in a quiet location therefore no road noise. In addition, the unit appeared to have been designed to prevent airborne and impact noise from attached units which is a big plus in terms of having a good nights sleepGuest review byIANNew Zealand
