The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem.
The North Otago (base in Oamaru) area is a hidden gem. Penguins, seals, steam punk, cheese factory, crayfish and blue cod at Moeraki, historic sites. And good restaurants in Oamaru and the area (Whitestone Diner -- as long as you like cheese, Fat Sally's, Fishwife, Moeraki Tavern, Hampden Fish shop and others). We go back regularly and the area rarely disappoints. To enjoy fully you need a car.

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 😀

DuncanNew Zealand - From $120.29 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,099 reviewsWe were completely blown away by this hotel! The lobby is absolutely gorgeous. It is filled with artifacts and antiques displayed in interesting and new ways. You have to see it for yourself to understand how creative and incredible it is. The room is eclectic and chic at the same time. It is super comfortable and impeccably clean. What a thrill to stay at a hotel that is clearly a labour of love.PamCanada
- From $120.29 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,099 reviewsThis is a magical experience that lent in to the character of the city, theming each room with a selection of vintage pieces. The hostess are welcoming and communication recommends local restaurants which were outstanding. The hotel is by far the highlight of our 24 hour visit to Oamaru with a supermarket at the back door so that we could grab a bottle of wine and enjoy the facilities.
PaulNew Zealand - From $176.83 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 406 reviewsA very friendly, welcoming young lady greeted me on arrival. The room was lovely, large, and very clean. Comfortable bed. Loved the location - it was in a very tranquil setting. May not suit everyone as you need transport to drive to restaurants and shops. I stocked up in Oamaru before my stay. A very restful place to chill out. Take some reading material with you. TV reception?JenniferAustralia

Lovely looking motor lodge, with a manned reception which made everything easy. Staff were great, comfortable beds and very clean and fresh. A little way out of town, but only if you want to walk to town. Quiet and we would stay here again. Thanks
