Oamaru is the hub of the Waitaki region on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. The region is famed for its dramatic, unspoilt landscape, superb wildlife, renowned Victorian architecture and strong links to New Zealands pioneering past.
Oamaru's Historic Precinct boasts the finest intact Victorian streetscape in the Southern Hemisphere, featuring buildings quarried from local Oamaru stone and now housing traditional trades and craftspeople, restaurants, galleries, a Victorian pub, German bakery, whisky bond store and the famous Penguin Entertainers Club.
Oamaru is also home to the worlds smallest penguin, the Blue Penguin. Visitors can experience the nightly penguin parade as the birds return to their nests from a days fishing just a few metres in front of them.
Dont be fooled by Oamarus laid back pace and natural charm! Its endearingand most importantly, its real!
