Oamaru is a well-preserved Victorian sea port town with a very distinctive Oamaru stone. Oamaru is a small but passionate foodie destination with a historic precinct dating from early European settlement and gold-rush days.
Dominated by Mount Cook and the long Lake Pukaki in front, this area is great for hiking, glacier experiences, scenic flight, night sky star gazing, cycling and fishing.
