Oamaru is an under valued spot but it is getting a better profile now with the Steampunk fraternity. I dont know of any place in NZ that rivals the old warehouse/port area. In many ways it is a good reflection of NZ circa 1920-30 and the time when wool and lamb ruled (and grain). From Belinda's place you can take this all onboard and relax at the end of the day in wonderful surroundings.
