Oamaru Bed and Breakfasts Reviews and Rates

Oamaru

Stayed in a fab place overlooking the Harbour. Full of works of art and great coffee table books!
Saw a double rainbow, you can see it if you look carefully, as we had heavy rain on the day we arrived. Oamaru was built on the Gold Rush followed by sheep farming and it's obvious from it's magnificent old bank buildings that it was once a wealthy …

Why is SH1 closed?

We woke up to a blanket of snow and it was pretty chilly outside as well as inside our campervan. We ate breakfast and then got ready to set off but somebody informed us that SH1 was closed due to the bad weather. We checked online where it said there would be an update at 12pm but the road was closed until further notice. We assumed the road …

Dunedin, Port Chalmers, Moeraki Boulders

Good sleep when I managed to drop off. Woke 7ish but was cosy so stayed in bed for a while, couldn't go on the internet as my quota had run out!! Got up eventually & had a shower then went out to take photos of some of the gardens & the sunrise.

When I came in for breakfast there were some others in from the Lodge. There was a good …

Shaken But Not Stirred

Did the earth move for you, dear??!

We woke to discover our fellow campers quite animated about something... "Did you feel it??!" someone asked excitedly. "Er.... no. Feel what?" we replied, wondering if we might have missed something vaguely significant.

It emerged that during the night a 7.5 earthquake had hit near Christchurch …

Der Ponyhof Teil 2

for english see below:


Das mit den Ponys hatten wir ja nun schon und haben uns auch daran gewöhnt, obwohl die Viecher meistens gar nicht mehr in ihrem kleinen Gehege sind, sondern sich die große Wiese mit den Schafen und den Kühen teilen, womit wir auch schon wieder bei unserem nächsten Erlebnis angekommen wären: Durch den Regen der …

Oamaru

19.04. – 21.04. Oamaru

(for English see below)

Endlich ging es nach Oamaru, die Stadt wo es eine deutsche Bäckerei geben soll (die sich allerdings später als holländisch rausstellte). Auf dem Weg dorthin machten wir noch den obligatorischen Stop an den Moeraki Boulders, das ist ein Strandabschnitt an dem sich ein Haufen …

Moeraki Boulders and Oamaru Penguins

We had a long distance to cover between Te Anau and Christchurch, so we decided to spend the night in the town of Oamaru. The town itself lays about half way to Christchurch and is home to the rare yellow-eyed penguin. As we drove up the east coast of the south island, we made a quick stop in Moeraki about 1 hour south of Oamaru. On the beach of …

Oamaru - back in time

Apologies for the last 2 entries, I might have been on the beers... Stopped at a couple of places on the way to Oamaru. A windswept part of the coast where sea lions live, hanging out with their mates, doing the usual fighting,swimming, chasing, sleeping. We watched them for a bit as you could get quite close and they didn´t bat an eyelid, or …
