Explore the Victorian Quarter of Oamaru

Step into the original charm of Oamaru’s Victorian district and explore Harbour Street, one of the world’s few fully intact Victorian streets. 

Wander along its historic stone buildings and imagine life as it was in the 19th century. Keep an eye out—you might recognize some locations from the Netflix series East of Eden. This is a street where history comes alive at every corner!

EXPLORE

The interactive guide from BaladoDiscovery introduces you to the architectural treasures of the Victorian district, including historical summaries that reveal the soul of the buildings beyond the walls…

ON SITE

This immersive tour tells the story of Oamaru's Victorian district. The visit is self-paced, assisted by your portable device. On site, you'll find galleries, shops, and artisans of both Art Nouveau and traditional art in a lively and vibrant atmosphere.

OPTIMIZED EXPERIENCE

Using the BaladoDiscovery mobile app is recommended for an on-site visit (rather than the website of the same name). The Preload option in the app will allow you to access the complete tour without Internet once you're there. 

Happy discoveries!
