A lot has changed since 2015 @starthere. It’s really taken off. Tourism is booming, a huge amount of people have moved here mainly from Christchurch and because of that, house prices have shot up(although they are still relatively cheap). The council has developed the harbour area. There is a bike park for small children there now too which has been made to loo like Real miniature roads with stop signs and road markings. The coffee shop scene has really taken off too. They are everywhere. It’s grown so much that there is a huge visitor accommodation shortage too. You should come again. You would like it even more now I reckon

Yeah, I bet! Christchurch was a ghost town when we were there and Oamaru was super sleepy as well. Sounds like it's been a busy couple of year! We have a little boy now, sounds like a sweet as bike park! We'd love to come back, we're (kind of) in the neighborhood (Bangkok) so would love to get back there before leaving the region...
If you ever do come back to Oamaru do let me know. I may be able to give you some ideas on what to do or tell you the best time to come.
Will do, thanks for the offer!!! Same goes for you if you ever find yourself in Thailand :)
