Oamaru & Waitaki Visitor Information Centre

09/01/2025

Kia ora, everyone, Harbour Street is starting to look really Victorian as the Precinct is prepared for the Netflix filming which starts this weekend.

Oamaru & Waitaki Visitor Information Centre at the front of 12 Harbour Street will remain open throughout next week, apart from Tuesday 14 January when the main filming in Harbour Street is planned.

Whitestone City, our hands-on heritage centre within the same building will be closed from Sunday 12 January, reopening Friday 17th January.

Very exciting times in Oamaru's Victorian Precinct!

Kia ora, everyone, here's the lists for who is open (or not) over the Xmas and New Year periods - 'x' means closed.

PLEASE TAKE THIS AS GUIDANCE, NOT GOSPEL! This information was collated from a combination of what was available from pages, websites and phone calls. Check directly with businesses/operators if you want to be 100% sure they'll be open when you want to visit.

BUSINESSES/OPERATORS: If we haven't got it right, please let us know and we can edit. If we have missed you off the list this time, let us know so we can include you next time.

FACEBOOK ADMINS: Please share this post, rather than just images, so if we do make any changes to the lists, folks clicking in to our post on your page will get the most updated versions.

Have a wonderful Xmas and New Year!

A reminder that Harbour Street will be closed to vehicles from tomorrow through to 28th April. Please see the attached map for disability parking options and loading zones. An ideal time to wander down Harbour Street with the family, take some photos without cars in the background and support our local businesses.
