  The Oamaru Victorian precinct is the heartbeat of the Oamaru heritage as it is a group of limestone buildings that can take one back to the 19th century . Previously the crowded warehouses and business centers, they are now home to artisan stores, galleries and cafes. The precinct is more like a living museum that is being walked through; stories of merchants, sailors, and settlers fill the cobblestone streets. Architecture as heritage: The limestone facades of the precinct were a symbol of the wealth that Oamaru enjoyed in the Victorian period. Although some of the heritage in many towns exists behind glass, the same cannot be said in this case where heritage is lived and breathed. Interactive experiences: Visitors can wear Victorian clothes, ride penny-farthings , and take heritage tours to experience the past. Invention: The precinct is not all about nostalgia, it is about reinventing heritage to fit the contemporary audience. These historic spaces are used to display innovat...

  One of the most interesting historic sites in New Zealand is the small town of Arrowtown located on the banks of the Arrow River in Central Otago . This scenic town is only a few minutes out of Queenstown and it has become a destination of travellers in search of more than adrenaline. Arrowtown is something more: an opportunity to go back in time, stroll down cobbled streets, and drown in the environment of one of the most real historic villages NZ has to offer. The key to the specialness of Arrowtown is the fact that it does not turn into a museum of the past. It is a town in life, with heritage buildings featuring contemporary cafes, shops, and galleries, and with the history of miners, settlers, and immigrants continuing to be remembered through museums, festivals and walking trails. The Gold Rush Legacy The history of Arrowtown starts with the finding of gold in the Arrow River in 1862 by a prospector known as William Fox . This was the only incident that changed the peacef...

It is a place where you can breathe deeper, stay longer and explore the beauty of the peaceful lake towns NZ. In this blog, we are going to discuss why Wanaka is the best Queenstown alternative that one may visit and enjoy both nature and peace at the same time. Wanaka Slow Travel: A Philosophy in Action Wanaka slow travel is not simply about going slow, but rather about getting into the beats of the town, the town and its environment. Wanaka makes you stop in contrast to Queenstown where the energy is high-octane and the streets are full of tour b...
