🇳🇿 Dunedin vs. Oamaru: The Ultimate NZ Showdown

Spoiler: Oamaru wins my heart! 💙 🐧 Why Oamaru? 1️⃣ Penguin Paradise: Up-close encounters with blue & yellow-eyed penguins (no cameras, just awe!) More frequent sightings than Dunedin’s spots 2️⃣ Architecture That Wows: Dunedin’s "famous" train station? Empty & underwhelming 🚂 (sorry, fans!) Oamaru’s Victorian precinct = steampunk charm + cobblestone magic 🏰 3️⃣ Nature at Your Doorstep: 5mins to Moeraki Boulders (those alien-like stone spheres!) Shag Point fur seals just a short drive away 🤷‍♀️ Dunedin’s Downsides Larnach Castle is pretty… but NZ$40 entry for one castle? 🏰💸 Tunnel Beach: Often closed (weather’s moody 🌧️) ✨ Verdict: "If you must choose—Oamaru delivers more wow per mile!" #OamaruOrBust #PenguinWins #NZTravelDebates #SouthIslandGems
