“Federation house is a wonderful base to explore the amazing town of Oamaru. It is certainly foolish if you don't spend a little more time in this part of New Zealand if you are returning from or returning to Christchurch. I will certainly stay...”

Rodger McCaw

A heritage house 100 years old built elaborately and restored aesthetically to maintain character for a unique perspective on architecture by a typical D.I.Y. making the most of what's already there.

Like to maintain an above average level of fitness for life. Good to have intelligent conversation on occasions and like to eat well being health conscious.

A very good area on Cape Wanbrow overlooking the town and sea with many prominent houses in an established urban haven.
