Oamaru sits on the east coast, and the colony's position at the end of Bushy Beach Road places it within reach of the main centres, with Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura all appearing among the nearby places. Dunedin lies a short drive to the south.
The attraction draws its following from the wildlife that gathers at the site, and the 192 reviews suggest a consistent stream of visitors making the trip. Bushy Beach Road marks the approach to the colony itself.
New Zealand is a long, narrow group of islands, so almost nowhere in the country is far from the sea, which shapes how visitors plan their routes. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
