Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I stumbled across this gem while visiting with family from Wellington recently. What a find! This little gallery is full of fun, quirky and beautiful things! It had a wide range of art/design goods sourced from local/New Zealand artists and designers. I purchased a beautiful up-cycled vintage plate featuring a regal sparrow! A design by the owner of this gallery and a local Oamaru artist. I also couldn't resist purchasing a gorgeous faux taxidermy deer head made out of a re-roved NZ wool blanket. Both purchases are very quirky and unique! I could have gone mad if money wasn't and option! Service was great and I have since brought a couple of presents for friends via the Art on Tyne face book page. Its certainly well worth a visit if your passing through Oamaru! I loved it and I certainly left with a smile on my face!

Visiting "Art On Tyne" is a MUST for anyone that will be in Oamaru. This wee art oasis was a breath of fresh air after visiting so many souvenir laden shops. The art is original and New Zealand made and there is such a well curated selection available. I was able to get beautiful treasures for myself and my family back in the USA.

OMG!! I love this shop.
Everytime we're down in Oamaru I always pop in.. I always get greeted in a friendly manner. (Recognized from FB)
I always have to purchase something, I just love the shops stock, and to add if I see anything I fall in love with through their Facebook page I send a message and get it via post.
I could not recommend this shop to anyone that's visiting Oamaru especially the old part. They have the most fabulous handmade jewelry made my very talented designers.
I can't wait till my next visit to Old Oamaru. 😊

I live in Melbourne and recently purchased a gorgeous piece of art work from the shop online. I had issues with my bank doing an international cheque. The staff member I dealt with from Art on Tyne was exteremly patient while I sorted out issues with the payment from my end and would answer my emails straight away. Very professional and friendly. It was refreshing to deal with such a helpful and kind and professional person. Would recommend stopping in to check out this shop if you are in Oamaru or online as there is such an arrange of beautiful pieces to purchase.
