Otago & Central Otago Links
The links below will take you to Accommodation or Activities websites that we have personal experience of, or our guests have enthusiastically endorsed
Our guests tell us about the special things they see and do
Here are the best of them
 | Kinloch Lodge | Gateway to the Routeburn, Greenstone, Caples, and Dart/Rees. A magical part of NZ's highcountry |
| Omakau Hotel | We discovered the Commercial by chance. Needed a place to stay, and there it was. Excellent |
 | Te Araroa Trail | Not for the fain hearted. The Otago section is from Lake Ohau to Lake Whakatipu |
| Clean Clean Green Images | Gilbert deserves a special mention. He supplied some of the photos on the site, and as well as his work, he also offers photographic tours |
| Over the Top Helicopters | Explore Central Otago from the air |
| Trail Journeys | Everything for the cyclist wanting to explore the Rail Trail |
Stewart Island Electricity is generated using diesel fuel
Sails Ashore is Solar Powered
But we now produce 100 % of our electrical needs, and are completely "Off Grid", Excess electricity is used to heat our domestic hot water and central heating system and this has cut our non renewable heating fuel usage to around 20% of pre solar.. All cooking is electric, no more LPG. See More .......
Kowhai Lane is also Solar powered,
Kowhai Lane is "Grid Tied" Excess production is used to heat water. Production beyond the house requirements is exported, thus cutting diesel use in the wider grid. At night Kowhai Lane Lodge receives power from the grid.
Like Sails Ashore, all cooking is electric,,,,, No LPG
