Indoor Curling is a lot easier than you may think! Bring your friends and family and come along to the only dedicated indoor curling rink in the Southern Hemisphere! Rink is heated - but have a warm top. Options for all ages/abilities. Lounge/bar - viewing area. Flat shoes (runners) ie :no jandals/sandals/heels. Great fun for all!

This is such a fun activity especially if you are with a group doing the Otago Rail Trail...They give you full instructions and then you can experience a fun game...would highly recommend it especially for groups.

I was delighted to have found Alan's gallery today. He welcomed me into his place and guided me though his amazing art. Art that is created with his whimsical style, and astonishingly all water colour (you wouldn't guess with some of it). I adored meeting this wonderful soul and hope one day to purchase a piece of his art. It is the type of art that you look at with such fondness and awe.

Thank you Matt so much for a lovely afternoon we had at Maori Point. We were blown away by your fantastic approach to wine, land and the relaxed experience you provided us with. I cant believe we have not visited you before but certainly we will come back for more Rose, Pinot and everything else...Maori Point is a must visit while in Central Otago. Cant wait to visit again.

Near new cottage which sleeps up to five (2 bedrooms with queen bed each, camp bed in lounge).Beautiful views all around, short drive to town. The family Border Collier Maddy greeted us as our car drove in. The cottage is very well equipped, with dishwasher, induction cooktop,laundry and cloth drying rack.The fridge has bread, milk, yoghurt for our breakfast. They provide packets of cereal, jam, peanut butter, honey, Marmite. I have travelled around the world but i must say i am very impressed with Weavers estate wine's cottage. I hope the owners will get as lot of bookings and build more cottages.
