Stay at Gimmerburn, Otago

The Maniototo plain is famous for its stunning landscape, surrounded by mountain ranges and covered by an endless big sky.

The cottage is just 5km away from our home, you can contact me by phone or email at anytime. 

Gimmerburn, Otago, New Zealand, has quiet country roads criss cross their way past meandering creeks and through the patchwork of rich pastoral lands in Gimmerburn. Enjoy views of Rough Ridge, the Hawkduns and the Kakanui Mountains. The big blue sky during the day gives way to an incredible dark sky at night.
