  • History & Character

    The owners Andrea and David Ritchie have lovingly and carefully restored Olivers to new glories, yet keeping the character that embodies the history of Central Otago.   Olivers offers  11 rooms divided into Stables and Lodge accommodation look into the original centre courtyard and garden.

    The restoration of Olivers Restaurant and the opening of the café, bar and brewery was completed in Autumn 2015.   The complex now includes Olivers Restaurant, a café-bakery-delicatessen called the Merchant of Clyde, and the Victoria Store Brewery.

    During the day, sample the beers and pastries under Otago’s big open skies and in the evening, dine in front of the fire within the restaurant’s   stone walls.

    Olivers is a quality accommodation with plenty of history, character and warm hosts found in an area of New Zealand little known to international tourists.
