Welcome

St Bathans township is an historical treasure, located en route between the skifields and vineyards of Central Otago and the wildlife and natural beauty of the Otago coastline.  

The town itself dates to the early 1860s when gold was discovered there; evidence of this can be seen in the spectacular Blue Lake, formed by the mining processes, and the architecture of the town’s remaining historic buildings, many of these registered historic places.

For further information on the town of St Bathans, see the Department of Conservation and Historic Places Trust websites.

Included in these original buildings is the former gaol (jail) and constable’s cottage, both built in 1884. 

The three bed-roomed cottage, with an elegant, sunny verandah overlooking the lake, is fully self-contained and offers free-to-air TV. The self-contained gaol with queen-sized bed is located on a terrace above the cottage. read more >
