13 Waipiata Domain Road, Patearoa-Waipiata, Central Otago

Waipiata - Otago Central Rail Trail

Central Otago Community Halls

Waipiata is on the Otago Central Rail Trail walking or cycling track. NZPlaces would love to see your pictures of this speck of a town, there should be a couple of churches and an 1899 hotel, along with the Waipiata-Hamiltons Public Library. The name 'Hamiltons' refers to the nearby mine, and town which used to have a population of 5000. There also used to be a large TB Sanatorium, then corrections facility at Hamiltons, but now it is a Christian retreat centre called En Hakkore, with some permanent residents.

The Taieri rather meanders through this area, making for several nice swimming holes and spots for fishing and kayaking.
