Ranfurly

Ranfurly, named after the fifth Earl of Ranfurly, the 15th Governor General of New Zealand, is the small service centre for the Maniototo area. The town makes a feature of the Art Deco style of some of its buildings which is attributed to the necessity for rebuilding after a series of disastrous and suspicious fires in the 1930s.
A pamphlet is available to guide you on the "Rural Art Deco Ranfurly Walk".
Ranfurly is on the Central Otago Rail Trail.
