Olivers Lodge and Stables Clyde

Central Otago Gardens

This Heritage Accommodation is as authentic as it gets, here in Clyde. Oliver's Lodge and Stables has earned Category One status with Heritage New Zealand, and accolades for it's present day hospitality.

When there was almost nothing in Dunstan (later re-named Clyde), Oliver's was here. The first of these long lasting stone buildings went up in 1869 as Benjamin Naylor's store. And he built them well because he could, as he had already been trading since 1861. Storekeepers, being able to charge gold miners hefty prices for necessary goods, (see this advertisement for Naylor's wares) were often the first to make money in a mining town, and that's what happened here. Naylor, from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, became a local politician and an important character in the development of Clyde and was a close friend of Prime Minister Richard Seddon.

Since the advent of the Otago Rail Trail, Clyde has improved upon it's 20th Century status as a sleepy holiday town, and becoming a thriving tourist stop. But even before the cycle trail, these buildings received the treatment of landlady Fleur Sullivan, who first revived the Dunstan Hotel round the corner. Now Naylors Store is a comfortable small hotel, with a popular courtyard restaurant.
