🚨 SOMETHING NEW IS ROLLING INTO GIBBSTON… 👀
We've been keeping a little not-so-secret-secret.
And Hank is finding it very hard to keep quiet.
There's a new CCT home taking shape in Gibbston Valley…
A new place to grab a bike.
A new place to start an adventure.
And a pretty special place to finish one.

We'll tell you all about it tomorrow.

Rain? Mud? No problem. It’s all part of the adventure, and this duo embraced every bit of it on their Rail Trail in a Day ride this week!

Winter? Bring it on. This group of 17 proved the season is no barrier, riding our Rail Trail & Tracks journey from Daisy Bank to Middlemarch on the Otago Central Rail Trail. Crisp air, big scenery, and great memories made all year round.

Big groups love our Church to Church ride from Queenstown through Arrowtown to Gibbston Valley — with epic Alpine scenery, gold mining history, the AJ Hackett Bungy bridge, and plenty of winery stops along the way. This awesome group had their turn on the trails this week!

We are so excited for the reopening and rebranding of the pub in Oturehua on the Otago Central Rail Trail! Congratulations, team!

Rough Ridge Railway Hotel

Some places are more than just a pub, they're where stories are shared, friendships are made, and communities come together.

Today, we're incredibly proud to announce the next chapter for one of Central Otago's most iconic country hotels.

The Oturehua Railway Hotel is returning to its original name and will once again be known as the Rough Ridge Railway Hotel.

From 4 September, this historic hotel begins a new journey, honouring its rich past while creating an exciting future for locals, travellers, cyclists and everyone lucky enough to pass through our beautiful corner of the world.

The Rough Ridge Railway Hotel has welcomed generations of visitors to the Ida Valley, and we're excited to bring that name back to life. It's about celebrating our heritage, our incredible community, and everything that makes Central Otago such a special place to live and visit.

We can't wait to share what's in store over the coming weeks as we prepare to reopen the doors under the Rough Ridge Railway Hotel name.

Here's to preserving history, supporting our community, and creating many more memories together.

Welcome back to the Rough Ridge Railway Hotel.
