Wine and Beer Lovers
Take a wine tour and indulge in beautiful local wines of distinction from the Waitaki Valley such as River T Wines and Ostler.
Or perhaps your preferred tipple is beer. Scotts brewery and Craftwork Beer are two highly recommended destinations for beer connoisseurs and fun loving samplers.

Big kids and little kids alike will love the Steampunk Park down at the harbour. The penny farthing swings,
elephant flying fox, pirate ship and mouse wheel are sure to delight.

The whole family will relish in a visit to Rainbow Confectionary's fabulous lolly shop, New Zealand's largest confectionary manufacture and producer of some iconic products including the original Kiwi Made Pineapple Chunks, Choc Coated Baby Fish, Marshmallow, Mints, Fizzies and a vast range of Gummi Confectionery.
