"Our Wedderburn stay was great, from all aspects. Accommodation was cosy and good, and we had a fun meal at the pub! The farm tour was fascinating, as it gave such a good idea of the district's possibilities. It was good to meet the Duncan family, and coffee and scones were delicious."

"I well remember the Wedderburn experience! Wonderful hospitality and excellent meal; cosy and comfy units.

The welcome extended by the Duncan's was greatly enjoyable; I loved the morning tea at the Homestead. Very interesting to hear of the 5th generation "on the ground" and the development of the farm. The huge mobile irrigation system and the cattle greeting us.

"We certainly remember the Farm Tour and accommodation provided by the Duncans. Pauline and I stayed in the old farmhouse and we certainly were more than comfortable.

We had a nosey in one of the new chalets and they also impressed us. We found the facilities more than adequate and staying so close to both the trail and the pub was so convenient.

It is certainly a part of the trail that I felt was appreciated by all on our tour. It is, I suspect, another display of Southern hospitality by a family, who are very proud of their heritage and want to share that with the traveling public, for example the old 1906 stables. I would recommend that part of the tour to anyone."

"We visited the Duncan's farm Wedderburn during our Pure Trails bike ride. We greatly enjoyed the experience and we appreciated the farm tour and the way in which the Duncans answered our questions. The morning tea and scones also went down very well. The sharing of information about NZ high country farming in this time of urbanisation promotes a better understanding for many urban people which is so necessary. All the best for future farm tours."

"What a great 9 holes of golf. This is the first golf course in the world that I have ever played on where I could walk on to water and Tee off on ice!"

Winter comment

After 40km of riding the Otago Rail Trail most beds look good but the cottages at Wedderburn make the end of the day a treat.
The rail trail passes through the middle of the cottages so it is possible to only have to go 10 metres from the trail to your room. The cottages are self contained with their own bathroom and kitchen. The furniture choice in our room was unusual with one chair and a footlocker (I guess if it is wet or snowing you could bring in the small table and chairs from the deck).
The only choice for eating in Wedderburn is the tavern which does huge reasonably priced meals but don't cross the owner, he has got a sharp tongue.

best place we stayed on the rail trail. wonderful set up. like little rail cottages. deck faces east, so brekkie is in the sun looking out over the big sky that is central otago. we didn't eat at the wedderburn pub, as we were booked to go curling at Naseby and then dinner at the Ancient Britton pub. that was great. curling is a must. the owners of the cottages are wonderful and "dad" is fountain of info about the area. highly, highly recommended.

This was brillant for our family of four biking the rail trail. Loved the complimentary use of laundry. The clean, comfortable cottages with great views. The wedderburn tavern (at the end of the driveway) roasts are the best ever.
