Evolving from an idea in the mideighties, this heritage village has been developed by volunteers over the years. Some buildings have been re-built from stone from the original buildings while others are a faithful re-creation built to modern building code. It is not only a delightful and free visitor attraction with historical displays and charming buildings, but also a hub for artists and craftspeople. The schist stone cottages and shops are tenanted by a quality-focused arts collective, international-standard printmaker, renowned goldsmith, a colourful fibre artist and a plant expert and maker of herbal creams and perfumes. There are also unique gift outlets and three great cafes. The historic displays tell the story of the incredible 1860s gold rush when sparsely populated Central Otago was suddenly inundated with thousands of hopeful prospectors. Children love the talking ‘locals’ who tell the yarns, life-size horses and secret alleyways, as well as the ducks, fishing wharf and picnic areas. Named in 2014 as one of New Zealand’s best ‘hidden gems’ by AA Directions Magazine, the precinct is gradually being discovered by overseas visitors, Kiwi families, makers of television commercials and locals. Situated on the corner of Melmore terrace sits the oldest pub in Old Cromwell & the Central Otago District, overlooking the glorious views of Lake Dunstan. We cater to all with our extensive lunch, evening & takeaway menus including delicious barista coffee. We have the facility for large groups in our upstairs Function Room another chance to check out our lake views. 03 445 06<strong>07</strong> open Hours Monday & Tuesday 2pm-late Wednesday-Sunday 11 am-late Lunch: Thursday-Sunday 12pm-2 pm Dining: Monday-Sunday 5.30pm-9 pm On Holiday in Cromwell?

southern holiday destinations spring-summer 2020 cRomwELL 31 oBJeCtS oF art oCta gaLLery Located in the heart of Cromwell Heritage Precinct, the workshop of Les Riddell is a wonderland of handcrafted jewellery, art objects and curios. Aptly touting the name Objects of Art, everything found in the gallery has a one off, creative appeal. Whether it is constructed from gold, silver or platinum, bone, antler or stone, there is something for everyone. Custom made work is only limited to your imagination and insured worldwide shipping helps you get it back home. Many a customer has entered with the trepidation of receiving a rustic root canal. While much of the equipment is related to that found in dental venues, Les assures his visitors that though he can offer a long slow root canal, trying on an array of glittering rings will be much more satisfying. After all, the Murrell cottage once stood as the simultaneous office of the local dental clinic, watchmakers and mayoral seat, all held by the talented Mr Murrell. After 120 years, Les has brought the cottages use full circle, though he has yet to run for mayor. A pretty clever fellow, we wouldn’t put it past him. Stop in on your visit to the Heritage Precinct. You will be inspired by the finished jewellery and be able to view it all in the making through the gallery windows!
