“Ayrburn is first and foremost for the locals. They will have the greatest appreciation for the work we’ve done and the spaces we’ve created.”
Feature | <strong>Magazine</strong> 39 What have been some of the highlights and challenges along the way? Highlights have been the amazing group of designers and artisans who have shared a passion for Ayrburn and an enthusiasm for their work that I have never seen in over 30 years of doing this. The challenges have been the excessive bureaucracy and resultant time and money wasting that the local authorities have put us through. Ayrburn is both for visitors to the region but also for locals, right? Ayrburn is first and foremost for the locals. They will have the greatest appreciation for the work we’ve done and the spaces we’ve created. Ayrburn was the social hub of Queenstown back in the day and played host to the A&P Show and many district-wide social events for many years. We hope it again becomes the hub for locals to get together and have fun, and this is foremost in our minds. As well as our locals, we want visitors to treat Ayrburn as a must-do every time they come to Queenstown. Book your flights, book your Ayrburn visit. What are some of your personal favourite spaces? My favourite is The Burr Bar. It’s named after a great mate that I bought the property from, and is located in what was Billy Paterson’s original homestead when he settled the farm in 1864. These very first settlers to Queenstown had the pick of where to put their houses and it’s no accident he put this one where he did. There’s nothing better than sitting outside The Burr Bar in the late afternoon sun and then retreating inside to enjoy the character and ambiance of the old cottage. How does it feel to have Ayrburn complete and open to the public? It’s fantastic. The highlight for me is seeing people of all generations getting together to have fun among all the unique treats that Ayrburn has to offer. Anything you can tell us about future plans/ developments for Ayrburn? We have one of our upmarket Northbrook luxury later living villages approved for the grounds of Ayrburn. With 150 apartments and loads of amenities, it will also be a fantastic addition to the district and will be well sought-after. We also have seven prestige homes and a 20-room boutique hotel approved for the wider 55ha site. Anything else people might be surprised/ interested to learn? That the Ayrburn food and wine precinct is only half-done. Stage one is complete, but there are at least another four amazing venues, including the flagship Billy’s restaurant opening late next year, as well as The Bakehouse, RM Butcher and a florist.
