    John and Lynda were excellent hosts, very knowledgeable about the history of the property. The breakfast and other 'treats' that were provided exceeded our expectations and I strongly recommend the evening meal. This is an excellent place to stay...

    Super cute and homely. Great welcome with chicks, ducks and dogs. Lovely owners. Just how we needed to relax after a busy day biking from Omarama. Loved the fire and cheese rolls when we were too lazy to bike back into town for dinner.

Lynda and John
Western House is a historic building situated on the old gold field supply route and now on the Alps to Ocean cycle-way. We provide comfortable surroundings, amazing scenery and great food. Please note that do not provide a kitchen for guests to use but can provide dinner and packed lunches for an additional charge if booked 1 day in advance. Breakfast is served no later than 8.30 after which the kitchen is closed.
We are on the cycle-way just out of Kurow. There is salmon and trout fishing in the river across the road from us and great trips out into the surrounding mountain scenery. We are a good stopping off place for a trip further into Central Otago, Tekapo, Mount Cook, Queenstown or on to Christchurch. The Kurow Museum is really worth a visit as are the local cafes and pubs in Kurow. Make sure you pop into Duntroon to see the Vanished World fossil center and have a look at the Maori rock art sites. A drive or cycle ride around the hydro lakes is a very pleasant way to spend the day.
