Oturehua Hotel Saved by New Owner

The Oturehua Railway Hotel, a 136-year-old Central Otago landmark, is saved from closure thanks to Angela Stockdale’s timely purchase. After three years of failed sales and a looming June deadline, the hotel’s future looked grim—but Stockdale, owner of the Wedderburn Tavern, stepped in to preserve this vital community and tourism hub. Set to reopen in September, she vows to keep it open, welcoming, and buzzing with hospitality, ensuring its legacy—and the local economy—continues unbroken.
