Olivers Collection Heritage Influence

Clyde has a dynamic vibe that successfully combines the old and the new with its many restored heritage buildings that coexist alongside  modern retail stores and galleries. The town attracts a mix of domestic and overseas visitors with Europeans, Australians and Americans  visiting in spring, summer and early autumn, along with Kiwis who love to visit Clyde all year round.

Olivers opened a new chapter in its fascinating history when its buildings underwent an authentic restoration, reflecting their significant  place in the chronicles of the Central Otago region. The original stone complex, located in Clyde’s historic precinct, was built by Benjamin  Naylor in 1869 as a general store, servicing the prospectors who sought their fortunes during the Otago gold rush.

This iconic landmark has become award-winning Olivers Restaurant and Bar, the Victoria Store Brewery and the Merchant of Clyde Cafe – a  café-bakery-delicatessen. Olivers Lodge and Stables boutique accommodation is located alongside these buildings and is complemented by  The Lord Clyde accommodation just across the road. Both of these listed heritage buildings combine original and contemporary features that  create a warm and welcoming experience.

A stay at these distinctively Central Otago properties is a very special accommodation and culinary experience and a must for those cycling  the spectacular local trails, sampling award-winning wines in picturesque vineyards or just kicking back and enjoying fine food, wine and  craft beer in Olivers sun-drenched courtyard.
