The cottage originally was situated on Puketoi Station (4 km north) and was used as the station's shearers' quarters. After World War I the station was divided for returned servicemen into many farms of which Clachanburn was one.
In 2003 we began to provide accommodation. We were mindful of enhancing the original features with a new shower, good heating, bedding and linen, while maintaining a warm and inviting ambience.
Following the arrival of part of the original cottage onto its present site, the second bedroom, kitchen, washhouse and bathroom were added.
Activities in the surrounding areas include fishing, curling, mountain biking, walking in iconic Central Otago landscapes. Visit historic St Bathans and Naseb
