Pastor's Cottage | Clyde Heritage Precinct

Hi, we’re Pete and Anna! We live in Lake Ōkareka, Rotorua, alongside our rascal of a Jack Russell, Cohen. We are passionate travelers—a trait we clearly passed down to our two adult children, who are both currently living overseas! Our absolute "home away from home" is Clyde, Central Otago, which happens to be Pete’s hometown. We especially love exploring Europe, and to us, Clyde feels like our very own slice of Europe right here in New Zealand. We are always on the move, so when we're in the area, you'll usually find us out gardening, walking, biking or hiking. We absolutely love our place in Clyde, and we hope it serves as the perfect base for your own adventures!

Clyde is a deeply authentic, living-and-working town where many local families trace their roots back generations. Situated near the heart of Central Otago, it serves as a perfectly accessible base for exploring the wider region. Beyond its rich heritage, Clyde boasts an outstanding food, wine, and craft beer scene, alongside world-class cycling trails right on its doorstep. What truly sets it apart, though, is the warmth of its exceptionally friendly people.

Our property stands out for its rare combination of space, views, and an unbeatable location. It features a flat, half-acre section bathed in a sunny northwesterly aspect, complete with a beautiful, historic church on-site. Positioned just a stone’s throw from the historic town centre, the section boasts gorgeous views across the Clutha River, offering the perfect scenic backdrop and an ideal spot to cool down during hot Central Otago summers.
