Maniototo
Danseys Pass is 2000ft above sea level and the region boasts the most consistent weather and the second highest sunshine hours in New Zealand. Hot, dry summers are followed by the long dry shadows and subtle tones of autumn with cold, dry winters and snow.
Discovery of gold opened up the Maniototo and throughout this vast landscape and its scarred hillsides you will discover mud brick buildings, stone buildings, fences and cemeteries – all remnants of a once prosperous bygone era…
