Hurunui Hotel, Hurunui, South Island, New Zealand
View of the historic Hurunui Hotel in Hurunui, South Island, New Zealand. The Hurunui Hotel is famous in New Zealand for its liquor licence, which it has held continuously since 1860. The original owner, John Hastie, was granted a conditional licence for the Hurunui Accommodation House. Conditions included " that he keep eight beds in four bedrooms; shelter for six horses; provide stock yards for yoking up cattle; provide horses for travellers to ford the river; and also direct strangers to a safe fording place." In 1982 a small group of local farmers banded together to save the hotel after it had fallen into disrepair. The community rallied and with help from other sources, including The Historic Places Trust, the Hotel was restored. It is now a thriving hotel and a popular stop for tourists. Date: circa 2000

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time at the historic Hurunui Hotel in Hurunui, South Island, New Zealand. Established in 1860, this iconic landmark holds the distinction of having held a liquor licence continuously since then. The original owner, John Hastie, was granted a conditional licence for the Hurunui Accommodation House, which came with conditions such as keeping eight beds in four bedrooms, shelter for six horses, providing stock yards for yoking up cattle, and directing strangers to a safe fording place for the Hurunui River. This charming photograph, taken circa 2000, captures the timeless allure of the Hurunui Hotel. The scene features a quaint table and bench set on a trestle, inviting visitors to take a seat and soak in the nostalgic atmosphere. The table, adorned with a vase of wildflowers, adds a touch of homely charm to the setting. Despite the passage of time, the Hurunui Hotel has remained a thriving establishment and a popular stop for tourists. In 1982, a small group of local farmers rallied together to save the hotel from disrepair. With the help of The Historic Places Trust and the community, the hotel was restored to its former glory. Today, it continues to offer warm hospitality and a glimpse into New Zealand's rich history. Whether you're a history buff, a sightseer, or simply looking for a leisurely break, the Hurunui Hotel is a must-visit destination. Take a moment to imagine the stories that have unfolded here over the past century and a half, as you enjoy a refreshing drink or a hearty meal in this piece of New Zealand's past.
