Otira Stagecoach Hotel


When we first moved to Greymouth we drove out to Otira which is about an hour out of town. Snow on the mountains is the sort of scenery we see at this time of year. So anyway the Otira Stagecoach Hotel is so unique as the owners have placed all sorts of collectables around the property, including a type of "Dobby" from the Harry Potter series. 


Apparently it was built in 1902 to serve the pioneers who first came here who travelled through the Alpine Pass.

Linking up with Skywatch FridayLittle Things Thursday and Tom's Signs.

Lovely place but it really struggles to survive as a business. Having said that this latest iteration seems to have hung on for a few years. We always stop there on our way over the pass to Brunner.
