Very cozy home that’s very close to all the main attractions in the township of Blackball. The house has been completely refurbished and is warm and airy with plenty of space to relax. The central location means it’s a simple 5-minute walk to the local café, shop and over to the Workingman’s Club or to the ‘formally’ Hilton where you can mix and mingle with the locals.
There is a great local museum area next to the Hilton where you can walk through and learn the history of Blackball, from its mining start to the formation of the NZ labour party and the 1908 strike, which come about when the workers asked for more than 15mins for their lunch!
Definitely worth the detour through the Grey Valley to visit such a historic part of New Zealand and if you are make sure you base yourself at Blairs place.
