Central Otago is steeped in gold mining history and Roxburgh is no exception. Our early pioneers used materials that were easily available to build their homes, and Roxburgh Cottages are privileged to have two of these early examples. One of our cottages is built from schist rock and the other is a sod cottage. Two unique historic holiday cottages providing accommodation Central Otago.
Interestingly, both our cottages have a connection with one family. Mary Stringer (or Granny Stringer as she is known) had the sod cottage built for her son Robert, and for a time, she resided in our schist cottage located in Roxburgh.
