About this property

Historic stone cottage

The Tinker’s Cottage, Clyde, is situated in the heart of the Historic Precinct and in close proximity to the cafes, hotel and shops. The Central Otago Rail Trail, Wineries and Lake Dunstan are nearby.

This little schist cottage, one of the very early cottages of Clyde, was the home of Tinker Rae who mended pots and pans for the early settlers. Later it served as the Maternity Home for Clyde with a resident midwife.

After 150 years it can now claim another first - running water on tap, with the addition in late 2011 of an new ensuite bathroom. It is sited in a private garden setting between the old Dunstan Times Building and Morice Cottage the former home of the first Doctor in Clyde and his Tent Hospital Complex.

The history, ambience, charm and tranquillity, make this little Central Otago town very special.

Loved this historic house and town
This was just so handy to everything in town. We talked with a young lady at the local restaurant who enquired where we were staying, only to find out it was her grandmother's! We had a lovely stay and will definitely return.

A great step back in time
We really enjoyed our stay here. The peace and quiet was great. The climate was so pleasant. The cottage had all that we needed and had a pretty patio garden where we could sit outside. Very close to some nice shops and eating places. Some very nice walks for the keen and not so keen. Highly recommend.
