Guide to Ranfurly
Ranfurly, located 68 miles north of Dunedin, is one of the largest settlements of Otago. Formerly known as Eweburn, the city got its present day name from the 5th Earl of Ranfurly, who held the position of the Governor-General of New Zealand. Ranfurly’s vast deposits of precious metals catapulted it among leading cities during the era of Central Otago Goldrush. Although the gold rush gradually lost its shine, the city continued to grow due to Naseby’s new railway line that significantly strengthened Ranfurly’s economic backbone.
As the railroad, along with the railway station, are no more operational, the heritage is well preserved. While the railroad track, ‘Otago Central Rail Trail’, has been converted to a cycling and walking route, the railway station is now a famous museum. Other notable tourist attractions of Ranfurly are its massive Art Deco buildings. You can even plan to attend the annual Art Deco heritage festival that is held in the month of February. The city is well connected to Dunedin International Airport, located at a distance of around 55 miles.
