Welcome to the Pickled Pigeon Cottage built in 1881 and named after the New Zealand Bird of the Year, the Wood Pigeon. The birds are known to eat red berries which intoxicate them and literally gets them pickled! We have two resident Wood Pigeons who visit regularly in the front of the garden. The cottage has 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, lounge room, BBQ area and outdoor decking area to have sundowners and view the beautiful garden and scenery. The cottage is an easy 200 metre walk to cafes, restaurants, supermarket, Museum and other shops of interest.
There are lots of things to do in and around Lawrence. It was the first Gold Rush town in New Zealand and walking around Gabriel's Gully is a great way to get the sense of history here. There is a great golf course and of course fishing, nature walks and biking the Otago Trail is a must. The cottage is ideally located for day trips to Wanaka, Queenstown and the historical township of Clyde.
We are no longer pet friendly.
