Saint Bathans
St Bathans, formerly named Dunstan Creek, is a former gold and coal mining town in Central Otago, New Zealand. The settlement was a centre of the Otago gold rush, but mining has since long ceased. It is now largely a holiday retreat due to the preservation of many of its historic buildings
Waipiata Cemetry (Hamiltons)
Drive past the religious retreat, En Hakkore, to find Hamilton’s diggings. Carry on driving and you will find the restored Hamilton’s Cemetery with its spectacular views. This road carries on to Patearoa where you can drive in a loop back on the bottom road to Waipiata.
The Waipiata Sanatorium
The Waipiata Sanatorium looks down on the huge expanse that is the Maniototo Basin, Central Otago. It is a place where the air is such that it compels you to take deep breaths, to inhale the pureness. It was in these surroundings that the Waipiata Sanatorium site was chosen by a Dr Byers for the treatment of tuberculosis patients. Miners in the goldfields who had respiratory conditions thrived in the environs, notwithstanding the harshness of the winter and the heat of the summer.
