Rural Art Deco Ranfurly

Ranfurly in Maniototo, Central Otago is a rural art deco oasis. Treat yourself to a slice of nostalgia in our stylish town full of buildings, which date from the streamlined Jazz Age. Rural art deco weekend is held in February. Visit the best gallery of Art Deco memorabilia in New Zealand.

Take pleasure in the exhibits that have been sourced from within the Maniototo community. Take a meal in the art deco dining room or enjoy a coffee in the rustic Wine Bar/Cafe. Appreciate buildings designed by the architect H. McDowell Smith in the style of the English art deco, and the Church of the Sacred Heart by the Italian influenced Mandeno and Fraser.

You'll find something for everyone in the delightful downtown shops.
