Aucklanders seeking lifestyle change buy two donkeys and historic Otago pub
Some Aucklanders visiting the South Island might buy a fridge magnet for a souvenir. Grant and Fiona Sutherland bought two donkeys and a pub.
The couple will become the owners of the 134-year-old Chatto Creek Tavern on the Otago Central Rail Trail from November 3.
The tavern comes with two donkeys, a local population of 15 people, and retiring proprietor Lesley Middlemass.
“We had that many people want to come and buy it, but 99 per cent of them I hated. I wasn’t even that nice to them,” Middlemass said.
