Nevis Valley - Central Otago, South Islandin New Zealand

Nevis Valley - Original Goldfield

History & Culture in the Central Otago Region
Nevis Valley; a former bustling gold mining site, now remains largely untouched.

A Glimpse of an Original Goldfield in the Nevis Valley
The first use of the Nevis Valley was as a trail route for the Maori. When the gold rush arrived in the 1860s, two small settlements appeared in the lower Nevis. Now only the family at Ben Nevis Station occupies the valley. Due to the remoteness of the valley, miners’ workings have been left largely untouched and now provide an excellent representation of an original goldfield. These remains include everything from the cemetery and settlement buildings through to a woolshed and the first ski hut.
