Teviot Valley

The Teviot Valley offers a genuine rural New Zealand experience. This area, running from Roxburgh in the north to Raes Junction in the south is a thriving farming and orcharding community, rich in gold mining history and opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Visit the local Bakehouse, heated baths, orchards, honey suppliers, fruit growers -pick your own cherries/apricots in season.
