Rich in history, Teschemakers Resort is set on 70 acres in beautiful North Otago.

Originally purchased in 1860 by William Teschemaker (Dutch for table-maker), an English gentleman of Dutch descent.

In 1862 the homestead was built of Ōamaru stone with expansive lawns and lush plantations of English trees.

Since then, Teschemakers has served as a Catholic boarding school for girls and a conference and retreat centre for healing, prayer, contemplation, study and reflection.

Free daily tours from: 11am-12pm, 1pm-2pm, and 3pm-4pm.
