Ranfurly Must Do's
Centennial Milk Bar
The striking retro facade screams of yesteryear and attracts most of the attention, but step inside and you’ll find an attractive art gallery.

Meet ‘n’ Greet a Husky
Visit the kennels and workshop where harnesses and sleds are built at the Real Dog Company. The team (especially the furry members) are always gagging to meet new visitors. Sled rides do run but not all of the time – check in advance.
Off the Rails Cycle Tours
From day tripper to a 5-day tour, these biking adventures are fully customisable to make them achievable and fun!
Wedderburn Shed
In Wedderburn, 20km west of Ranfurly, visit the shed that inspired Grahame Sydney to paint ‘July on the Māniototo’.
Art Deco Walk
Following a series of 1930s fires, Ranfurly was rebuilt with all the art deco flare of the era. The town’s art deco walk absorbs much of this grand aesthetic.
Waipīata
Also near Ranfurly and on the Otago Central Rail Trail, this photogenic dot of a town is drenched in history. It’s particularly beautiful in autumn but visit any time of year to wander the streets and check out the fascinating cemetery.
The Curiosity Shoppe
An aptly named store, this fascinating emporium is jostling with antiques, collectables, giftware – and much more besides.
