Welcome to Stanley’s Hotel
Stay somewhere with a story.
Built from local schist in 1882, Stanley’s Hotel has been welcoming travellers to Macraes for more than 140 years. Historically renowned for the quality of its food and hospitality, that tradition of genuine country hospitality continues today.
Stay in one of Otago’s historic country hotels and discover the people, characters and stories that have shaped Stanley’s since 1882.
Gold has shaped Macraes for generations, and today Macraes is home to New Zealand’s largest active gold mine.
Stanley’s is the closest hotel accommodation to Macraes Mine and just 15 km from Hyde and the Otago Central Rail Trail.
