Cromwell Ward's Unmissable Highlights

Cromwell Ward encompasses the historic gold-mining landscapes of the Kawarau Gorge and the high-altitude tussock plains of Lindis Pass. This selection features the preserved 1860s architecture of the Cromwell Heritage Precinct, now a hub for contemporary art galleries like Hullabaloo and Octa. Visitors can explore active archaeological sites at the Goldfields Mining Centre, experience the 134-meter Nevis Bungy, or view the confluence of the Roaring Meg and Kawarau River. The region is also defined by its viticulture, notably the Pinot Noir vineyards surrounding Lake Dunstan.
