Discover Fruitlands’ Finest – The Speargrass Inn

Take a step into Central Otago history and discover the timeless charm of the iconic Speargrass Inn, a treasured landmark nestled in the heart of Fruitlands. Originally built as a hotel in 1870, this stunning schist and plaster building was meticulously restored in 1986 and later transformed into the award-winning Fruitlands Café and Gallery.

In 1999, a seamless extension introduced three ensuite bedrooms and a kitchenette, perfectly blending historic character with modern comfort — The home is currently run as a private residence but is ideal for accommodating extra guests or generating income through Airbnb.

The main homestead exudes country sophistication, featuring two bedrooms, a commercial-grade kitchen, and open-plan living highlighted by polished concrete floors and striking T&G cathedral ceilings. Gather around the open fire for marshmallows on winter nights, or enjoy the warmth and efficiency of the diesel fire. Every detail speaks to thoughtful design and careful restoration.

Outside, the property opens to beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with a spa pool and a distinctive schist clad outbuilding the "Whiskey Room" where you can cosy up with the finest Malt and stay warm with the old coal range — a perfect setting for relaxed evenings or intimate gatherings. With ample parking and a backdrop of rugged schist and rolling hills, the Speargrass Inn offers an idyllic venue for weddings, retreats, or private events.

An exceptional property steeped in history, rich in character, and ready for its next chapter — this is your opportunity to own a truly special piece of Central Otago heritage.
