Gilchrist Store
Visit our Oturehuas Gilchist Store. This historic building in the centre of Oturehua town is one of the best known stores in Central Otago. Built in 1899 this store is a rare delight for any nostalgia enthusiast, successfully merging the old and the new.
The shelves boast display memorabilia such as the original telephone exchange, an antique bacon slicer, tinned coffee and food from the late 1800’s.
Present day goods are also sold.
