Aucklanders seeking lifestyle change buy two donkeys and historic Otago pub
Some Aucklanders visiting the South Island might buy a fridge magnet for a souvenir. Grant and Fiona Sutherland bought two donkeys and a pub.
The couple will become the owners of the 134-year-old Chatto Creek Tavern on the Otago Central Rail Trail from November 3.
The tavern comes with two donkeys, a local population of 15 people, and retiring proprietor Lesley Middlemass.
“We had that many people want to come and buy it, but 99 per cent of them I hated. I wasn’t even that nice to them,” Middlemass said.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
