Olivers of Clyde was founded as a general store in 1863, supplying essential supplies to the ordes of rip-roaring gold-seeking prospectors. The storefront, barn, stables, smoke house, main house and servants' quarters have been carefully restored, although many still show the scars of those bygone days. Schist rock walls, weather-beaten timbers, giant open fireplaces and a cottage type garden give Olivers its charming ambience. Olivers offers accommodation in ensuite rooms in various historic buildings as well as serving lunch and dinner in the restaurant.
Within easy reach of Olivers is the film location of the village of Rohan of Peter Jackson's movie Lord of the Rings. Click to view a slideshow of "Poolburn, Lord of the Rings Country".
Olivers has been out of operation, as a restaurant and lodge, for more than a year. But in recent months has come under new ownership and will be operating again soon. This page is a current holding page; more information will be posted shortly.
