South Island ▷ Central Otago ▷
Naseby is the kind of place you stumble into and end up staying longer than planned. It's a sweet little town made for a campervan visit - have some lunch, have a stroll, maybe find yourself at yet another epic country pub. It's not trying to be anything it's not, which is exactly why it works.
The thing that sets Naseby apart is curling. Have you tried it? This is the spot. Low key good times for all ages, and genuinely one of those random memories you can't plan for. If you're rolling through on SH85, it's worth stopping for this alone. The Danseys Pass Holiday Park is a solid base if you want to overnight it here rather than rush through.
