What's new in Central Otago, New Zealand
You can even cycle around the track before the park opens with the Power Hour by Trail Journeys. At the end of last year, the team added to the fun with a new 18-hole mini-golf course. It's a fabulously eclectic mix of famous pop culture cars – think Herbie and Lightning McQueen – and more local icons like the famous giant Cromwell fruit, a tractor, and even an overgrown Sanga's pie (if you haven't tried these local delicacies, please rectify this as soon as possible) Can you get a hole-in-one at the Sanga's pie course? Penny Black Right on the shores of Lake Dunstan, Penny Black has been a local favourite for some time now. But last year, the owners decided to hand over management and take it from a local pub with great bar bites to a very different food experience. Chef Steven Sepsey has an impressive culinary CV, including time on the pans at highly awarded Aosta in Arrowtown. He is bringing big-city fare to Cromwell, and the locals are loving it. The menu is all about twists on Kiwi classics, and even though it's the kind of creative kai that wouldn't be out of place in Auckland, Sydney, or Melbourne, the vibe remains eternally approachable. All the best bits about fine dining, minus any pretensions. Penny Black offers Kiwi classic dishes, and creative dishes that show the city's best offerings. Penny Black visitors are in for a unique time. For example, this extraordinary shellfish dish as a starter. Cottages at Monte Christo If you're looking for somewhere amazing to stay, the new accommodation at Monte Christo Vineyard is where it's at. The country chic vibe of the cottages makes them the perfect place to hole up after a long day enjoying Central Otago, all earthy tones, natural textures, warm lighting, woolly throws, oversized cushions and luxurious bathrooms, which feel a bit like a spa. Monte Christo is one of Central Otago's newest vineyards and weirdly also its oldest. In 1863, French prospector Jean Désiré Féraud became one of the first people to produce wine in Aotearoa, but by the late 1800s had shut down operations and torn out the vines. The Paris family recently revived it, incorporating the original stone building and even replanting a direct descendant of the original vine clone. They have a stunning underground tasting room and winery tours on offer. Hold your intimate gatherings at the new cottage accommodations at Monte Christo Vineyard. Station Brewing Yes, Central Otago is wine country, but they do brew a cracking beer too. In October 2023, Station Brewing rolled into Alexandra, much to the delight of locals. It's a laid-back, no-fuss, bring-the-kids kind of spot that churns out great ales, hazys and pilsners. The founder has spent a decade honing his craft across Samoa, Germany and New Zealand and it shows in the drinking. Food-wise, they're not mucking around either – think brisket-loaded fries, juicy smash burgers, sticky wings and other soul-hugging dishes you want with a beer in hand. Skip the usual glass of Central Otago wine and grab a beer at Station Brewing. Orchard Garden Opened late last year by ex-Dunedin dwellers Bryan and Frances Raymond, Orchard Garden is the kind of place where you can let the kids loose and reclaim a bit of sanity. With a meticulously-pruned macrocarpa maze, vast rambling gardens and giant lawn games like cornhole, Jenga and Connect Four, it's easy to see why this place has so quickly become such a hit. Once everyone is sufficiently tired, grab a platter, some cabinet food or something off the menu and kick back. Lake Dunstan Explorer Whether you're cycling the Lake Dunstan Trail or just keen to soak up the scenery, the Lake Dunstan Explorer is a great, and relatively new, way to experience this part of Central Otago's stunning landscape. Hop on the Lake Dunstan Explorer to enjoy Central Otago's stunning landscape. Founded by the chatty and informative Andrew Dalton a couple of years ago, the boat trip takes you across the lake with plenty of photo stops and interesting commentary. You'll get up-close views of trail highlights like the Hugo Swing Bridge and those famous, often-photographed cantilevered boardwalks that cling to the cliffs. Most people use the service as a scenic and very pleasant way to transport themselves and their bikes, pre- or post-ride, but you can also book it as a standalone trip – either directly or through Obelisk Tours. If conditions allow, there may even be a diversion to the lone Miner's Cottage, a fab photo stop with tales to tell. Whether you're on two wheels or not, this is a spectacular way to view the lake, the landscape and the trail from a totally different angle. Have a photo stop at the lone Miner's Cottage. Wooing Tree Cellar Door Wooing Tree Wines have always had a presence in Cromwell but as of last year they are right in the heart of it with a beautiful new cellar door experience. (Fun fact, the vineyard is named after an infamous radiata pine that was known as a wooing spot – the site of many blossoming romances, the odd teenage tipple and whatever else may have come after that). It's a great place, especially if you don't have time to go further afield to more remote wineries but still want great Central Otago pinot – their Blondie bubbles and Rosé are particularly popular too. Grab a bottle to take back to your accommodation, do a tasting at the counter or settle in at an indoor or outdoor table for wine with lunch, dinner or a platter. Wooing Tree Cellar Door offers a new wine tasting and buying experience. Jackson Orchards Most people make a stop at a fruit stall when in Central Otago – and honestly, you'd be mad not to. This is the beating heart of some of the best produce in the country (especially during stone fruit season – all those juicy cherries, peaches and plums). As of last year, you can also stock up on artisan products such as dried fruit, sweets, spreads, jerky, pasta, olives, gourmet salts, and snacks when you stop at Jackson Orchards – or even grab lunch or a sweet treat. Take a quick tour around Jackson Orchards and get to know how your food is made. The She Bakes Caravan sells bangin' cakes, scones and slices, Kitchen Window turns out salad bowls, soups and toasties from the same kitchen where it produces its wildly popular condiments; there's coffee, warmed cookies – it's a whole thing. If you're there in summer, don't miss Jackson Orchards tours – a wonderful way to connect with where your food comes from. Get your favorite snacks and souvenirs to take along the road, from dried fruit to gourmet snacks. Coming Soon The fun doesn't stop here. Watch out for the completion of the 32km Kawarau Gorge Trail, which will link Gibbston Valley to Bannockburn, and a new Cooking School due to open later this spring at The Packing Shed in Alexandra.

A source told The Sun: 'It's been a difficult few months and people were really looking forward to the party, but it puts a bit of a dampener on things that they have to pay. 'It might not be a lot to some of the bigger known stars but for some staff it is. The fact that drinks aren't included is a real blow too.

Coronation Street and Emmerdale stars fear soaps ‘could be MERGED forever' to save cash amid ITV cuts
Earlier this year both soaps were reduced to five 30-minute episodes per week, rather than six ITV staffers are still reeling from Tuesday's dramatic culling of Daytime, which left many big names fearing for their jobs. And according to insiders, the bloodbath at the station is set to continue - and next up on the chopping block is likely to be soaps. Advertisement 5 Soap stars are said to be bracing themselves for Corrie and Emmerdale to merge amid the ITV cuts Credit: ITV 5 It's been announced Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year Credit: Shutterstock 5 And Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year Credit: Shutterstock That's the big concern from cast and crew working on ITV juggernauts Coronation Street and Emmerdale, who are anticipating major changes in the coming months, most of which are filling them with dread. A TV insider told The Sun: 'After the Daytime announcement, the big feeling within the soap departments at ITV is the cost-cutting focus will shift to them. 'There's been some seismic changes already over the past year in regards to penny pinching and many believe that's just the start. 'Given the big audience figures and institutional history within ITV, soaps used to have an untouchable feel about them. Advertisement 'But that's changed significantly and they now feel more vulnerable than ever.' Earlier this year, ITV announced from January 2026, both soaps will be reduced to five 30-minute episodes per week, rather than six, resulting in a one-hour reduction in soap content on the channel. Bosses attempted to spin the new streamlined output by branding the new soap schedule as ITV's new 'Power Hour', with Emmerdale airing at 8pm followed by Coronation Street at 8:30pm, Monday to Friday. However, the move is expected to cut up to 75 jobs, with many crewmembers already drafted into redundancy meetings. Advertisement And with former Managing Director of Continuing Drama and Head of ITV in the North John Whiston retiring this month, Iain MacLeod - who has helmed both Emmerdale and Corrie before - has been promoted. The Executive Producer for Continuing Drama is now Creative Director and takes on all editorial responsibility for leading the creative teams who produce both Emmerdale and Coronation Street. Reporting directly to the managing director of ITV, Iain will be the last word on both shows, adding to a feeling that a merge, at least backstage, is coming. But another great concern is also looming surrounding the highly publicised Coronation Street and Emmerdale crossover episode, created to launch the aforementioned new soap 'Power Hour' next year. Advertisement ITV chiefs have gone on record to confirm the special episode, which will see the many of the characters from both soaps cross paths, as a 'one night only' experience. ITV Daytime Shake-Up: Major Changes to Lorraine and Loose Women Revealed However, insiders claim the move is not just a gimmick to publicise the new schedule, it's also a mini experiment to see if crew can work across both soaps in another cost-cutting exercise. The TV insider added: 'The crossover episode has provided much fanfare but there is a deeper reason behind it. 'Viewers may think it's just Ken Barlow turning up in the Woolpack or Mandy Dingle popping into Roy's Rolls, but behind the wacky plotlines is a genuine glimpse into the future of how crewmembers will be expected to work, being across both soaps. Advertisement 'It's a galling prospect for many but could end up being a reality and there's a feeling significant savings could be made on production costs - even if the quality of the output will be seriously affected.' And another big worry coming from the talent-side is yet more episode cuts. The move to reduce episodes from six to five came as a shock to cast and there's an expectancy the only way is down from here. Another source said: 'Castmembers on both soaps are fuming and also concerned by the cuts. Advertisement 'Their livelihoods are at stake and they feel it puts incredible pressure on the downsized teams to produce the same quality output with over 200 jobs cut. 'It feels like a kick in the teeth,' added the source. The Sun revealed earlier this year cost-cutting on Corrie even saw bosses cut back using multiple characters on each episode to keep appearance fees down. ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. Historically, cast would get a standard fee for appearing in an episode - even if it was for just one scene - but that's now been scaled back. And the older stars, many of whom are on big contracts, have been overlooked in favour of using cheaper newcomers. Advertisement ITV showed their ruthless streak this week but culling award-winning shows including Loose Women and Lorraine, sparking anger behind the scenes. Long-running panel show Loose Women will now only be shown in term time and Lorraine has been cut down from one hour episodes to 30-minutes - also airing 30 weeks of the year. The move comes despite Lorraine Kelly's show seeing a ratings spike and Loose Women winning awards. Bosses want both shows, as well as This Morning, to be directed and produced by one team sharing resources and operations. Advertisement The culling of Daytime, and the feared butchering of Coronation Street and Emmerdale, will free up more cash for ITV to make blockbuster dramas, such as Mr Bates vs The Post Office, and improve coverage of big sporting tournaments including the World Cup, which they see as big revenue drivers. Just like soaps used to be… An ITV spokeswoman said: "These claims aren't true. ITV has been clear that the crossover episode is a one-off occasion to launch the new scheduling pattern for Coronation Street and Emmerdale in January 2026. "Both programmes will then continue to broadcast separate, individual episodes. Advertisement "The crossover episode will be purely story driven and is a first for British Soap. "The idea certainly hasn't been conceived for financial reasons. In fact the spectacular combined launch episode will cost a great deal more than regular episodes. "We are proud to have the opportunity to be able to deliver this special moment for fans of both programmes." 5 Corrie legend Ken Barlow, played by Bill Roache Credit: ITV Advertisement
