Alexandra New Zealand: Your home away from home.
Previously
known for its gold production, Alexandra has developed into one of New
Zealands premiere orchard areas. Visit Alexandra 's local apricot and
cherry orchards, taste local vinyard produced wines, or mountain bike
during the summer. Alexandra 's famous ice skating at Manorburn Dam
as well as other alpine activities abound.
Delve
into Alexandra 's rich mining heritage with a visit to Old Cromwell,
the scene for the gold strike in 1862. Re live gold rush fever through
its reconstructed and preserved buildings and atmosphere of Cromwell
at the height of the gold rush.
There is too much to see and do in one day so plan on staying the night at one of Alexandra 's fine lodging establishments.
