Accommodation in Lawrence - Central Otago

Welcome to Jafa's Motels, Lawrence - at the Gateway to Central Otago

Jafa's Motels offers superb recently built accommodation, which was designed to blend in with the heritage of the town. The modern, spacious units are well-appointed and tastefully decorated.

Situated on SH 8 it borders South and Central Otago, and is just over an hour's drive from both Dunedin and Alexandra (96kms) and 2.15 hours drive from Queenstown and other Central Otago ski fields (190 kms). The Dunedin International Airport is only a 45-min drive from Jafa's Motels.

Lawrence is the town built around the first gold strike when Gabriel Read discovered Gold in May 1861 - in an area now known as 'Gabriels Gully'. However, this is not the town's only claim to fame - it is where the first bicycle in NZ was built and the music for the New Zealand National Anthem was written.

We look forward to your visit and will do all we can to ensure your stay with us is an enjoyable one.
