Danseys Pass Ice Rink
About
Danseys Pass Ice Rink serves South Island from Channel Road in Naseby, a settlement that gives the rink its name and its inland setting. The address places the rink in a small town reached by road from the larger centres.
Thirty-four reviews have produced a 4.6 out of 5 average, a strong record for a small seasonal facility. Reaching Naseby from the main centres means a drive inland from Dunedin or Christchurch, and the rink sits within range of Queenstown, Wanaka, Nelson, Blenheim, Kaikoura and Te Anau for travellers already touring the South Island. The rink operates as an ice rink, with the kind of open-air surface that depends on winter conditions.
Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the skating window falls in the middle of the year. Naseby sits inland, where frosts are sharp and clear winter days are common.
New Zealand sits on the boundary of the Pacific and Australian tectonic plates, so small earthquakes are common, a background fact of travel across the South Island. Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast.
