Otematata: A Study of a Rural Hydro/Holiday Home Village

Acknowledgements We would like to thank the permanent residents of Otematata who agreed to be interviewed and surveyed. We are also very grateful to the Otematata holiday home owners who so willingly gave-up their holiday time to complete the survey. The research project was funded by Lincoln University, Faculty of Environment Society and Design ‘Seed Fund ’ and we are also very thankful for that support. We greatly appreciate the assistance provided to us by staff at the Waitaki District Archive who generously helped us in our historical work and granted permission to use a number of Otematata photographs from their collection. Finally, we wish to thank Dr Joanna Fountain for critically reviewing the report and providing many helpful comments
