Owners Gerald and Rose Cayford welcomed customers back yesterday following the shift to Level 2.
Mrs Cayford spent the morning getting the pub ready, which involved a fair amount of cleaning, before it opened in the late afternoon.
The couple took over the premise in February last year.
The Golden Fleece operates both as a pub and an accommodation service in the main street of Waikouaiti and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2016.
Mrs Cayford said they were ‘‘very pleased’’ to be opening their doors after weeks of no customers.
• In an article published in yesterday’s Otago Daily Times it was incorrectly reported that the Inland Revenue Department had filed an application to place the pub into liquidation.
The IRD instead filed an application to place the previous owners of the pub, Golden Fleece 2018 Ltd, into liquidation.
The former owners no longer have any association with the Waikouaiti pub.
