Welcome to Central Otago - heartland in the south of New Zealand
Get close to nature in
an inspiring and timeless land. First time visitors are
silenced and energised by this tumble of mountain,
river, rock and tussock. See the grandeur of
breathtaking vistas and be moved by their surging
natural power. Central’s clear light brings mountains
within arm’s reach and displays a star-studded
night sky. It is a place of extraordinary contrasts,
our middle earth.
Central Otago, affectionately called 'Central' by
those that know it well, covers an area of 11,000 km2
and has fewer than 16,000 permanent residents. You
will notice a change of pace when you come here.
It is a place where you can leave the stresses of work
behind and just relax, soak in the atmosphere and
let the rejuvenation process begin. Put your feet up
in one of our many accommodation houses, where
you will get to know the locals and be treated like a
long lost friend rather than a visitor. Most never want
to leave, but they take home treasured memories,
and nearly always return.
