As the name suggests, Central Otago is ‘Central to Everything’.
Non-stop flights arrive into both Queenstown and Dunedin airports daily, from which an easy drive forms part of the journey in getting here. Pick up a rental car to self-drive or sit back and relax as your driver whisks you away from the traffic woes of urban centres into the majestic scenery of Central Otago.
