‘Getting here is easier than you think, and a whole lot of fun!’
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.
If you feel like you're driving through a painting you probably are.
