As the name suggests, Central Otago is ‘Central to Everything’
Flying into Central Otago
Non-stop flights arrive into both Queenstown and Dunedin airports daily.
From there, 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.
