From wine tasting and curling, to goldpanning and mountainbiking, the picturesque goldmining region of Central Otago has it all. The historic towns of
Alexandra,
Clyde,
Cromwell,
Roxburgh,
Middlemarch,
Naseby and
St Bathans give Central Otago its charming goldmining character, and the towering mountain peaks, tussock-clad plains, mighty rivers and thriving wineries offer a host of exciting adventures to enjoy.
Central Otago is New Zealand's most inland region. A peaceful place of extraordinary contrasts, it's affectionately called 'Central' by those that know it well. Stretching from Lindis Pass to the north-east of
Ranfurly, Central Otago has long been famous for its scenic beauty. Towering mountain peaks, tussock-clad plains, mighty rivers and thriving wineries offer a host of exciting adventures to enjoy.
Tackle the
Central Otago Rail Trail, a scenic cycling track linking Clyde with Middlemarch, sample the region’s award-winning pinot noir or pan for gold at Cromwell. Try your hand at the ancient Scottish sport of curling in Naseby, explore the deco architecture at Ranfurly, or experience one of Central Otago’s many outdoor activities. You can fish for salmon in the Clutha River, visit a gallery or garden, practise your swing over a round of golf, or explore some of the world-class mountainbike trails around Alexandra and
Omakau.
