Central Otago, incorporating Alexandra and Clyde, Cromwell, Ranfurly and Roxburgh, is New Zealand’s most inland region. It is also the hottest, coldest and driest. A fragmented schist plateau in a semi-desert environment, Central Otago is a living museum, scattered with historic features preserved by a dry climate. This rugged and peaceful place has barely changed over centuries. First-time visitors are silenced and energised by the tumble of mountain, river, rock and tussock assembled in a breathtaking vista. Central Otago’s clear light seems to bring mountains within arm’s reach and produces a star-studded night sky.
