Central Otago

Central Otago is a land of riches; towns built on the prosperity of yesterday are building futures based on the extraordinary resources surrounding them, without forgetting the precious heritage of their past. There are many reasons to come to ‘Central’. Today Central Otago is a holiday destination for people who want to be active. It boasts some of the country's best fishing spots and great vineyards. It is justifiably famous for its Central Otago Rail Trail, a stretch of a disused railway line where the tracks have gone and they have been replaced by a popular, 150 km long, bicycle and hiking track. Arts, crafts, and fine regional food complement activities such as jet boating, gold panning, ice skating or other outdoor activities.
