Luxury Accommodation New Zealand

... Otago

Luxury in Otago is gold. Often called the golden country due to its goldmining associations, vivid autumn colours and apricot orchards, the Central Otago region (opens the Otago region's tourism site in a new window) is the only of New Zealand's regions to experience a continental climate, having the hottest summers and coldest winters in New Zealand.

Old trails that provided access for thousands of miners in the gold rush of the 1860s can still be seen winding over the hills, along with stone cottages, cleverly-engineered water channels, mines and machinery associated with the rush.

Alexandra, the main town on the Clutha River is the centre for stone fruit, particularly golden apricots. The towns of Alexandra, Clyde and Cromwell are ideal bases from which to explore the surrounding historic countryside.
