In the 1860’s gold was discovered hidden beneath the stark beauty of New Zealand’s Central Otago landscape.
The next great rush was to capture Central Otago’s sunshine in the juice of apples, apricots, cherries and other stone fruits.
Then, towards the end of last century the secret was out. The stony soils, distinct seasons and low rainfall of Central Otago were ideal for producing gold of different kind. World renowned Wine !
Now, more and more New Zealand and overseas visitors are discovering the golden opportunities of Central Otago as guests of Cromwell, the heart of Central; - the place to stay in all seasons, for all reasons.
