Once the scene of a mighty gold rush, the dramatic Otago region is now appreciated for its powerful, moody landscape. A popular holiday destination, there are lots of options for accommodation in Central Otago. The towns of Alexandra, Clyde, Cromwell, Roxburgh and Ranfurly are ideal bases for explorations of the surrounding historical countryside. The only mainland breeding colony of the Northern Royal Albatross, large majestic seabirds with a wingspan of three metres, is at the Otago Peninsula.
