Nothing beats Central Otago in autumn

On 3 years Ago
Dominus Markham

It’s that time of year again, autumn, my favorite season in New Zealand!

Growing up in the States, I confess it did take me a while to grow accustomed to reversed seasons and fall leaves in April, but now I’m hooked and love it. And there is nowhere I love to experience more than stunning Central Otago. An east coast girl at heart who went to school in New England, autumn is in my blood.

Call be basic, but I love it.

Crunchy leaves. Pumpkins. Frosty mornings. Air that smells like a campfire, does it get any better than that? Don’t think so.

How much do I love autumn in New Zealand?

Central Otago, the region where I live, is one of the only places in New Zealand that experiences a true autumn. So if you’re a fan of colorful leaves like me, be sure to pencil in a trip here in April. While nearby Queenstown and Arrowtown are busier, further afield in rural Central is often full of peace and quiet.

It’s a region marked by vineyards, gentle barren mountains, local fruit farms, stunningly blue rives and lakes and delicious food. It was the epicenter of the Gold Rush over a century ago, and if you love historical places like me, it’s full of them. From historical cottages to cozy pubs, beautiful villages and of course, delicious wine and yummy food, Central is the perfect getaway for people who want to kick back, chill and just relax in a beautiful place.

It’s a place where people wave at strangers and generally say hello. It’s small town life at its finest.

Right now the leaves here on the South Island around Central are almost at their peak which means I’m out almost every day, exploring, walking, and just enjoying the shifting seasons.

I can’t wait to show you what I get up to this year, but in the meantime, I wanted to share some photos from my explorations around Central. If you find yourself nearby, I highly recommend heading over now to take in the delights of the changing season.

Come with me on this visual journey as I try to share in photos what I love the most about this season. Enjoy!
