Central otago - a whole new light


Explore the stunning region of Central Otago New Zealand. From the deep blues of the winter sky to the rich reds of autumn leaves, the Central Otago landscape is stunning at any time of year.

Witness a magical dance between air and light on a canvas so expansive your soul will be revived. This place of pure blue skies, rich reds of sunrise and sunset, the stirring blue-black of a brewing storm, hues of yellow and brown rising from hot tussock laden hillsides.

Seasonal sequences of dawn and dusk provide some truly inspiring moments in the cycle of light and life in Central Otago. Whether by chance or plan these moments of dramatic interplay of light, sky and land are fleeting but are indelibly imprinted on one’s memory.

Allow the clouds to inspire the imaginative mind - an artist’s brushstrokes, the Karearea soaring through the air or the clouds blanketing the hills. Every sky vista has its own story to tell here in Central Otago New Zealand.

A solitary white cloud whisked upward against the deep blue sky of a Central Otago landscape has inspired our World of Difference brand logo. The sky is so much part of who we are. It not only creates colours of inspiration, moments of pure reflection and a humbling sense of man’s place in nature, but it is also the key to many a daily decision.

The huge expanse allows those living off the land a few clues that only Central Otago New Zealand locals could pass on. The smell of pending rain, the sense that a Northwesterly is brewing - all assist in Central Otago's vast agricultural portfolio.

Then - the gentle quiet of night and its monochromatic lighting interspersed with the phased sequence of the Moon is an ethereal display of a starlit cosmos. This is a stargazer’s delight, a scientist’s workroom – with low humidity and exceptionally clear uncontaminated skies, never has a starry sky been seen more clearly. Still and silent, a shooting star in Central Otago takes a longer journey than any you've seen.

The artist’s canvas, the photographer’s lens - open to a quality of light and secret silhouettes created only by this unique Central Otago NZ skyscape. Discover NZ and explore the vast landscape of the Central Otago region.
