Asking us to pick our favourite season in Central Otago is like asking us to name our favourite child. We love them all equally, but autumn is wonderful.

The weather tends to be more settled with crisp mornings, pleasant days and wonderful light. The nets are on the vines waiting for harvest and there is a subtle change in the air.

For stargazers, the Milky Way makes a reappearance and we have more clear nights.

For active visitors, walking the Bendigo trails is pleasant and not too hot.

For us, our proteas are setting flower buds with some early flowering varieties starting to show off.

Please book your accommodation and stay at Bendigo Ridge. Come for not just one night, come for a few and enjoy our unique hospitality and terrain.
