A former mining town, Omakau is a quaint little settlement in Central Otago that's held onto its charm.
Importantly, Omakau is positioned metres away from the famous Otago Central Rail Trail. Located between Alexandra and Ranfurly, it's a great place to stop by, stroll past historic buildings and learn a few things about the old gold mining days. You're sure to have an interesting yarn or two with friendly locals too.
