Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Duntroon?
The best area to stay in Duntroon itself is right in the village centre, as this is where you'll find the limited but welcoming accommodation options.

Duntroon is a very small, quiet village, and its main appeal is its close proximity to the Vanished World Centre and the Elephant Rocks. The village centre is essentially the area around the main road, State Highway 83, where you'll find the Duntroon Hotel and a few local shops. It's a convenient base for exploring the surrounding geological wonders and fossil sites.

For those keen on exploring the unique geological formations and ancient history of the Waitaki Valley, staying directly in Duntroon is ideal. The Elephant Rocks, a collection of large, weathered limestone formations, are just a short drive away, offering fantastic photo opportunities and a glimpse into the region's past.
When is the best time to go to Duntroon?
The best time to visit Duntroon is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for exploring the Waitaki Valley.

During this period, the days are long, making it ideal for outdoor activities like cycling the Alps 2 Ocean Cycle Trail, exploring the Vanished World Centre, or visiting the Duntroon Wetlands. The pleasant weather ensures a comfortable experience for those looking to enjoy the region's natural beauty and geological wonders. Families will find this time particularly suitable for outdoor adventures, with plenty of daylight hours for children to enjoy.

For travellers interested in a quieter experience and cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) also offer good conditions. Spring brings blooming flora, while autumn showcases beautiful changing colours, making them excellent times for photography and more relaxed exploration.
