Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Lower Shotover?

This period is particularly good for families looking for an active holiday with plenty of sunshine.

For those who prefer slightly cooler temperatures and fewer crowds, the autumn months of March and April are excellent. The weather remains pleasant, typically around 15-20°C, and the region's deciduous trees transform into a spectacular display of reds, oranges, and golds, especially noticeable along the Shotover River.
