Arrowtown is located in a magnificent natural landscape of South Island’s Otago Region. Dwarfed by the towering peaks surrounding the peaceful Arrow River, this enchanting gold-rush village is a treasure trove of historical sights, with over seventy original gold-rush buildings and a fascinating partially restored Chinese settlement. The tree-lined avenues running through this lively little town are strewn with quaint miners’ cottages, funky cafes, fashionable boutiques, trendy galleries, and tempting restaurants and bars. Visit the Jade and Opal Factory shop to see hand carving done on-site, check out Patagonia Chocolates to watch it being made, or play a few rounds on the town’s three immaculate golf courses. More adventurous travellers can revel in the network of famed summer trails and winter ski fields. Arrowtown is an ideal destination for nature lovers, thrill-seekers and culture enthusiasts alike.
