Arrowtown is a quaint town with a rich heritage, attracting many creatively talented people.
Enjoy a stroll through the town’s main street, admire the tastefully preserved local buildings and browse for fine New Zealand products in the eclectic range of workshops, galleries and art outlets.
‘Born of gold’, Arrowtown was discovered to be a gold-rich area in 1862. The museum, situated in the main street, will astonish and enthrall you, as will the restored Chinese mining settlement beside the Arrow River, which is within walking distance from the township.
The tree lined avenue, housing a collection of old miners’ cottages, is a magnet for both photographers and artists, each autumn.
