Arrowtown is an historic, gold mining town on the banks of the River Arrow, that preserves its historic flavour in its old and new buildings.

At its peak, in the height of the mining era, Arrowtown had over 7,000 residents.  It had a population low in the 1960's of less than 200, but the present day figure is around the 2,500 residents.  As residents and New Zealand holidaymakers began moving back to Arrowtown, they started to buy up the old houses and cottages and restoring them, so further preserving the towns history.

Being very close to Queenstown, only 10 miles away, tourists staying in the city, are often visitors to, or pass through Arrowtown.  But the town has a number of attractions to fill your time for a day or two.  There are scenic walks and hikes, skiing in winter, cycling tours, historic tours and gold-panning experiences, some of the region's best wineries, art galleries and museums, as well as lots of shops, cafes and restaurants to try out.

Because Arrowtown is so close to Queenstown, it is an option as your main base to stay if you want to be close to the big town, but not actually in it!  There are a number of hotels, lodges and welcoming bed & breakfast properties to choose from, to suit any preference or budget.
