Arrowtown has a good collection of shops in Buckingham Street and many specialty shops catering to the visitor. A good place to browse. Restaurants and cafés are of a high standard and popular with both locals and visitors.
The Lakes District Museum has a good display
of artifacts and historical information. You
can even try your luck panning for gold in the
Arrow River.
Arrowtown is 19km from Queenstown and about
a 20 minute drive. It can be part of a circular
drive via Coronet Peak one way and Lake Hayes
on the return. Arrowtown is also on the way to
the bungy jump on the Kawarau river. |
