Arrowtown

Overview

A former gold mining town, Arrowtown’s stunning scenery and tranquil atmosphere attract visitors from New Zealand and around the world. Nestled beside the Arrow River amongst the hills, Arrowtown is 10 minutes from Frankton and 20 minutes from Queenstown. Home to a boutique cinema, multi-award-winning cafés and restaurants, shops, pubs, and retail stores, and a stone’s throw to the region’s best wineries, artist galleries, golf courses, fishing and ski areas, it has fantastic community appeal.

Arrowtown has always been a popular holiday destination reflected in its many holiday homes but resident numbers have increased significantly over the last 10 years and new houses and subdivisions have emerged as a result. Visitors and locals can take advantage of The Connectabus making round trips to Queenstown every 20 minutes.
