Arrowtown Information:
Just
19 km from Queenstown it is a very
pleasant drive surrounded by mountain peaks. Arrowtown is a historic
village that was the heart of the 18th century gold rush in the area.
The famous gold mining rivers, such as the Shotover River, are along
this drive.
Really enjoy Arrowtown to visit. Great parking right in town by the
Arrow River. Plenty of room and right next to the historic Chinese
Mining
Village. New Zealand's only living historic gold mining town. A stroll
along Buckingham Street is a step back in time. Great shops, cafes and
restaurants. You have to go up a side street and an unmarked stairs to
the best coffee shop (Joe's Garage). I'll let you hunt for that one! Be
sure to see Dorothy Browns Cinema.
A very good Holiday Park in the town within walking distance
of the
main centre.
I have found, due to the crowded parking conditions in
Queenstown, we
prefer to go to Arrowtown and park and catch the "Arrowtown Bus Tours"
bus to Queenstown ($18 return per). Sure worth it for the hassle. You
walk around Queenstown anyway.

Just outside of Arrowtown is the Gibbston Valley and the Kawerau Gorge.
This is one of the most spectacular drives in New Zealand. At the
Kawerau Bridge is located the original AJ Hackett bungy jump. All
through this immediate vicinity are the major wineries of the region
such as the Gibbston Winery. Award winning wines are being produced
aong this stretch of highway so be sure to give them a try.
