Arrowtown

Arrowtown lies along the Arrow River, in a mountain valley of Central Otago beneath the Southern Alps. Founded during the Otago gold rush of the 1860s, it retains a compact historic centre where former miners’ cottages, shops and public buildings give Buckingham Street a distinctly nineteenth-century character. The restored Arrowtown Chinese Settlement beside Bush Creek recalls the Chinese miners who worked the local diggings after the first rush. Walking tracks follow the river and lead into the old goldfields, while vineyards and alpine-resort towns define the wider Queenstown Lakes area.
