Arrowtown New Zealand: A trip back in time.

Arrowtown is located twenty-one kilometres from Queenstown. Home to the superb Lakes District Museum, Arrowton is often described as one of the best "small" museums in New Zealand. Arrowtown ’s history is very much alive and in daily use with its lovingly preserved structures and studiously documented history.

A walk along the Arrow river will take you back to the 1860's and show you how life was for the thousands of Chinese miners with the riverbank providing the location for their village.

Tour Buckingham street and take a step back in time to when gold fever was in the air. Arrowtown 's rustic buildings give it the look and feel of a city where time stands still admiring its glorious heyday.

Lined with historical buildings the streets of Arrowtown also provide a stylish shopping experience for those with a taste of the finer things. Pick up a directory of historical buildings from the museum and spend an afternoon soaking up Arrowtown’s unique history.

There is too much to see and do in 1 day so plan on staying the night at one of Arrowtown 's fine lodging establishments.
