Message from Ashley Elliott

Arrowtown is an attractive historic gold mining town located on the Arrow River near Queenstown, New Zealand. The town’s quaint streets are lined with well-preserved old miners' cottages that were settled during the 1860s Otago gold rush. There is a lot to explore in Arrowtown including biking, hiking and walking trails, golf courses, ski areas and a range of high quality restaurants, bars, shops and local galleries. During autumn, the town's oaks, sycamores, rowans and cork elms turn red and gold, making the surrounding hills and the town come alive with colour. An annual Autumn Festival celebrates this beauty and features music, feasting and merriment.

Lupins bloom along the Arrowtown river in late spring (End Nov/Start of Dec)
