The Neighbourhood
Arrowtown is essentially a beautifully preserved gold‑rush village dating back to the mid‑1800s. The heart of town—Buckingham Street—is lined with heritage buildings, old miners’ cottages, and tree‑lined avenues. Many of these buildings are restored and house cafés, galleries, boutique shops, restaurants. The Chinese miners’ settlement by Bush Creek, with its restored huts, is a poignant reminder of Arrowtown’s past.
Set beside the Arrow River, with hills rising around, Arrowtown has a strong sense of nature being very close. There are riverside and hill trails, scenic views, native bush, and deciduous trees. In autumn especially, the foliage turns vivid golds, oranges and reds, giving a magical feel.
