Welcome to Arrowtown

Arrowtown is a postcard-perfect, historic gold-mining town nestled in Otago’s spectacular mountain landscape. Families here are well-served with Arrowtown School, while high schoolers usually head to nearby Queenstown for Wakatipu High School. The commute to Queenstown is about 20 minutes by car, making it a reasonable journey for work or school. Known for its autumn colours and charming heritage buildings, Arrowtown has lovely cafes, boutique shops, and scenic walking trails, including the Arrow River. It’s a close-knit, friendly community where neighbours know each other and the pace is delightfully relaxed. Living here feels like stepping into a scenic, storybook village.
