    Arrowtown is a quaint historic gold-mining town situated in the Central Otago region of South Island, New Zealand. It is just 20 minutes away from Queenstown. Arrowtown is a very small quaint town and takes only a few hours for you to walk around. It is worth a day trip and it takes about an hour from the nearby towns.

    About 15-20 minutes drive away is the quaint little town of Arrowtown. This is where you can catch your breathe after all the exhilarating rides and breath-taking views of Queenstown.

    Arrow River, in central Otago, South Island, NEw Zealand once was rich in gold as discovered by William Fox in teh 1860's (source-WIKIPEDIA). Panning for gold is still promoted here by the Arrowtown Council. You can go to the Arrowtown Centre and hire equipment for panning gold. The kids and hubby of course had a blast looking for that elusive shiny stuff! Arrowtown itself is quite enchanting. It is in a tranquil setting very much the opposite of Queenstown proper itself which is always heavily populated and crowded with tourists! We had the river almost to ourselves except for a couple of people going for walks along the riverbank. It was another calming exercise to soothe our nerves after the scary drive near the cliffs on the ascent to Coronet Peak. We were glad to book accommodation away from the hustle and bustle of central Queesntown.
