The city
What to expect from Arrowtown.
Arrowtown is a village of about 2,900 people that began in 1862 when gold was found in the Arrow River, about 20 km from Queenstown. Buckingham Street preserves miners’ cottages from the 1870s, the Lakes District Museum tells the gold‑rush story, and the restored Chinese settlement commemorates Chinese miners. In autumn the village trees turn golden.
