Arrowtown Shuttle

The Arrowtown Shuttle service provided to bring locals in to town for the cost of donation ran for 6 weeks and has now finished.

We wish to thank all patrons for supporting the service during our first after-COVID period. It made an easy option for popping over to Arrowtown but we still have free parking and the very affordable ORbus option from Queenstown and Frankton. 

Please keep coming and enjoying the exciting dining and bar options or visit Dorothy Browns Cinema. Come shopping and enjoy the warm hospitality. Everyone loves Arrowtown and it's perfect for Après Ski! It’s friendly, picturesque and just pretty darn special!

Please support our local businesses and help our local community.
