You may have heard on the media about cases of cryptosporidium that is now restricted to the Queenstown CBD, Fernhill and Sunshine Bay areas only.
We are fortunate that Arrowtown and the surrounding area's water supply is unaffected and is safe to drink.
If you wish to know more about cryptosporidium then you can follow the latest information here or feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.
Thank you and we look forward to welcoming you to our most beautiful town.
Arrowtown had four churches representing the early immigrant populations. Catholic, Presbyterian, Anglican and Methodist. All still operate today except for the Methodist Church.
They used to sell Morphine in the local drug store. That was back in the goldmining days of course!
The first jail in Arrowtown was simply a log. You were chained up to it. The later stone jail still exists and is in Cardigan Street. It is New Zealand’s 4th oldest jail.
Arrowtown has one of the best preserved collection of goldfields heritage buildings in New Zealand.
The trees in Arrowtown’s beautiful avenues are Sycamore, Ash, Oak, Elm, and Rowan. The first avenue was planted in 1867.
In the 1950’s many New Zealander’s built cribs ( holiday houses) in Arrowtown and came here for their summer holidays.
