Arrowtown Ward Essentials

Arrowtown Ward preserves the heritage of New Zealand's 1860s gold rush. This selection features the historic Chinese Settlement and the 1876 stone gaol, alongside the Lakes District Museum's extensive pioneer archives. Visitors can pan for gold at Dudley’s Cottage, hike the 8-kilometer Sawpit Gully loop, or explore the town's architectural history through the 1907 Postmaster’s residence.
