Hiking and Local Activities:

Hike, Walk or Tramp:

In addition to our Lodge we also offer information on day hikes in the Southern Lakes Region. At our backdoor are some wonderful wilderness panorama ! We offer over 15 different routes which explore some of the best scenery in the Southern Lakes District. The walks can be divided into three different categories ...

Historic Hikes:

These explore the historic gold mining sites of the 1860's when the area around Arrowtown became the site of one of the most frenzied gold rushes of the 19th century. Two of these hikes start at Skippers School House after a spectacular drive through the Skippers Canyon.

Bush and Forest Walks:

These walks are on Department of Conservation trails and provide access into the World Heritage National Parks as well as some very pleasant rambles alongside Lake Wakatipu.

Alpine Tramps ( Hikes):

These are available in the summer and autumn only, and take you above the snow line where the views are fabulous and you can inspect some of the unique alpine vegetation.

Golfing:

The friendly Arrowtown Golf Course is located on the eastern boundary of Arrowtown, and the Millbrook Resort is just to the west. In addition there are another two courses near Queenstown, Frankton and Kelvin Heights.

Snow Skiing:

Arrowtown Ski Lodge is well located to the four Southern lakes Ski fields and snow skiing infrastructure. Now that the Crown Range road has been upgraded it will be much quicker to drive over to Cardrona or Treble Cone.

Our Lodge is centrally heated and we have good storage facilities for ski gear. Ski Coronet Peak, the Remarkables, Cardrona Ski Area or Treble Cone and base yourselves at the Arrowtown Lodge. Experience snow skiing at its best. Enjoy the restaurants, bars and unique theatre.
