Plan a day out with the whole family by exploring the Arrowtown countryside on bike. The Arrowtown to Old Shotover Bridge trail is part of the Queenstown Trail 'Great Ride' network and allows you to enjoy the quiet countryside as you pass breathtaking stunning alpine vistas. Starting from Arrowtown, the trail takes you past the historic Chinese Village, through to Millbrook Resort, leading right down the iconic tree-lined avenue. This gives you the chance to take in the gorgeous architecture and landscaping that Millbrook has to offer. This is the perfect time to stop for a break and enjoy a coffee at the Millbrook's Hole In One Café. From Millbrook, follow the trail to the top of Christine's Hill in which you will enjoy panoramic views of Lake Hayes and the Remarkables mountain range in the distance. The trail leads onto Rutherford Road which gives you the option to ride a short 700m section of quiet road to connect you to the Lake Hayes Trails and enjoy 8km of scenic riding around the beautiful lake. Ride back along Rutherford Road to rejoin the countryside trail which eventually leads to the Old Lower Shotover bridge. Here you will experience amazing 360 degree views providing endless photo opportunities. For more information and to hire a bike click here.
What once use to be the original smokehouse and blacksmith's shop in the 1800's in now a relaxed outdoor venue called Smithy's Smokehouse. During the warmer months, Smithy's showcases a variety of musicians on the greens. Pair this with a refreshing cocktail or whiskey from the alfresco bar, and this is the perfect setting to unwind and relax with friends. Situated right next to the tranquil pond, the ambience is second to none. This is a free event so bring your family and friends! View our 2023 live music dates here.
