ARROWTOWN Twenty minutes by car you’ll find a cool and rather quaint little village, which is somewhat not too dissimilar to a village found in the English countryside. A little less punchy that Queenstown, it’s definitely the place for those to ‘clock off’ in some capacity. DAYTIME EATING There is a very strong chance that you will have possibly the most delicious ever breakfast eaten at Chop Shop. This cafe is hidden (all the trendy ones are), but follow the stairs off the main street. Everything is excellent, but the ‘Turkish Eggs’ will not disappoint - flavourful because of the premium ingredients and just a real win. If you’re off on a hike, then the bakery is an excellent option for carb-loading. Bagels with copious fillings abound. Alternatively, Gibbston Valley is one hell of a cheese shop come cafe. NIGHT-TIME DINING There are some real hidden gems in Arrowtown, and just like Queenstown, all answer to different budgets and tastes. Lazy nights are well spent at Fork and Tap Alehouse where gastro pub fare, craft beers and local pinots abound. It’s pretty much the village pub, but one supremely executed. Saffron answers the call for special occasions. Local produce and seasonal fare reign in a creative manner. A little way out of Arrowtown you’ll find Millbrook Resort, which houses many restaurants. The best? Kobe where fresh dishes with epic flavours abound. Sashimi from the finest fish off the coast or Wagyu? All good. DON’T MISS Arrowtown is great for trail walking and hiking. It’s also very close to Gibbston Valley where Central Otago’s best pinot noir and cheese lives. The combination of the two is excellent. Follow the Arrow River, or seek out other trails where you can venture out for the whole day and get the heart racing. pindaramagazine.com.au Pindara Magazine 79
