Food Scene

A visit to the Hole in One Bar at Millbrook is a must. Good coffee, great cakes, and gorgeous place to sit outdoors in the sun, or a cozy place inside near the fire with views over the golf course.

I can recommend a wine tasting - friendly and informative staff. Lovely place to sit in the garden on a warm day but they do have some indoor seating as well.

You absolutely cannot visit Arrowtown without having a venison pie from the Arrowtown Bakery. Sit in the park over the road, or take it home and cook up some nice wholesome vegetables for an all-round good meal.

Drinks & Nightlife

Nice beer garden when it's warm enough, although inside is cozy and quaint with a fabulous atmosphere. Good pizza and a huge selection of craft beer.

I'll just say one thing - QUIRKY! Oh, two things - don't bump your head on the way in, or for that matter on the way out like my son-in-law did a couple of times.

Sightseeing

Take a drive in the summer to Coronet Peak for spectacular views over the Wakatipu Basin. It's about 15 minute's drive to the turn off and then 10 minutes drive up to the ski area.

Parks & Nature

Make sure you visit the Chinese village in Arrowtown. It's just incredible what the hardy Chinese endured to get some precious gold from the Arrow River. While you're there take a stroll, or a jog if you are up to it, around the Anniversary Track which is a circular route down and around the beautiful and peaceful Arrow River.

Grab a pamphlet from The Museum in Arrowtown on the walks around Arrowtown. The walk around Lakes Hayes is gorgeous. Pick a clear sunny day and clear your mind with an envigorating walk.

This is our home club and of course we love it. Like Andrew Daddo said on the Golf Show "it's like playing golf in a painting" - the scenery is to die for and the course is one of a kind. Only bunker is on the practice fairway but be wary, there are plenty of hazards on this course.

Essentials

Remember we try to be plastic free so make sure you take your own bag or ask the shop for one of their 'boomerang' bags. They will lend you a material bag that has been made by a local and your 'boomerang' bring it back to the shop. Secret: the pies they sell are AMAZING!
