There's nothing nicer than sitting by a river and watching the water flow downstream. Why not pack a picnic hamper and spend a quiet afternoon at Arrow River?

This flowing body of water in Otago is popular with many travelers, so make a spot for it on your to-do list. Don't stop there, though. There are plenty more options waiting for you to discover after Arrow River. Coronet Peak Ski Area, Millbrook Resort Golf Course, and Amisfield Winery are not far away.

The Carlin is indeed a 5 star property in every way, the staff and accommodation exceeded all our expectations, and we will most definitely return for a longer stay. I would recommend this truly remarkable boutique hotel to anyone traveling to Queenstown NZ.
