Uncover Otago heritage & Lake Cruise
Overview
Step into Central Otago’s living history on this unforgettable day: Wander the golden streets of charming Arrowtown, a perfectly preserved 1862 gold-rush town. Then savor a relaxed long lunch alfresco at historic Bakehouse on Ayrburn – the 1860s pioneer farm founded by Scottish settler William Paterson, one of the area’s first and most successful post-gold rush estates, now beautifully restored with heritage buildings and gardens.
Cap the day with a scenic cruise on majestic Lake Wakatipu, gliding past the dramatic Remarkables aboard a modern vessel, soaking in alpine panoramas and stories of the lake.
