Autumn in Arrowtown. (March 1 to May 30, 5-20° C. 40- 68 F)
The brilliant reds and golds of Arrowtown’s autumn are renown, and bring artists and photographers flocking. Autumn is a season of stable weather and deep blue skies.

Winter in Arrowtown. (June 1 to August 31, -0.5-8° C. 30-58 F°)
A magical season with snow-capped mountains and blue skies. The Southern Lakes Ski areas are renowned as the premier winter destination of the Southern Hemisphere. It is a beautiful time of year to visit.
We are a popular base for international ski teams here to train during the Southern winter. Arrowtown is also an ideal ski base for family groups – it’s quieter, but with good accommodation, and a fine range of bars and restaurants.

Spring in Arrowtown. (September 1 to November 30. 8-17 C, 46-62 F)
Golf courses, gardens, tracks & trails thaw and bloom. Fresh & fragrant clean air, warm days, cool evenings and a time when the skiing is often at its best. Restaurant tables venture out to the pavements and the river bank and lakesides re-populate with walkers and watersports enthusiasts enjoying warm late afternoon sunshine.
Central Otago’s hills are mauve with flowering herbs, particularly wild thyme.
