Sit in the garden or cosy up in a homely room at this charming cafe, set inside an 1870s cottage. It’s beloved by both visitors and Arrowtown’s tight local community – and the signature sticky buns are non-negotiable.

Stop in at this locals’ favourite for breakfast and lunch with a pan-Asian twist. There’s Coffee Supreme, cocktails and Central Otago wines – plus an outdoor balcony to take in the picturesque Arrowtown hills.

A dimly lit den of a bar in a historical Arrowtown building, this is one of the area’s cosiest spots for a cocktail – best sipped while snuggled up by the open fire on one of the regular live music nights.

Family-oriented Little Aosta is the cosy sister restaurant to Ben Bayly's acclaimed Aosta, with woodfired pizzas and quaffable wine by the carafe.

Nothern Italian cuisine with premium southern New Zealand ingredients makes for a phenomenal combination at Ben Bayly’s renowned Arrowtown restaurant.
