Here are five things an important visitor to Arrowtown can do to fill in time during their exclusive stay:
- Museum: The little old museum on the main "street" in Arrowtown is rich with history where you can even dress up as 1900s folk. It costs $10 for an adult - but surely they'd let a VVIP sneak in for free?
- Gold mining: For $3 you can grab a pan and have a crack at digging up some gold from the nearby Arrow River like the early settlers used to back in the day.
- Chinese settlement: You can take a walk back in time and visit the historic Arrowtown Chinese settlement, which is a partially restored 1800s village of Chinese gold miners' huts, much different to the swanky rooms at the White House.
- Make a racquet: Although golf is a popular VVIP sport, one could grab a racquet and take on some locals at the campground tennis court.
- The Kiwi pie: The Arrowtown bakery boasts a "world famous" venison gourmet pie.
