Land Owner
Part of the Queenstown Trail Great Ride - leaves the Old Lower Shotover Bridge and continues upstream before a short steep climb to Domain Road. Trail then follows through rolling countryside and quiet country lanes past Lake Hayes (Take junction at Rutherford Road). Another steep climb up Sharp Rise (Christine's Hill) leads into Millbrook Resort, a great place for coffee at the Hole-in-One café. Continue to Arrowtown past the restored Chinese Village from the Goldrush era to meet the Arrow River Bridges Trail at Butlers Green.
