Arrowtown Post Office

Step back in time at Arrowtown’s beloved Post Office, the second oldest operating Post Office in New Zealand. This historic gem has been the heart of communication in Arrowtown since the gold rush days. When postal services were at risk in 1991, the Lakes District Museum stepped in to keep this essential service alive. With overwhelming community support, the Museum proudly purchased the building in 1995, preserving a vital piece of Arrowtown’s heritage.Today, the Post Office continues to thrive, thanks to the support of our fantastic local businesses and dedicated community members. Come visit us and be part of Arrowtown’s living history!
