Minaret Station Experience

Minaret Station Experience

Departing from Dudley’s Cottage, Arrowtown, on a self-guided biking excursion, proceed towards the lovely willow-lined Arrow River (home of the goldrush in the 1800s). Crossing five bridges, you will zig-zag the chortling Arrow River. There is no shortage of photo opportunities, swimming holes and picnic spots along the river’s edge, so take your time and enjoy the journey. One of the most popular photo stops is midway across the awe inspiring Southern Discoveries suspension bridge. Getting across busy State Highway 6 is a piece of cake via the Barfoot Tunnel – and onto a part of the trail which follows the original goldminers’ road. Breathe in the thyme-scented mountain air as you make your way over the historic Kawarau Bridge, home of A J Hackett’s Bungy site, and onto the Gibbston Valley of the Vines trail, making your way to the boutique Mt Rosa Winery where you can enjoy a wine tasting experience.
