About
Unichem Arrowtown Pharmacy sits on Buckingham Street in the heart of historic Arrowtown, serving both the local community and the steady stream of visitors passing through from Queenstown and the surrounding region. As a Unichem-affiliated pharmacy, it carries a solid range of prescription medications, over-the-counter remedies, health products, and everyday essentials — the kind of reliable, well-stocked stop you want close by when you're a long way from a major city centre. The 4.9-star rating from its reviewers speaks to a level of service that goes well beyond transactional; this is a pharmacy where staff clearly take time with people.
Arrowtown is a 20-minute drive from central Queenstown along the Arrow River corridor, and while it draws visitors for its gold-rush heritage and autumn colour, it functions as a genuine community hub year-round. For travellers heading out toward Glenorchy, Skippers Canyon, or spending extended time in the region, having a trusted pharmacy in Arrowtown means you're not always driving back into Frankton or the CBD for health needs. Whether you've picked up a blister on the trails, need a prescription filled, or simply want sunscreen before a day at Coronet Peak or The Remarkables, this pharmacy handles it without fuss. Check their website for current opening hours before making a special trip.
