Crown Terrace is on high ground a short distance to the south-east of the settlement of Arrowtown; indeed, its highest part is 5,673 feet above the level of the sea. It is in the Arrow riding of Lake county, and in the electorate of Wakatipu. At the census of 1901, Crown Terrace and its neighbourhood had a population of 103. There is a public school with an average attendance of twenty-one. The district is devoted entirely to farming, and is well known for its fertility, and its large crops of wheat, oats and barley. Presbyterian church services are held once a month in the schoolhouse, and a Sunday school is regularly held in the settlement.
