Lord of the Rings country! From the rocky outcrop of Mount Sunday (used as the location of Edoras - home of the Rohan) there's a 360-degree view of the Southern Alps.
This was a highlight of our trip to New Zealand and is an easy walk from the Mount Sunday car park. The "Mount" itself is more of a hill really so don't be put off! Access is via a long, gravel track off State Highway 72 at Mount Somers (signposted Mt Potts).
Whether you're a LOTR fan or not, if you enjoy raw, spectacular scenery you shouldn't miss it.

Ski Time Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Despite a late notice WOTIF booking for New Years Eve staff were pleasant, helpful and accommodating with great recommendations for the area. Value was excellent with a great room and food, but the absolute standout was the hard working helpful staff."
