Mt. Sunday which you might recognize as Edoras in the Lord of the Rings - took them 11 months to build the set here, absolutely epic place! It's a 2.5 hr drive from Christchurch down gravel roads, usually ok in a regular 2WD car with an 1.5 hour return hike to the summit. Absolutely stunning, best visited in winter when there's snow on the mountains. It's a couple minutes past Mt. Potts Station where you can dine or sleep, no phone service anywhere near here

10/10 Excellent

"The villa was wonderful—gorgeous views, a nice living area with a good kitchen. There were good coffee options in the kitchen and necessary utensils. The spa/jacuzzi was quite nice after a long day, and you could also enjoy a view from the tub. The in unit washer and dryer was nice to have. "
