Guide de voyage: Lacs Ashburton 2026

Lacs Ashburton : idées de séjour, infos pratiques et culturelles

One of the most serene valleys I've ever visited, the Rangitata Valley on the south island of New Zealand. This was a big filming location in The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers film. This was the site for Edoras.
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.

Wonderful place on Earth
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

Cute little cottage. Well appointed, comfortable firm mattresses. Amazing garden. Lots of lovely extra touches ie phone chargers by the bed (universal c), herbs with the salt and pepper, laundry powder in the laundry. My husband adored the marmalade. Thank you for a pleasant weekend break.
