Top Hostels in Ashburton District in 2026

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.

"Everything good."

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely big room in a motel recently built. While I had to myself, it would have been lots of space for two people without falling over one another. Kitchen had everything I needed including a dedicated freezer. Just saying if you are on the upper floor, you have to climb a staircase that is semi-covered. Also many heavy goods vehicles going past on the SH2. Just keep your windows shut and curtains closed. "
