I stayed at the lodge through helpx and had do much fun spending time in the lodge and helping out. Very fun staff and welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely recommend visiting if you are looking for a beautiful view and a Lord of the Rings experience. Highly recomended location to visit!
If you are looking for an absolutely incredible experience in the heart of the Southern Alps of New Zealand, you have to consider Mt. Potts Lodge! My wife & I, along with my oldest son & his fiancee, stayed in a charming 2-bedroom cabin with an amazing view of the soaring mountains & valley floor. Just a short drive away is the trail head to Mt. Sunday, know to LOTR fans as Edoras/Rohan. The setting is spectacular. From the top of the rise, you can almost see Gandalf streaking across the plain below on Shadofax! A VERY special thanks to Matt for helping make this one of the most memorable stops on a memorable trip to Australia & New Zealand!!!
Mt Potts Lodge is situated in one of the most beautiful spots on earth. No joke. Scenes from the Lord of the Rings were filmed here but this place is great for both LOTR and those people who just want to feel closer to the beauty of nature. We stayed in the cabin and it was nice and warm on a very cold July day. Easily accessible roads to get here, yet it is totally isolated. Just a great experience overall.
Mt Potts Lodge is in by far one of the most beautiful locations I've ever been. The mountains surrounding it are stunning. We had a wonderful stay, and as my boyfriend proposed while we were there, the ranch manager, Matt, brought us champagne to help us celebrate. The cabin we stayed in was clean and had the cutest pot-belly stove that was perfect for the cold weather. We can't wait to go back next time we're in New Zealand!
