Hotels near Edoras, Ashburton Lakes

Everything was fantastic. I booked while hiking up on the mountain in the rain and got in soaked, cold, tired and hungry. Since I was staying on a day the restaurant was closed, they kindly suggested I try getting a meal at the Mt Somers tavern and that was a very good alternative. The heat was turned on already for me when I got there so the room was warm. The plush carpet, clean, comfy bed with feather duvet and the giant bath, were all just amazing. There was even a snug covered garage for my car and tūis singing in the pristine garden and sunny, private patio. There are two beautiful dogs to pat wandering round the office as an added bonus. I didn't realize till later, but I think the manager (owner?) even charged me less than I read it would be at first, which was very kind. The whole experience (the stay and the lovely people at the local tavern) made me fall in love with Mt Somers and it's people and I'll be back again for sure!
