Mount Hutt Lodge is only an hour from the city of Christchurch. The lodge looks out across the glistening waters of the Rakaia River and the spectacular snow-capped Mount Hutt Mountain Range. Surrounded by tranquillity and natural beauty, this comfortable and modern resort takes full advantage of its hilltop position, and guests will enjoy views that are both stunning and tantalising, in equal measure. Mt Hutt Lodge units are fully self-contained and sleep four. All have spectacular river and mountain views. There is a children's playground, a pool, and beautiful vistas wherever you turn. Waking up to the majestic Southern Alps, Rakaia Gorge and the Pacific Ocean make this an awe-inspiring place to stay. Start the day with a dip in the outdoor pool before heading off to explore. Whether you saddle a horse or take to the skies in a hot air balloon, you'll discover a new appreciation for Mother Nature's craftsmanship. It's something you can reflect on later as you enjoy a delicious meal in the restaurant. Mount Hutt not only has the longest ski season in the Southern Hemisphere, it is also blessed with most reliable snowfall. It's excellent for skiers, snowboarders and apré skiers of all levels. But there's more to the area than fun in the powder. There are hikes through breathtaking scenery, first-class golf courses and, of course, salmon fishing. You're also convenient to Springfield Station, where you can board the Transalpine Express, one of the world's great railway journeys. It's a must do! Combine a breathtaking location with warm hospitality and you have the Mt. Hutt Lodge - vacation perfection!
