Glenorchy

Glenorchy is a remote paradise village at the head of Lake Wakatipu, 45 km from Queenstown through sublime mountain scenery that was used extensively in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy as Isengard and Lothlórien. The sleepy village of 300 people is surrounded by mountains, wetlands, and the braided Dart River, offering kayaking, jet boating, horse trekking, and walking access to the wilderness of Mount Aspiring National Park. The drive from Queenstown along Lake Wakatipu's shore is one of New Zealand's most scenic road trips.
