What people say

Manidu Abeygunawardena
"The sensation of stepping into this natural wonderland is nothing short of awe-inspiring. As you explore, you'll discover countless nooks and crannies among these massive, ancient rocks, and it's as if they're whispering stories of centuries gone by. It's a hiker's paradise, and climbing among these giants feels like a journey into another world. But it's not just about the rocks. The views from Castle Hill are absolutely spectacular. The surrounding Canterbury Plains and snow-capped mountains create a backdrop that will leave you speechless. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a photographer, or simply a seeker of beauty, Castle Hill is an experience that will linger in your memory long after you've left. Price: Free"

"Super cool spot, just know on the weekends it is insanely crowded, especially because tour busses stop there. There's also a ton of bumble bees in the area, so just be careful!"
