Welcome to Mountainland Rovers

When the first Europeans, William Gilbert Rees and his partners, started to explore the Wakatipu District in the early 1860's, they never imagined that they would discover a land as amazing as the Head of the Lake.

The small settlement of Glenorchy sits on the far Northern shore of Lake Wakatipu and holds a passage into Mt Aspiring National Park, as well as a way into the magical land of "Middle Earth" featured in the epic movie "The Lord of the Rings".

Mountainland Rovers will take you from the township into the beautiful Rees Valley.
