We visited on the opening weekend and it was great. Powdery open trails, get trails for all levels too. Not busy by any standard, and the views from the top are breathtaking. Advice: It is in a basin where the sun doesn't get to much so dress warmly! And I would recommend a 4 wheel drive as the road is very steep gravel :) Other than that - just the essentials. Snacks, and a camera! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6196337/14904fed-960e-4662-84f9-03bbdff6c33c.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Porters Ski Area 22 min drive \- 18.1 km - Cave Stream Scenic Reserve 2 min drive \- 2.6 km - Kura Tawhiti Scenic Reserve 13 min drive \- 4.0 km - Mt Cheeseman Ski Area 23 min drive \- 36.4 km - Devils Punchbowl Waterfall 48 min drive \- 62.4 km ### Getting around - Christchurch International Airport (CHC) 71 min drive ### Restaurants - Flock Hill Lodge - Porters Cafe 17 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Cedarwood Retreat - Castle Hill Holiday Home pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Cedarwood Retreat - Castle Hill Holiday Home? ### What time is check-out at Cedarwood Retreat - Castle Hill Holiday Home? ### Where is Cedarwood Retreat - Castle Hill Holiday Home located? ## Have a question?
