Ithilien Lookout
About
Ithilien Lookout serves South Island from Mount Creighton 9371, New Zealand, a spot inland from the Queenstown area. A 4.6/5 score from 77 reviews reflects how visitors judge what they find here. The website at http://pureglenorchy.com/3-most-photographed-lord-of-the-rings-locations/ is its online reference.
Reaching the lookout from the main resorts and towns means travelling through the Queenstown district, with Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura further afield across the island. Mount Creighton sits within the wider Queenstown landscape, placing the attraction inland from the lakeside settlements.
English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August.
Tūī, kererū and other native birds are common, and dolphins, fur seals and seabirds are seen around the coast. Fish and chips, meat pies and flat whites are everyday takeaway staples across New Zealand.
