Mount Somers, a town that sounds like it was named after a particularly ambitious mountain goat, offers travelers a serene escape from the chaos of everyday life. Nestled in the heart of New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes, this hidden gem is perfect for those who enjoy nature without the throngs of tourists. With only one hotel available, it’s either a cozy stay or a sleep in the car—your choice!
Why stay here? The town boasts stunning views and a chance to hike through the nearby Mount Somers Track, where the only thing you’ll encounter more than breathtaking scenery is your own wheezing as you climb. If you happen to visit in spring, you'll find the area bursting with wildflowers, making it almost Instagram-worthy—assuming you can find a signal.
From bird watching to mountain biking, the outdoors is your oyster. And if you’re lucky, you might spot a Kiwi—though they tend to be more elusive than your motivation to go to the gym. Don’t forget to compare hotels on FlyDoha for the best rates; after all, even Mount Somers can be a bit pricey when you’re staying in a cozy little hotel with character!
