The drive is quite bumpy and the hike is quite exhaustive so probably not suitable for such a young kid.

Hi, you will need to check with the agency when you do your booking. Usually it’s 2 to go so chances of trip cancelled will be slim as there will be other Travelers who will join you as well. Thanks.

Hello, I was picked up at Rendevous hotel Christchurch. Usually they will pick you up if your hotel is located in the CBD area. You can check with the agency if they can pick you up at your hotel. :)

I’m not sure. Probably not as this is a reasonable distance from Christchurch city. I think they only do pick ups from around Christchurch itself. You are better off contacting the company direct ( maybe you meant to do that?). Cheers

The trip from central Christchurch to Mt Potts Station, where the filming of the Edoras scenes took place is approximately 2.5hours. The majority of the road is bitumen with only the final few kms being gravel and dirt. There is no town as such and no shops so you need to take your lunch with you or plan to head back out to the nearest town. About four kms from Mt Potts station gate and lodge is the parking area for Mt Sunday (the Edoras mount). A two km walk is then required. I can't say if there are fees but it is private land. I would highly recommend the tour. Everything is provided and the insights are great. The drive back to Christchurch can be undertaken by a different route, thus affording you further views of this wonderful country.
