Mt.Potts lodge is Southern Alps Heliski and HeliPark base camp. Set in stunning mountain scenery and located a handy 10metres from the helipad, it's a chalet in the Alps with a New Zealand twist.

A delicious three course evening meal is included in the overnight rates, and a fully loaded bar takes care of everything else. Challenge the crew to a game of pool or poker, or just relax by the vintage pot-belly fire with a bottle of NZ wine. Clay bird shooting is available during après-hour, which starts when the helicopter gets back and lasts until dinner.

The restaurant serves a set three-course menu every night, and includes venison with plum and port chutney, chicken and leek hotpot, roast rib-eye beef with red wine gravy or high country salmon with wasabi mayonnaise. Delicious homemade desserts like lemon and lime cream tart, rhubarb crumble or hot chocolate fudge cake complete the meal.

There are three types of accommodation: share and twin rooms, and a self contained cottage. The share rooms are perfect if you’re traveling with your entourage and the twin rooms great for couples or if you're on a solo mission. The cottage sleeps up to four people in a double and twin room with a touch more comfort.

All overnight stays include a three course evening meal, cooked and continental breakfast and overnight accommodation. All linen and towels are supplied. Rates are per person per night.
