  A unique place with rock formations that cannot be found anywhere else.
  
  A sight that is a must see.

  Unbelievable Rock formations.. From a distance it almost looked like Easter island statues. These limestone rocks are huge, and the their shapes are amazing. Well worth the walk.

  Pretty scenic but can be slippery due to rain and very windy at times.

  Jawdropping scene with great small-walks. You can wonder around whichever rock you want to get on top. Of course if you are into climbing you can try few walls with various difficulties. Toilets are nearby the parking area and also next to the rocks

  This place is amazing and worth a drive up. If you are a rock climber it is Paradise. Nice short walks between the "city" of rocks and plenty of photo ops and it's fun to scramble around on the huge boulders.

  Beautiful place! I love it here. There are pit toilets in the parking area and out on the path. The view is spectacular and it wasn't too busy when we were visiting. Hope to go again someday.

  Really cool unusual rock formations that you dont see every day. I didnt circumnavigate the entire rock formation but spent maybe 30mins checking out the odd rocks, definately worth a stop for a look. 2 long drop toilets in parking lot.

  Beautiful, a great chance to take a break on the Arthur's Pass road. The steep snow capped mountains surrounding, dramatically contrasted against the rounded nubs of Castle Hill. You can boulder off some of the rocks if that floats your boat, or just wander around and appreciate their wacky shapes
