Worth a look we went in our 40 series never used 4wd but always peace of mind as a bit of rain could bugger you up in a car.

Ashburton lakes isn't a route, it's an in & out but there's about 80km of fun gravel if head up to Erewhon & to Heron. I do it most weekends in an Subaru Outback & good at 80-100kph. Funny seeing tourists driving at 15kph maximum heading up the the Lord of Rings site at Mt Sunday

True Ashburton Lakes are an in out.
A lot are like Skippers ,Mavora into Walter Peak.
We went up to Ashburton Lakes with a gale weather forecast.
Needless to same we didn't put up the tent.
