If you're interested in local churches, the heart of Lake Tekapo is home to Church of the Good Shepherd. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the cathedral in the area.
Find out about the history of Lake Tekapo when you take a trip to Sheepdog Statue. Stroll along the lakeside in this quaint area or visit its top-notch restaurants.
Gaze in awe at the impossibly turquoise waters of this glacial lake, framed by snow-capped mountains. Stargaze at the world-renowned Dark Sky Reserve or soak in hot springs with breathtaking alpine views.
Book the Mount John observatory tour at the Dark Sky centre early to avoid disappointment. I just about managed to do this on the same day I arrived, in a stroke of extreme luck. They do full refunds if the weather prevents it from happening.

Lake Tekapo is bit cheesy town. I'm not sure what the hype is about, but we loved Lake Pukiki and Lake Ohau more as it's less commercial and quiet.

Small town with limited dining options but Greedy Cow was delicious for brunch and Silver Spoon (a Malaysian food truck/trailer) were delicious!

"Clean, tidy unit in a quiet suburb within walking distance of the main town strip. The bed was comfortable, the internet stable, the aircon was quiet and efficient and the tv was huge. There were some nice tea/coffee amenities and they had ecostore brand shampoo and body soap which I appreciated. Easy check-in and check-out process, would stay here again. "
"It was very quiet, great for stargazing, we loved being close to the hot pools and the lake and the town. Our family really likes having the 2 bedrooms. "
