2025 Tekapo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Lake Tekapo is really well-deserved. When I saw it on a sunny day, I couldn't believe my eyes. It was so blue that I doubted my life! 💙 Many people think the lake is not blue just because the weather is not right! A sunny day will definitely shock you! No need to edit! Here are a few places I recommend, you can follow my route, I strongly recommend you to go, you can take 800 photos!!! 1️⃣ Go to "Astro Cafe" in the morning. This coffee is amazing! I would call it "the most beautiful cafe on earth" ☕ The most worthwhile place in Tekapo! No objection! The cafe is located at the "University of Canterbury Observatory", you must go here first, because it is only open until 2 pm, and vehicles entering the observatory need to queue, but we only waited for 20 mins, not too long... You can order some food and drinks to take pictures on the table, just learn from me how to take pictures hahaha 📸 (It is said to be open only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so we went on Friday to be safe) 2️⃣ There is a ⛰ big rock a few steps down from the cafe!!! You must go! A great place to take photos! I am tired of saying it, you will regret it if you don't go... 3️⃣ Then go to "Lake McGregor Campervan Site", a treasure place discovered by our group. The trees 🌲 by the lake are very beautiful. Sisters with good balance can sit on the trees to take pictures, like the movie poster of "Flipped"! 4️⃣ After going down the mountain, go to "Church of the Good Shepherd ⛪️", which is also a must-see church in Tekapo! You can walk to the lake from the church, and there are many lupines 🌸 this season, which are super beautiful~ 5️⃣ If you want to have fine dining for dinner, you can go to "Dark Sky Diner" 🍽 with a good view. If you don't care about the environment, you can go to "Ramen Tekapo" 🍜. Asian food is not bad, which comforted my Chinese stomach!

#Naturalscapes #100 Ways to Travel A must-visit attraction on New Zealand's South Road, from Christchurch all the way south to Queenstown, usually the first stop will be #Lake Tekapo, a clear blue milk lake and a world-famous stargazing town. The town of Tekapo is not big, but there are several well-known attractions, the first to recommend: #Church of the Good Shepherd, a cute church made of stones, is the place of faith for the residents of the town, and there is a statue of a shepherd dog next to it. In addition to shops, restaurants and hotels, Lake Tekapo also has a spa and spa, Tekapo Springs, a water park facility that offers hot and cold pools for visitors to relax. The so-called hot springs in the South Island of New Zealand are actually mostly hot baths. #John Hill University Observatory is also a must-visit place, the towering observatory is not only the excellent place for night stargazing, but also the most beautiful view of Lake Tekapo and snow-capped mountains. Finally, to introduce, 40 minutes south of the highland rural salmon farm in the town of Twizel, it is hard to imagine that on the roadside of a wilderness stream in New Zealand, you can actually eat delicious salmon Sashimi, and once thought to come to Japan! #New ZealandDrivingTour #New ZealandSouthIsland #LakeTekapo #laketekapo #twizel #tekapo

#Natural Landscape #100 Ways to Travel #University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory, a must-see attraction for self-driving in New Zealand's South Island, is located on the highest point of Mt John next to Lake Tekapo. It overlooks the vast and unparalleled view. The lake is as blue as a gem and the opposite mountain is covered with snow, which is as beautiful as a painting. We visited in early spring, and the snow on the mountaintops had not yet melted, providing a perfect background for beautiful photos. There are several huge rocks on the grass behind the observatory. The angle for taking photos when sitting on them is really good. It looks like you are climbing on a huge rock several meters high! In fact, it is very low. You can just stride up there. You can take deceptive photos, but the photos you take will turn out to be incredibly beautiful. If you live near Lake Tekapo, you can consider joining a night stargazing tour and use a professional telescope to see the Milky Way in the southern hemisphere in an environment without any light pollution. However, it is windy and cold here at the observatory, so you have to wear warm clothes, otherwise you will freeze to death. Also, stargazing is very dependent on the weather, and the full moon is the biggest light pollution! There is also a view cafe Astro Cafe next to the observatory. In the glass house made of light steel frame, you can order a cup of hot American coffee. This is the most unforgettable cafe recommended by Lonely Planet! #NewZealandFreeTravel #MountJohnObservatory #LakeTekapo #newzealand #mtjohnobservatory #laketekapo #astrocafe

If someone asked me where is beautiful in New Zealand, Lake Pukaki is definitely going to be one of my answer! What makes the lake so beautiful is the bright turquoise water color, which under the correct lighting condition, will turn into a brilliant blue color. Combining the lake with the surround mountains, It is an absolute dream for landscape photographers like myself! If you are lucky, on a day of a good weather, you can even see New Zealand’s iconic mountain, Mount Cook from here! Getting here is a scenic drive 10 mins away from the town of Twizel. Carpark is also a stone throw away from the lake so it is really accessible for everyone! #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences #hiking #travelinspiration #naturalwonders

You can’t go wrong with this combination of mountain views and blue water. In the summer, Lake Pukaki is surrounded by fields of purple Lupines and is one of the most beautiful places on earth. #newzealandtravel #lakeview #unforgettableexperiences

This was such a fun hike! Luckily we had enough warm clothes with us because we definitely underestimated the cold weather! Also, if you want to go there don‘t forget to bring snacks.

We stumbled upon this lake by accident but it was really beautifull! The water was aqua blue and really clear - soo inviting to jump into it! When putting a finger in I noticed it was waaaay to cold 🥶

This time, we explored the South Island of New Zealand, immersed ourselves in nature, broadened our horizons, and gained a lot. Seriously, this trip was super worth it! 🤗 ✈️ Transportation The Air New Zealand experience is fantastic! Whether it's the in-flight Wi-Fi, entertainment facilities, or the food and wine, it's all great. The Skycouch in economy class is worth experiencing, making it easy to lie down and fly to New Zealand. 🌼 Itinerary Day 1: Arrive in Queenstown, adjust to the time difference, and prepare for the trip. Day 2-3: Explore Queenstown at your own pace, experience the steamship and Skyline Gondola, try the famous Fergburger, soak in the Onsen Hot Pools, and slowly enjoy the rhythm of the trip. Day 4: Queenstown → Wanaka, experience flying a plane, super exciting! We also made a special trip to see the Lonely Tree, which was unreal. Day 5: Wanaka → Lake Tekapo, take the kids to a stargazing tour at night, it was really eye-opening! Day 6: Lake Tekapo → Mount Cook, helicopter snow landing experience, feel the magnificent scenery of the snow-capped mountains. 📌 Travel Tips 1️⃣ Apply for a visa to New Zealand one month in advance. 2️⃣ New Zealand is 4 hours ahead of China in winter and 5 hours ahead in summer. 3️⃣ New Zealand uses New Zealand dollars, so exchange enough cash before you leave. 4️⃣ Personal items to bring: water cup, umbrella, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreen. In addition, the food in Queenstown is not to be missed! I highly recommend sitting in a lakeside cafe, drinking coffee, and watching the lake view. It's really super cozy ☕
