South Island Itinerary: Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo is a gorgeous, glacier-fed lake on the drive to Queenstown. It's right off the highway so easy to stop at and take photos of the beautiful mountains and water. There's a small row of shops and a public toilet, so we usually stop off here on the way down and up for a quick break. The famous Church of the Good Shepherd is right on the waterfront - what a view!
