Take a leisurely stroll along the lakefront in the early morning or late afternoon, when the water reflects the changing colors of the sky in a truly magical display.

When you're in need of a little pampering, Tekapo Springs offers natural hot pools to soak in while enjoying mountain vistas. Foodies will find a handful of cozy cafés and eateries around the village, serving fresh coffee and hearty meals that showcase local flavors. Of course, no visit is complete without a stop at the famous Church of the Good Shepherd, which offers a glimpse into our community’s heritage while perfectly capturing the serene essence of Lake Tekapo.

Getting around the Lake Tekapo area can be as relaxed or adventurous as you’d like. Many of the main attractions, such as the lakefront and popular eateries, are comfortably within walking distance. If you’re looking to explore further, renting a bicycle is a popular option, and there are well-marked pathways that provide spectacular views along the way.
