Lake Tekapo 

Lake Tekapo is located Mackenzie Basin (aka "Mackenzie Country"). Nestled in the heart of the South Island, this region boasts some of the most breathtaking views on earth.

It is also a nature lover's paradise, with many entertaining activities. Hike, bike, fish, swim, ski, or take a scenic flight.

​You can even soak in some hot pools or go horse trekking. And remember about stargazing - it's some of the best in the world!
​​I can organise and bring your wedding bouquets or buttonholes, wedding cupcakes and grazing platter at extra cost. I can recommend accommodation in the area.

On the edge of the lake sits the Church of the Good Shepherd, a stunner of a church first built in the Mackenzie Basin in 1935. This church is one of the most photographed in the country.
​
Aoraki Mount Cook, New Zealand's tallest peak, is just an hour's drive away and only a 3-hour from Queenstown or Christchurch.
