Otago Peninsula, New Zealand Lake Tekapo is located in a hardly populated area, but this is exactly what makes the place so attractive for us, as there is a lot to discover in terms of nature. The Cowans Hill hiking trail leads along the river, then again into a forest and finally up a hill at Lake Tekapo. The trail is relatively easy and gave me the opportunity to get to the very top to enjoy the panoramic view over the lake and the region. Don't forget to stop at the Church of the Good Shepherd, a beautiful sacred building in the vicinity of the lake. Booking a 3-star hotel in Lake Tekapo this evening costs an average of € 216.41 per night. Happy and chilled out we retire to our camper. For another night where it will be only 3°C. In a camper without auxiliary heating the outside temperature soon sets in inside as well and it gets cold around the nose while sleeping. Read more about campervan hire New Zealand here.

The best period for this is between April and May.The world is waiting for you Especially the Dark Sky Project and the Astro Cafe are highly recommended. For a short stay absolutely suitable. Attention - very many Chinese tourists. At the lake and at the main road everything is trimmed for tourism and the shops offer mainly souvenirs. The beautiful Lake Tekapo, not far from Mount Cook, is an indispensable stage on the way to Christchurch. Are you ready to cover a certain distance? Conspicuously many Chinese tourists - also compared to our other New Zealand destinations (we could not find out the reason for their interest). The average price per night in a 3-star hotel in Lake Tekapo this weekend is € 216.41 and in a 4-star hotel € 221.96.
