Great for sunrises or sunsets.

Town of Tekapo Mt John is fantastic viewing platform with a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding mountains, lakes and Mackenzie Basin flats. From town of Tekapo, walk for roughly 3 hours along Mt John Walkway to reach the tip of the summit. Direction - Walk past the Tekapo Springs complex and follow the track on the western side of Lake Tekapo. The track climbs up to Mt John Summit Track. Descend through the exotic forest back to where you started. Once you are there, you will be rewarded with the fantastic view of the whole town of Tekapo, mountains, alps and lake. The whole journey is about 4km from Town Center. The pace is pretty easy to moderate with some slope and steps towards the summit. When you reached the summit, you would reach the Mt John observatory. Great for sunrises or sunsets. Have a cup of coffee and cake at Astro Cafe. Relax and enjoy the tea break indoor or outdoor. Toilet are very clean and fused with automatic air freshener keeping the toilet smell great. For those who does not hiking and walk, you can choose to drive from town centre for a 2 minutes ride and park your car at the carpark. At the base of the start of the walkway, you can bring your kids or your partner to the hub where you can do snow boarding, ice skating or just chill inside the hot large swimming pool. Great for jogger in the evening along the lake to burn some calories while enjoying the lake view. #tekapo星空小鎮
