The Church of the Good Shepherd

Lake Tekapo is calling! Here’s why this slice of New Zealand’s South Island should be on your bucket list: jaw-dropping turquoise waters, epic mountain backdrops, and the totally iconic Church of the Good Shepherd right on the lakeside 😍⛰️ Must-See Places: 1. Lake Tekapo – Kick back by the crystal-clear lake and soak in those serene vibes. The turquoise color is unreal, especially on sunny days. Got time? Wait till nightfall for world-class stargazing under super clear skies. It’s even better if you bring a blanket, a thermos, and just relax! 2. The Church of the Good Shepherd – Find it at Pioneer Drive, Lake Tekapo 7999 (open 9am-8pm, Oct 25–Dec 31). This picturesque stone chapel frames the mountain views perfectly and makes for amazing photos. Pro Tips: - Don’t rush—Tekapo’s peace is best enjoyed slow. Bring snacks or plan a picnic by the water for a local experience. - If you love outdoor dining, grab fresh salmon from a nearby shop (or local market at Lake Pukaki) and set up your own lakeside feast with condiments. It’s the ideal ‘with-a-view’ meal! - The weather can be changeable, so layer up and always have sunblock on hand. Getting Around: Lake Tekapo is tiny—walking or biking is perfect for exploring. If you’ve got a car, short drives nearby reveal incredible scenery and photo ops. Food Recommendations: Try local salmon from the region, best enjoyed outdoors with the lake or mountains as your backdrop. Also check out Tekapo’s village cafes for classic Kiwi eats! Don’t forget your camera—Tekapo is pure postcard magic. #LakeTekapo #NewZealandNature #StargazingNZ #TravelWithTrip #GoodShepherdChurch
