📍 好牧羊人教堂 The Church of the Good Shepherd
This is a must-visit spot in Tekapo! Whether you come during the day or at night, you'll have different experiences. During the day, the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo complement the Church of the Good Shepherd, creating a truly beautiful sight.
At night, you'll witness the Milky Way, and for this kind of view, you really need to visit in person!
📍 Astro Cafe and University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory
It's arguably the café with the best scenery in all of New Zealand. There's a fee to drive up the mountain, which is 8 New Zealand dollars per car.
We went up on Saturday around 2:30 PM, and the staff told us that the café's last order time had passed, so we couldn't enjoy a cup of coffee with the stunning view. Nonetheless, simply admiring the scenery is also wonderful!
Apart from driving up, you can also hike up to get there!
