The Icons of South Island, New Zealand

Lake Tekapo- This is probably one of the most visited tourist attraction in New Zealand, and that is because it is really an amazing place to be in. Located at South West of Christchurch in the Mackenzie Basin, Lake Tekapo is a 3 hours scenic drive away from Christchurch. The beauty of Lake Tekapo comes from its crystal blue/turquoise coloured lake, next to the giant mountains in the region. It is no wonder why this place is such a popular place among photographers. A huge highlight would be the Lupins, where the whole Lake Tekapo will be bloomed with it during the Spring to summer season. Next to it, is the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd. Being situated right next to the beautiful Lake Tekapo, it becomes a perfect photo spot due to how everything just looks perfectly fitting to each other. Stay for the night, and you can even take an epic photo of the church together with the Milky Way during a good weather. For those traveling in the South Island of New Zealand, this place is a MUST-VISIT. #momentssg #unforgettableexperiences #hiking #naturalwonders #newzealand

Lake Tekapo is my favorite spot in South New Zealand, it is always surrounded by snowy mountains and it's also part of a UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve.

Situated on the shores of Lake Takapō amongst the natural beauty of the lake and the mountains, the Church of the Good Shepherd was built to the glory of God and as a memorial to the pioneers of the Mackenzie Country. Picturesque by day and dazzling by night, Lake Tekapo is part of a UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve, making it the perfect spot for stargazing. Definitely a must go place when you are travelling to NZ South Island! #tekapo #newzealand #travel #holiday
