Lake Tekapo


From Akaroa we travelled up to Lake Tekapo which was on our way to Mount Cook. Thanks to Katie James who kindly let us their Camping in NZ book, we found this lovely spot! The combination of the turquoise lake and the snow topped mountains made the scenery just phenomenal! The campsite we stayed is right by the lake so we could watch this lovely view from our camper van. When we arrived it was really windy and cold, but the following day was really hot so we decided to stay there for another night so we could enjoy this spot for longer. Within 15mins walk there are a few shops and restaurants with loads of holiday lets to stay. Next door to our campsite was also Tekapo springs, where you could enjoy some spa treatments, hot pools, water slides etc.

The girls enjoyed playing on the beach and they both managed to paddle in the lake too. Miia and I went for a quick swim too…it had to be a quick as it really was freezing! Even colder than the water in Finnish lakes!!!
