Three Must-Visit Local Attractions

• Lake Tekapo & The Church of the Good Shepherd: Just a short drive away, the lake’s breathtaking milky-turquoise color, caused by glacial flour, is a sight to behold. The iconic stone Church of the Good Shepherd on its shore provides a profoundly peaceful photo opportunity and a poignant connection to the region’s history.

• Mt. John Observatory: For arguably the best panoramic views in the region, drive up to the University of Canterbury’s Mt. John Observatory. By day, gaze over the entire Mackenzie Basin; by night (on a guided tour), experience one of the world’s most accessible and spectacular dark sky reserves through powerful telescopes.

• Tekapo Springs: Perfect for all ages and seasons, this complex offers geothermal hot pools with stunning lake views—ideal for warming up after a winter hike. In summer, enjoy the water slides or ice skating. It’s a wonderful way to relax and rejuvenate your muscles after a day of exploration.

Bush Holiday Home provides more than a place to sleep; it offers a comfortable, private hub from which to discover the sublime beauty and adventure of Tekapo and the Canterbury high country. It’s where memorable days end in total comfort.
