Mt Cook - MacKenzie Country

Don’t just drive past one of our favourite regions: it can offer you so much more than a lunch break. Most people mainly know Tekapo for its picturesque church on the edge of a turquoise lake. This place is also world famous for its starry nights with an unequalled view of the Milky Way. The absence of city lights combined with the purest and driest air in NZ create perfect conditions at the nearby observatory – a few minutes away, or an hour by foot for insomniacs: the sky is the limit...

Mount Cook (alt. 3754m) in the back drop caters for the best climbers. The highest mountain of this beautiful country also proposes more gentle walks.
If it’s curiosity that brought you in, we know of secret addresses that tourist guides overlooked.
