This is the best location to appreciate the marvelous landscape of Lake Tekapo, the McKenzie Basin and the snow capped Southern Alps. The scenery is just gorgeous. Not too crowded when we were. Merely a short 10 minutes drive from Tekapo town, definitely a must visit if you are in the vicinity.

What a beautiful place to visit & look over the 360 degree spectacular views of Lakes, Mountains & nature. The best view to see Tekapo lake from here. 8 is worth to pay for entry on the special road & it's only 4 km from the main road. It's windy like crazy so make sure you take care of your belongings especially kids.

The lake water is clear and blue, the snow mountain on the other side of the lake. The whole scenery is like an oil painting. It is highly recommended to drive by yourself (parking fee is required). You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world here without time limit

Even at night, walking to the summit of Mt John is totally worth it. The view is absolutely incredible! If you go up during the day and the weather permits, you can drive up (i believe there's a small fee at the gate) and then walk to the summit from the cafe, but nothing beats that walk up the hill!

You have to pay 8 to enter the road but this is definitely the best view of Lake Tekapo. Enjoyed our morning here, lots of awesome view points and scenic walks to take.

Truly stunning views at the summit viewpoint. -walk from base takes 1.5hours return (without photos) -walk through forested areas uphill but should not be any problem as Long as moderately fit and no time pressure -wind is very strong at the viewpoint, wind breaker is a must -panoramic views will definitely not disappoint

No photo as it’s closed for Covid. In New Zealand you don’t pay to see natural views so this place sux. You have to pay to see. Unfair and rip-off
