Tekapo Springs

sight hot poolsrelaxscenic

Hot pools and winter ice beside Lake Tekapo, a relaxing end to a Mackenzie day.

Why go

Soak in warm mineral pools with a lake-and-mountains panorama — and, after dark, some of the clearest star-filled skies anywhere.

Set on a hillside above Lake Tekapo, this alpine spa complex offers a series of hot pools of varying temperatures with views out over the turquoise lake and the Southern Alps. In winter it adds an ice-skating rink and snow-tube park, while a day spa and sauna round out the offering year-round. Soaking here as the stars emerge over one of the world's great dark-sky reserves is a memorable way to unwind.
