Beautiful lake away from the crowds

Message from Rach Stewart

Lake Alexandrina is a quiet lake near Mount John on the outskirts of Tekapo. There are a few small holiday homes by the lakes edge at this section of the lake and there is a camp ground if you wanted to stay during summer. If you want to escape the people and find some peace and tranquility this is the place to come.

There are jetties lined along the lakes edge which make for great photography subjects, and the surrounding mountains are beautiful at golden hours and sunset and sunrise.

The road to Lake Alexandrina is gravel but well maintained so there is no need for a 4wd.

Photography info: Take your wide angle and mid range zoom lens with you to this spot and it is best during golden hours with less wind and beautiful light.
