The Church of the Good Shepherd is situated in one of the most beautiful locations in New Zealand - Lake Tekapo. Built as a memorial to the pioneers of the Mackenzie Country, it combines nature and faith, creating a spiritual atmosphere that visitors from all around the world find enchanting. Inside, one can explore the historical and spiritual significance of the church, while taking in the stunning views and indulging in some photography (by prior arrangement).

Photography info: Capture the beauty of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Lake Tekapo during the golden hours, framing the iconic church against the backdrop of the Southern Alps. At night-time you can capture the stars and the milkyway in one of the darkest sky reserves in New Zealand.
