The MacKenzie Country is best known for Lake Tekapo, a gleaming turquoise reservoir set in the middle of a landscape of brown tussockland, with the Southern Alps as a backdrop. It is quite special, especially if viewed from the handily placed Mount John.
You can drive up to the top which saves a lot of hassle. But I think that half the enjoyment of a mountain view comes from the satisfaction of having climbed up there in the first place. It’s the satisfaction of having earned the view. If good scenery is all you want, you may as well just go to the cinema.
Jo doesn’t agree. We drove up.
