Quality reflection time is a moody evening in the heart of the McKenzie Basin, free to roam unimpeded by fence or road through expansive skies and big mountain vistas. The interpretation of local Maori for Tekapo is “hole in the sky”.
Tekapo is a place where the world stops turning. Tekapo is my refuge from the trauma of daily life! and “Heaven” is travelling to Tekapo with the family, through coastal cloud via Burkes Pass into the pristine blue sky to watch the sun setting over the snow capped Southern Alps.
