Local Attractions

Lake Matheson – Photographers flock to Lake Matheson to capture the mirror-like reflections of Aoraki/Mt Cook and Mt Tasman in its still waters. A wheelchair-accessible walk to the jetty viewpoint takes just 40 minutes return, giving you ample time to stand and stare in wonder. Alternatively, see the lake from every angle on the 2.6-kilometre lake circuit. It takes an hour and a half, but we’d allow extra time to drink in the views.

Fox Glacier – There are few places in the world where you will find glaciers nestled between rainforest and the sea, yet New Zealand boasts many. The most well-known are Fox Glacier and Franz Josef. Set just half an hour’s drive apart, they offer a unique opportunity to view a rapidly retreating geographic phenomenon–global warming has seen the ice sheet shrink dramatically in recent decades. Fox Glacier is the longer of the two. Descending over 2600 metres along its 13-kilometre length. It’s an impressive sight and one not to be missed.
