CANTERBURY LAND DISTRICT.—TEKAPO VILLAGE.
Village Lands.

Locality and Description.

Tekapo Village is situated at the southern end of Lake Tekapo, on the eastern side of the Tekapo River. It is distant twenty-six miles from Fairlie Township and Railway-station, and fronts upon the main road from Fairlie to Mount Cook Hermitage, being connected with both places by motor-car service. The position of the village on the shore of Lake Tekapo, which extends for eighteen miles into the midst of the mountains, the high altitude (2,360 ft. above sea-level), the dry and bracing climate, the magnificent view, and the proximity to mountain and glacier scenery, all combine to render the village admirably adapted for a week-end or holiday resort for town residents and others.
