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.
