Play the game. Drive the journey.
If you’ve stood under Tekapo’s pixel-perfect skies in Minecraft, you’re going to want to experience the real thing. Tekapo is home to one of the world’s best dark sky reserves — and it’s even more magical in person. Think stargazing at Mt John Observatory, soaking in the Tekapo Springs hot pools, and scenic drives surrounded by snowy peaks and glacial lakes.
The town of Lake Tekapo is the perfect overnight stop for a South Island adventure, especially if you’re road-tripping from Christchurch to Queenstown. And with very little light pollution, it’s one of the best places in the world to see the Milky Way – no game controller required. Visit the Church of the Good Shepherd at sunset, then head up to Mt John for a guided tour of the night sky.
In the game, you might build your own observatory. In real life, you get to look through a powerful telescope and learn about the stars from passionate astronomers. The real-world wonder takes it to the next level.
With Ezi, your road trip to the stars starts with comfort, reliability and the freedom to take your time. Whether you’re flying into Christchurch or Queenstown, you’ll find a branch nearby to kick off your alpine escape.
