LAKE TEKAPO - LAKE PUKAKI<br />

SOUTHERN HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS AUTUMN-WINTER <strong>2024</strong><br />

Lake Tekapo Cottages<br />

Lake Tekapo Cottages offer selfcontained<br />

holiday accommodation in<br />

one of the South Island’s most scenic<br />

settings. Nestled in a large garden<br />

amid mature trees, this selection of<br />

charming cottages of varying size<br />

accommodate between 2 and 8 guests.<br />

Well sited for both mountain views and<br />

privacy, the cottages allow independent<br />

visitors to enjoy a country-style stay<br />

with modern comforts and village<br />

amenities close by. Tekapo has become<br />

a year-round destination with water<br />

sports, hot springs, skating, ski fields,<br />

scenic flights to Mt Cook and a World<br />

Heritage Night Sky attraction at<br />

Mt John.<br />

Home of Freshwater King Salmon<br />

Just outside of Twizel on the fringes<br />

of the Mt Cook National Park lies the<br />

exquisite Lake Pukaki with its turquoise<br />

waters. The main route south meanders<br />

around the edges of its shores and on<br />

a clear day, it’s impossible to drive past<br />

the iconic view of Mt Cook across<br />

the water without stopping.<br />

Here on the shores of Lake Pukaki is<br />

the Mt Cook Alpine Salmon Shop, a<br />

popular pitstop for those travelling<br />

between Christchurch<br />

and Queenstown.<br />

The Mt Cook Alpine Salmon Shop<br />

offers a very special kind of salmon,<br />

one found only in this unique corner<br />

of the world. While King Salmon is a<br />

premium salmon species Kiwis are<br />

spoilt with, Freshwater King Salmon<br />

has a unique taste and texture all of<br />

its own.<br />

These remarkable salmon thrive in<br />

the cold, glacier-fed waters that flow<br />

from the Southern Alps. Swimming<br />

against fast flowing currents keep these<br />

salmon naturally healthy and fit. This<br />

active lifestyle translates into a clean,<br />

subtle taste and delicate texture.<br />

So pause, unwind, and savour the<br />

iconic vistas and the delicious salmon.<br />

There are inviting picnic tables<br />

refreshments and some beautiful<br />

sashimi or smoked salmon to enjoy.<br />

Open 7 days a week (except Christmas<br />

day). www.alpinesalmon.co.nz<br />
