Lake Alexandrina

Discover the Beauty of Lake Alexandrina

Located at the foot of Mt John Observatory in The Mackenzie Basin, Lake Alexandrina is a short distance from the town of Lake Tekapo. Drive there easily in your Queenstown Motorhome Rental, and visit the Mount John Observatory at the top of the hill just across the road from the Lake.

The Scenic Reserve

Classified as one of New Zealand’s Scenic Reserves and a Crown Protected Area, Lake Alexandrina is teeming with bird life and fish, and the opaque milky blue colour is testament to the glacial origin of the waters.

Activities and Attractions

An oasis in the surrounding desert landscape, there are many walks and fishing spots all easily accessible with good roads and a camping ground. Only rowing boats are permitted on the lake, sail boats and motor boats are prohibited, which means the place has many varieties of fish and undisturbed bird life.

Stargazing at Mount John Observatory

The surrounding country with its beautiful dark night skys are some of the best places in New Zealand to check out the southern stars. This is the reason for Mount John Observatory just next to Lake Alexandrina. Your Queenstown Motorhome is easily driven up the winding road to the summit with its several night sky observatories and observation points.

The Church of the Good Shepherd

If you haven’t already stopped off at Tekapo in your Queenstown Motorhome Rental, check out the world-famous Church of the Good Shepherd on your way further north if you are going further on to Christchurch.
