★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice walk through the rolling hills. Some pools of water to attract birds, can dry up. The fields are more amazing when the flowers blooming. I went from the residential area to the road and back. Bring water, hat, sunscreen up. Sunny days are hot.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had no idea this was here. We were just driving on the road going north from Lake Pukaki. Absolutely beautiful. I think the flowers were on private property. However, there were many people parked on the side of the road that had jumped the fence. No one seem to mind about all the tourist being in the fields. I heard that the lupines are considered an invasive species. Great place to get some photo ops. We went in early December and I would say that the flowers were at their peak.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ On the easy side for a 1.5 hr walk. You'll see Tekapo River, forest, grass fields, and views of Lake Tekapo. Once you arrive at the Lions bench, you can continue on the park or cut through to town.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Loved the raw nature, it had views of Lake Tekapo & surrounding snow capped laps, Tairns & birdlife, even on a cold day - it was invigorating.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The walk sets off along the river bank before heading into the forest plantation behind the houses. The track climbs gently through the trees before emerging out into the open country behind. This follows the 4WD track to a high point before descending to cross a firebreak out on the open tussock lands of the Lake Tekapo Scientific Reserve. From here, it is an easy walk back to the Cowan’s Hill car park, where you can continue on to the Pines Beach Walk. This section has lovely views of Lake Tekapo, Motuariki Island and surrounding mountains.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We did this on our bikes and it was quite tough for younger ones on their bikes. A couple of uphill climbs and some with loose gravel/rocks. We started the track near the bridge on the state highway. The views are brilliant and there’s a nice rest point at the lions seat. The track from the lions seat is mostly downhill to the main state highway. There is a short part of this track which involves cycling on the road so just be mindful with younger kids.
