The small cabin near Mount Cook is an excellent spot for stargazing

🌌 We stayed one night each at Lake Tekapo and Twizel this time to see the star-filled sky. Everyone knows that it's hard to book accommodation at Lake Tekapo during the peak season, and it's often fully booked, so Twizel near Mount Cook is also a great choice! 💁🏻‍♀️We set off from Lake Tekapo, visited Mount Cook, and then stayed in Twizel, where there is less light pollution and fewer people. We stayed at the 🏨 Mountain Chalets Motel, which consists of two-story cabins with parking right in front of the cabins, very convenient! At night, we watched the 🌃 stars right outside our door, feeling like we had the whole starry sky to ourselves! 🌈 On the way to Mount Cook, you will pass by Lake Pukaki, which is the so-called 'Milk Lake'! On a sunny day, the color of Pukaki Lake is a soft milky blue, a bit lighter compared to Lake Tekapo. I must say, the beauty captured in photos is really just a fraction of what the 👀 eyes see! 🌟 Recommended spots to check out: ✅Mt Cook Alpine Salmon Shop: There's a salmon shop here, which is also a viewing platform with a convenient parking lot! You can eat salmon while enjoying the lake view on the shore of Lake Pukaki! Such a wonderful experience! ✅Peter's Lookout: This lookout is very close to the snowy mountains, where you can take photos of the mountains and the winding road together, and also overlook the lake view of Lake Pukaki! ✅Tasman Glacier View Track: 📍Tasman Glacier Car Park, this hiking route at Mount Cook has two directions, officially 15min to the left and 25min to the right. We actually walked and took photos for just about 1.5 hours, suitable for beginners and families with children. The advantage is that you can get close to the lake. 🌈 From Twizel to Oamaru, you can navigate 📍Twizel-High Country Salmon-Otematata - Aviemore Dam lookout-Aviemore Dam lookout - Oamaru 👉 Along the way, there are continuous beautiful views of grasslands, pastures, and lakes, with many places to stop and 📸 take photos!
