As an outdoor painter, my favourite painting spots were the Church of the Good Sheppherd, along the lake and the lookouts at Lake Pukaki,. Our grandson fished at both the Lake Tekapo and the Twizel canals, and was happy when he caught two salmon. We ate at Ramen and that was excellent, and used the 4 Square a lot, it was well stocked and had good choices.

Twizel was an area for farming & sheep grazing until the NZ Govt decided to connect all the Alpine Lochs via a series Canals & Power Plants to create a Massive Hydro Power Scheme in the late 60's. It took nearly 20 years, but at the completion of the Power Project the Village of Twizel was established & the Power scheme workers & residents wanted the town to remain. Luckily they won the day & Twizel became part of The MacKenzie County Council set up & is now a Tourist Mecca for Alpine Enthusiasts. A great place to base yourself whilst visiting Mount Cook/Aoraki & the surrounding Ben Ohau Valley Region. Twizel still has that quaintness of a small Alpine Village, a quality that seems to have been lost in other nearby Tourist Meccas.

Timaru is a delightful town set in mid Canterbury, and is strategically located so one can enjoy day trips inland. The town itself is prosperous. Caroline Bay is a delight, and has been developed to be a destination for families in particular. There are a range of eateries to cater for different tastes and pockets! An interesting range of cultural attractions worth viewing too.

Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.

Quiet town with all the amenities. There is a nice cafe/restaurant called Eat which is worth a visit with very tasty and good value meals. Over the road, Mount Hutt takeaways offers tasty and good value fare as well. It serves Chinese takeaways and fish and chips. Of course there's also the Fairlie Bakehouse with its home made pies which are worth sampling.
