Tekapo lakeside holiday park

Hello from a frosty Tekapo! ❄️

We’ve just ticked off a bucket list moment—relaxing in the hot pools with snow all around us! No snow falling, but being surrounded by the white stuff while soaking in steaming water was still absolutely magical. 🧖‍♀️🫧

We’re staying at the Lakeside Holiday Park, but if you’re in a big caravan, heads-up: we got parked in a cold corner, and it’s definitely not ideal in these -7°C temps. One gas bottle ran out overnight (no heater!), our tanks and pipes froze, and we woke to a chilly 0.2°C inside and -6.1°C outside—not the coziest start to the day! 🥶

If you’re thinking of staying here in winter with a larger van, maybe give it a second thought. We were told they don’t have much room for bigger setups. I’ve bottled up what water I could since we can't refill our tanks right now.

Still, those hot pools with snow on the ground? Totally worth it.
