Tekapo hot springs question?
So I'm about to do my annual South Island pilgrimage and each year I mean to drag the team to these hot pools near Tekapo, that I've heard comments about on here over the years.
I just want to clarify, are you all talking about the Tekapo Springs, 6 Lakeside Drive that have concrete pools shaped like the local lakes. Or is there another mob operating somewhere in that Mt John/Mt Cook region? I had images of wooden hot tubs and booze but the Tekapo Springs looks more a family day out place (as opposed to a pub!)
If it is Tekapo then I suppose we need to find accommodation in that overpriced tourist trap of a township. We often stay at the Geraldine pub or a Wanaka Motel when in that area. Cheap and nasty but hey we're on bikes, not Rollers.
2nd question. Do you just walk up from the Springs to the Observatory? Or is this a no no, you take the long road around the hill.
