Picture Perfect Lake Wanaka, Clay Cliffs & Lake Tekapo | South Island, New Zealand Vlog 3/5

In this vlog we hit up some of the most scenic sights in the South Island of New Zealand. We made the journey from Te Anau, passed back through Queenstown to get to Wanaka and eventually made it all the way to Lake Tekapo. It was a super long day of driving but so worth it getting to see such breathtaking places. When we arrived in Wanaka we needed a quick refuel so stopped by a lakefront bakery called Doughbin. They had some award winning NZ pies so it was a no brainer for us to eat here before going to see that iconic Wanaka tree! The Doughbin Bakery Address: 123 Ardmore Street, Wanaka 9012 Hours: Mon–Sun 6am–5pm The scenic spots we visited in this vlog were: 1. The Devil's Staircase We pulled over for a quick stop at this lookout spot on the drive from Te Anau headed to Wanaka. Be careful when you pull over as it is a busy winding road. 2. Lake Wanaka There's a lone willow tree that's one of the most photographed trees in New Zealand. It's right next to a car park too, so super easy to get to. You need to come on a still day and either very early or closer to sunset to get that perfect snap. 3. Lindis Pass On the way to the clay cliffs, there's a unique mountainous area that's covered in that classic NZ tussock grass. There are 2 lookout points that are very easy to get to from the carpark. It's a great excuse to take a break from driving and to stretch your legs while soaking in some stunning scenery. 4. The Clay Cliffs Sometimes known as Omarama Clay Cliffs, these astounding "badlands" came to be around 20 million years ago when they were created out of layers of silt and gravel deposited by ancient glaciers. Wind and rain eroded the landscape leaving amazing pinnacles behind. The clay cliffs are on private land and there's an honesty box at the gate entrance. 5. Lake Tekapo / The Church of the Good Shepard We weren't originally planning on going to Lake Tekapo on this South Island road trip as it meant adding to our already very long day of driving but we figured we just had to go see it. We're glad we did. We got to catch the sunset over the breathtakingly beautiful turquoise lake with snow capped mountains in the background. In summer you can see colourful lupins in the fields so I think we need to return again in the future! It's worth staying til night time and waiting for the stars to come out as it's the largest gold standard dark sky reserve in the world meaning it's the best place for star gazing.
