Overnighter to Tekapo

Tekapo Starry Nights & Mt Cook Museum – Departs 10.00am BP Rolleston Saturday 11th, return the 12th. The idea is we (with the help of Roger Reeves) will ride down on the Saturday morning, probably stop at Geraldine for lunch then move on to Tekapo. Once there we can have a look at the Canterbury University telescopes and inside the domes; Roger says it's probably o.k for the techs out there.....  But to spice things up after dark we can/will organise a night time viewing through a telescope which is run by Earth and Sky Limited.  A fee will apply to view.  Check them out on the following link. http://www.earthandsky.co.nz/ Pete & Sue Speedy from Tekapo are new members and also run the Tekapo Holiday Park .  They offer special discounts to Register members so we will stay there.  Phone 0-3-685 8078  to book your cabin.  Any queries phone Warren or Lex 03 313 0929.

Hi there, If you are coming on the ride to tekapo this weekend you may be interested to know there are hot pools in Tekapo now :roll:.  The narrative below is from their website. The entry fee is  $14.00 per person if my memory serves me correctly and are open till 9.00pm.  Departure point is BP Rolleston, 10.00am Saturday. Hope to see you there.  Warren & Lex   Alpine Springs offers three adjoining main Hot Pools landscaped in local greywacke rock and surrounded by the regions native alpine plants to create a natural setting. Pool temperatures range from forty degrees Celsius to thirty six degrees Celsius. The pools have benched seating around the edges so you can sit back, relax and soak. Each pool takes the shape of a lake in the area giving them a natural feel and offering many private seating arrangements. Each pool offers something different in the latest technology - massage jets to assist in taking away any aches and pains and fountains. Each of these three pools are forty square meters of surface area and a metre deep at their deepest point. Please refer to the concept plan for a visual reference. The three main Pools have been strategically placed on site to take best advantage of the wonderful views looking out over Lake Tekapo and the Two Thumb mountain range. The site is surrounded by beautiful Radiata and Douglas fir trees which keep the area relatively windless. Also coming soon...6 Private Hot Tubs. These hot tubs will be half covered and offer massage jets, privacy and wonderful views. Temperatures in these pools will be adjustable, so you can soak in any temperature you desire. Most importantly, you will be tucked away privately. Opening date to be confirmed.
