The iconic Church of the Good Shepherd is situated on the shores of Lake Tekapo amongst the natural beauty of the lake and the mountains.

The Church was built in 1935 as a place of worship for the pioneer families of the Mackenzie country. It is still used regularly for worship by various denominations in the Mackenzie and is part of the Mackenzie Cooperating Parish. The special and spiritual feeling and the surrounding natural beauty of the church draws couples from many nations to the Church to be married.

The glacial feed to the lakes in the region gives them a distinctive blue colour, created by glacial flour, the extremely finely ground rock particles from the glaciers.
