A gentle walk leads to views of the mountains reflected on the still waters of Lake Matheson. It's one of our best short walks.

A great, peaceful cafe with nice fresh air, and a short kid friendly trek to the Jetty Viewpoint with amazing views at the right time.Please note: in the mid afternoon, the Jetty Viewpoint is too bright and ripply to have any of the iconic reflection that it is known for. I had to come back later in the day right before sunset to get the reflection I was going for. (Pics included of sunset vs. 12pm noon)Also, when I did come back for sunset, be warned that there were dozens of tourists that were bussed (maybe 20 or 30, but me included I'll admit) but it can ruin the vibe depending on the chances of getting a tour bus. Please keep it peaceful, as the sunset itself is very beautiful and lots of locals like to go there for peace and quiet as well.

Unfortunately, due to repairs to a bridge, I couldn't complete the loop walk today, but the walk I did was like walking through fairy grottos, with all the mosses along the way. The view of the lake from one viewing point was spectacular, for the reflections on the water

Great teachers, good school. My daughter enjoys going there and has just transitioned from North Canterbury. It's well worth the drive out. The learning, friendships and welcome atmosphere has exceeded our expectations

Nice views, nice walk. Highly recommend. There was a few groups already there for sunrise. Definitely do the walk around the lake as there are a number of good viewpoints right around. The reflection point really depends on the weather as it needs to be super calm.

Beautiful walk around lake Matheson with some of the best views in New Zealand on a clear day. Make sure to walk the entire loop circuit as there are many other great spots around the lake.

Great fun for all ages. They do mix it up over time. When I visited last we collected numbers for each sponsor which were signposted. And write them down till you got all 41.
