Embark on a stunning drive from Timaru to Lake Tekapo, a journey that showcases the best of South Canterbury’s landscapes. Departing the coastal charm of Timaru, head inland through rolling farmland and wide open plains.
A perfect halfway stop is the charming township of Fairlie—home to the famous Fairlie Bakehouse, where a freshly baked pie is practically a rite of passage.
