Astro Cafe, Mount John, Lake Tekapo

Reflected view at Astro CafeThis surely is the best location for a cafe in the world! Atop Mount John, over looking Lake Tekapo, you will find the glassed Astro Cafe offering panorama views across Lake Tekapo and surrounding mountains.   To be honest, they could be serving pretty average food and who would care with views like this!

As it happens they serve a nice coffee, although I didn’t like the large cups they used for flat whites (in Wellington they are served in a smaller tulip cup, thus the drink is stronger!) and have nice cabinet food and typical Kiwi fare. Service was friendly but a bit hap-hazard, as if they were new to serving coffees.

..But the view… the view!
