🌟 Community Giving Back Campaign 🌟

This year, we launched our inaugural campaign focusing on supporting local groups, starting with the incredible Lake Tekapo Fire Brigade. After a busy summer season, we invited our homeowners to join us in making a difference—and the response was truly inspiring! 💙

Thanks to their generosity and Book Tekapo’s commitment to match donations up to $5,000, we raised an impressive $10,800! 🙌

These funds will go directly towards vital equipment to enhance the brigade's ability to serve our community and visitors.

A huge thank you to the dedicated members of the Lake Tekapo Fire Brigade for their unwavering commitment and volunteer efforts. 🚒🔥 Together, we’ve made an incredible impact, and we’re excited to continue supporting more local groups in the future!

Fresh snow on the mountains this morning 🥶.
