We made Shear-vue our base of operations for seeing the Lake Tekapo / Aoraki / Mount Cook area. By day 1, we wanted to cancel the rest of our trip and stay here. By day 2, we were scheming how to get adopted into Julie and Tony's family. Waking up to a backdrop of sheep on endless fields of green, to the stars at night, to visits from the pet lamb was already a joy. And the entirely homemade breakfast was beyond delicious. Though a drive to get to Tekapo from the farm, it is well-beyond worth the trip to stay at this beautiful farm. I can't recommend it enough!
