The Godley Valley is a remote alpine valley at the northern end of Lake Tekapo, renowned for its braided glacial rivers, vast tussock plains, and dramatic mountain scenery. Surrounded by the towering Southern Alps and fed by the Godley Glacier, the valley offers a true wilderness experience.

A bit in the valley, you will find this little hill rising above from which you have an absolute fantastic elevated position to capture stunning images of the valley and the rivers.
