Astro Café

For the coffee with the best view, try Astro, which is atop that big bulge of rock called Mt John/ Ōtehīwai. For hikers who climb the summit, it's a beacon of energy-replenishing delight. Others who drive up, there's a road-user fee of $8. Mt John/Ōtehīwai, Lake Tekapo. (03) 680 6960, darkskyproject.co.nz
