Mirror Lakes
About
When in South Island, Mirror Lakes is the local business that serves as a viewpoint in Southland 9679, Nueva Zelanda. The site is known for the still water that reflects the surrounding landscape, a quality that gives the place its name. First-time visitors should expect a roadside stop rather than a built attraction, with a short walk to the water's edge and no facilities beyond the viewing area.
Mirror Lakes sits in the Southland region, south of Te Anau and within reach of Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka and Kaikoura. Two photographs document the viewpoint, and a 4.5 out of 5 rating from 210 reviews places it among the more popular stops in the area. Visitors travelling between the main towns of South Island can reach the viewpoint by road, since the island's settlements are linked by domestic flights and ferries as well as by highway.
South Island's temperate climate makes summer, from December to February, the most popular season, while winter at low altitudes remains mild. New Zealand food is built around fresh seafood, lamb, dairy and local wines, and English and Māori are the main languages spoken. The combination of a short stop and a long driving route makes Mirror Lakes a natural break for anyone covering the southern part of the island.
A 4.5 out of 5 rating from 210 reviews reflects steady approval from the travellers who pull in. The viewpoint's position in Southland 9679 places it on the route between Te Anau and the wider Southland region, so it fits easily into a day of driving.
