Our plan had been to arrive here around sunset time so we could get a few nice photos at the Church of the Good Shepherd with the sun setting in the background over the lake. Then we would go get dinner at Mackenzie&#8217;s Bar and Grill looking over the water as the sun finishes setting. Unfortunately with our flight into Christchurch delayed we weren&#8217;t in time for sunset. We definitely didn&#8217;t miss out on Mackenzies Bar and Grill for dinner though!

I really think warming it would have made a big difference to it. I guess on the flip side though, being gluten free it may fall apart being warmed up. We noticed some others near us having the cheesecake of the day and it was a pretty serious serve and looked very good, but it wasn&#8217;t really what we were feeling like this night.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I definitely recommend giving Mackenzie&#8217;s Bar and Grill a try when you are in Lake Tekapo.
