Burkes Pass - South Island
On the road between Queenstown and Christchurch, you'll find a little village that's typical of the USA... well, reminiscent of the Gold Rush, but in New Zealand. In Three Creeks, you'd think you were in the cartoon “Cars”: old cars, old stores and gas pumps...
Burkes Pass
No hike
Depending on wish
Free
Short stop off at Three Creeks to step back in time to the 1950s-1960s and buy some typically non-New Zealand souvenirs! It's the kind of store you'd expect to find on Route 66 in the USA.
Access: on Route 8, 21 km from Tekapo on the way to Christchurch.
