\n\t\tVisit Lake Matheson\n\t<\/h1>\n\t

Lake Matheson is in Westland National Park and theTe W\u0101hipounamu – South West New Zealand World Heritage Area . It is 5km from Fox Glacier Township on the west coast of the south island of New Zealand.<\/p>\n\t

A trip to Fox Glacier is simply not complete without a visit to the Matheson Caf\u00e9 and ReflectioNZ Gifts and Gallery. Right by the entrance to the famous Lake Matheson walkway, the caf\u00e9 enjoys pristine views of New Zealand’s highest peaks, Aoraki \/ Mt Cook and Mt Tasman. Our gallery and gift store showcases carefully selected contemporary merchandise with a New Zealand flavour-NZ themed jewellery, designer merino garments, greenstone & souvenirs, New Zealand artwork & photos.<\/p>\n

Lake Matheson Directions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Turn onto Cook Flat Road when passing through the middle of the Fox Glacier Weheka township (this is well signposted). Then travel 5km along this road, and then turn right onto Lake Matheson Road. Drive to the end of the road – you can’t miss us.<\/p>\n\n

Lake Matheson Swimming<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You can swim in Lake Matheson, but it is quite difficult. The lake’s edge is quite wild and has very little access to the water’s edge. You can swim at the view points but will risk the wrath of other visitors who will be wanting to get a photo with no ripples in the water.<\/p>\n
