Shopping
Unless you're after a kiwi souvenir, keep your shopping expectations pretty low.
Ski Equipment and Clothing
Lake Tekapo does not have a ski shop.
Souvenir and General Shopping
The Tekapo township has a few small souvenir shops with a couple that also double as craft shops. One souvenir shop is a huge juggernaut that sells all things kiwi: the mandatory sheep related souvenirs; sheepskin and woollen clothing; wood carvings; and Pounamu jewellery.
Run 77 Merino Gallery in the main street of Tekapo is an upmarket shop selling merino clothing products, ice-breaker products (NZ inner garments that are sold world wide) and a few other niceties.
Grocery Shopping
The village of Tekapo has a small 4 Square supermarket.
