![HOW TO SPEND A DAY IN GLENORCHY 💚
(coming soon to the blog)
📍 [ save this post for later ] 📍
🥑 Brekky @the_gyc
GYC is one of the few places that serve a fresh brekky menu in Glenorchy. I highly recommend sitting outside in the garden to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and views.
🛶 Waterfront & Red Boatshed
You can’t really go past Glenorchy without spotting it’s famous red shed (see previous post). It’s come to be a popular spot for pictures, and also the perfect starting point for the Lagoon Walk.
🌿 Glenorchy Lagoon Walkway
Much more than meets the eye! This trail has two routes exploring the Dart Rivers Lagoon system and surrounding wildlife.
☕️ Coffee @glenorchytradingnz
A great stop for coffee or baked goods, the Trading Post sits right by the Lagoon Walkway starting point/carpark. Where better to warm up after a little chilly walk?
💍 Find some LOTR sites
The most famous site in Glenorchy is Isengard; one of three major fortresses of Gondor. You can view this spot from the Dart River Bridge along Glenorchy-Routeburn Road.
🛁 Enjoy the hot tub @kinlochwildernessretreatnz
I’ll let the pictures do the talking for this one. It’s just dreamy…](https://scontent-syd2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/244783223_324729472756348_3425187538646698308_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=yNoUbq6StkEAX-gvRh2&_nc_ht=scontent-syd2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&oh=40f6f687626555fb3b28ce60b072ea2d&oe=61734BF7)
