Where to find 10 perfect places to take a mirror-image photograph in New Zealand

New Zealand is blessed with so many extraordinary landscapes, none more stunning than its prolific lakes. Whether you’re seeking somewhere to sit and reflect in nature’s beauty, or to take an incredible mirror-image snap, here are 10 unmissable locations.

Lake Benmore

Even though it’s man-made (the largest man-made lake in New Zealand, in fact), the mineral blue of Lake Benmore in South Island is a natural wonder. Take a leisurely walk around the Benmore Peninsula track for a stunning overview of the lake’s islands, neighbouring mountains and surrounding forest. There’s also good boating and fishing.
