Very close to the centre of Tekapo, very convenient. Check in is very smooth. A little farm just 100 meters away, can see sheep and Alpaca. The house is nicely decorated. Can see the galaxy clearly at the garden.

Great Stay Near Lake Tekapo! The unit was sparkling clean and spacious, with a lovely courtyard to enjoy. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest. Contrary to some reviews, no deposit was required, which was a pleasant surprise. The location is fantastic—less than a 5-minute drive to Lake Tekapo—and parking right in front of the unit was very convenient. The check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The facilities were great overall especially kitchen amenities and 2in1 washer with dryer! The dish wash machine helps lot on the kitchen cleaning work! The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to add a fence in the shower area to separate the wet and dry zones, which would make it even better. Overall, a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!

I like the roof skylight that we can see stars from our room. From our room, we have full view of Lake Tekapo and the snow-capped mountains. Staff are friendly and breakfast is freshly cooked.

We loved the hotel. The room was clean and tidy and everything was in place. Just a 10 minutes walk down the road and we are at the lake. The beds are comfy and the night is quiet. I noticed there is another occupant in the other part of the room. If I were to stay for a couple more days, I would love to book the entire place. We could hear the people on the other side of the house but it was still pleasant to stay. It is spacious and the kitchenette was good. I read reviews that it was like an oven in summer, but it was okey with us because the weather wasn't hot and the clouds covered the sky which was a disappointment to my star gazing activity....all the way there...UNESCO night sky reserved...unable to see a single star.
