空間舒適、乾淨,距離蒂卡波湖很近,設備齊全,連調味料都有準備!
Were moved to Macaulay House last minute due to a bathroom leak in the Bach. Great comms to get us settled. Snowed the first night! Very comfortable modern home with everything we needed for a large group. Views of the mountains. Quiet location.
None. We we’re transferred to another house due to water leak. The BRAEVIEW HOUSE - view of the lake was nice and place was comfortable.
We hated that we were transferred to another property on suchSHORT NOTICE (night before)! and was Less Number of bedrooms AND RUN OUT of Hot water ☹️☹️☹️😞😞 THE BRAEVIEW house - not enough hot water.. need you get a new and bigger one enough for the GUESTS.

House was specious and everything was great
Only problem was parking was at the back but there is no access from garage as the door was not opened it was bit difficult to carry luggage specially when it is raining.
Cleanliness, location is good. Easy to locate. House fully equipped.. feels like home.

Hot water not coming
Convenient and quiet location. Nice kitchen facilities. Clean rooms. Stuff was responsive.
Got an issue with hot water, which wasn’t solved after staff helping to change the gas tank for a couple of times. So unfortunately we ended up with no shower for most of people.
Great location, and the host is very responsible. When the kettle and air conditioner broke down, they came to fix the problem on site very quickly. 位置好,房东挺负责,热水壶和空调有问题很快就上门解决了
Basic daily supplies are insufficient. Items like facial tissue and cling wrap are not provided. After checking with the host, I was told these are not included in their provision. 必备物品不够充分,比如没有抽纸和厨房保鲜膜,和房东沟通后他们说这些他们并不提供
Comfortable stay. House had everything we needed.
Accidently left an item at the property. Host confirmed it had been found and I arranged to pick it up only to be told on arrival that they could now not locate it, bit disappointing
The off road parking, showers were good, a great communal area and excellent location.
Heating in main living areas bearly adequate, kitchen knives were blunt, wall heater in hallway not working.
Location and House.
Great location Large space well equipped Fairly quiet
As wet afternoon we watched a movie & during the afternoon the windows filled up with large house flies- all doors & windows were shut In investigating we found bird poo on inside of the window on left facing the lake & flies seem to be coming from behind curtains - killed & got rid of at 30 in end. Also few maintenance issues - one bathroom the shower door not closing properly & kitchen tap was loose
Location is closed to the town centre
Cleaning issue. The house wasn’t cleaned properly after the last guests. Unfortunately, smell from cooking/ food still lingered throughout the house and beddings. Not sure if bedding was changed properly. Quick response from the team after we raised the issues. But it could have been avoided in the first place.
Plenty of space
Not enough dishwasher tablets provided
It was spacious and clean. With easy instructions on how to get in
The weather. lol
Mooi uitzicht over het meer en ruime woning.
Location Email concerning the Aurora appreciated
1) 1st bedroom (left) door was hard to open & close because it was getting stuck on the carpet. 2) Garage Door (left) did not want to lock. 3) Poor lighting in the garage 4) in the bedroom with the bunk beds, top bunk was too wobbly & deemed unsafe. 1 person had to sleep on the lounge instead.
Very clean spacious house excellent for a large family
It was more spacious than I expected! There was plenty of space for our group of 9, with 5 bedrooms overall. Quick and friendly responses from the team, clear check in instructions, lots of info and guidance provided in the house manual! The coffee cart was also just a short walk down the road.
Some dishes were a bit dirty but I just cleaned them before use.
Perfect location, clean and good facilities.
Unfortunately the Fridge was on the wrong setting. All our salad vegetables in the fridge became frozen and we had to chuck them out. ... You cant defrost a lettuce. Is it posisble to clear the path a bit more that heads down to the parking area. Its a bit tricky navigating the edge of the hedges.
Very nice, relaxing and clean Amazing, no clutter Good for big family We supper like it Keep up the clean and tidy place! Surely everyone will like it. Kudos!

Had everything we needed for our stay. Heating was excellent.
The view was fantastic.
There was nothing we didn’t like.
The layout of dinning lounge kitchen is open and spacious big gas stove was great lots of utensils very warm and cozy decking was great with a good partial view of lake and snowy hills. Garage for 2 cars washing machine n dryer we loved it and will be back great for the whole family.

Big house. Clean and tidy. Good beds.
Broken dishwasher. Doors that do not close properly. Dangerous 3 bar heater - loose wheel base with no automatic power cut off. A fire risk! The oven was disgustingly dirty and therefore caused huge amounts of smoke filling the rooms when door opened. Heat pump struggled to heat the large room.
Worth every cent!!!! It was frustrating but expected to find a lot of airbnbs in Tekapo that were ridiculously overpriced especially for some only being 2 bedrooms but this house right here was the cheapest for a family of 9. 5 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 living spaces and the biggest kitchen I’ve ever seen, in pristine condition. It was far from what I had expected. Location was great, not too far from town and you wake up to the most beautiful views.
I wish the car parks were just a tad bit closer to the front door or there was another way to get into the house but other than that, nothing negative to say about the house itself.
Well maintained house. Spacious and excellent features.
At night someone knocked the front door. More than three times. Tried to found the person but not worked. Then we switched on the front light. Everyone scared, so slept very late.
Sufficient beds for all of us. Convenient to shops
0nly one PowerPoint for 2 reading lights and 2 electric blankets. It was inaccessible behind the bed head of a very heavy bed . Unfortunately nothing was plugged in when we arrived and it was a major effort to access the PowerPoint. The stairs to the garage were bloody dangerous . No landing at top and varying size step heights . Wouldn't be permitted in Dunedin.
House big enough for 11person of us and clean
Bed not comfy and not all room got heater supply
Warm. Comfortable beds, nice towels and linen. Great to have such a large open space for our family group.
Kitchen was missing a few things that we would have liked as a self-catering group for a couple of days. No grater and not enough cutlery. No vacuum or brush and shovel. No cooking essentials such as oil, salt and pepper. Floors felt a bit sticky.
The location was ideal, close to town. There is plenty of parking space. The Bach houses alot of people and it never seemed like it was cramped or uncomfortable. Rooms were spacious, and everyone had an amazing time
It seemed like the place wasn't toooo well kept. On arrival found some broken glasses hidden away with the other glasses, and the dinner table was always sticky no matter how many times you wiped it down. Also couldn't find the remotes for the TVs in the rooms.
beautifully spacious home
view but that's OK 👍
The house was wonderfully set out with lots of room to spread out.
perfect spot, good size bedrooms and living areas. The host was great and helpful
Lots of space for families, beautiful view, easy access, warm.
Would have liked basic cooking things like salt, gladwrap, oil - these would have made cookign easier.
Lovely and functional. Only thing missing was a fireplace, but having said that the heat pump was fantastic and the house was very warm even with snow all around.
Large, comfortable, and well equipped holiday home with a beautiful view.
Spacious modern house with lots of room to socialise and play games. Plenty of bedrooms with great views and bathrooms had great water pressure. Kitchen is big and well equipped with a good oven, gas hob and dishwasher. Nothing to complain about!
The two main bed mattresses were a big hard. The chest of drawers in the end double room kept sliding out on their own, and easy to bump into when walking past. There was not a shovel and broom handy for sweeping up a broken bottle on the kitchen floor, and no extra cloths to wipe the floor of the mess. (I couldn't find in the garage either - only a broom)
almost a perfect score the only thing we missed was a fireplace everything else was top notch
no fireplace
Great location with a small view of the lake. Lots of room for all the family. Heating worked well and kitchen well supplied with pots and plates etc.
It would have been helpful to have at least a small brush and shovel available to sweep up children's crumbs but alas none found. There were plenty of plates for our big group but we did keep running out of utensils so had to wash them separately often to be able to reuse.
Very spacious and the staffs are easy to reach out.

Great space for all the family
A fire would have been nice
Very spacious
Perfect location with beautiful views of the lake and lots of natural light. 20 min leisurely walk to the town centre. Very comfortable stay and the kitchen was well equipped. Ideal for groups.
Could not fault much. Great place to stay when in Lake Tekapo.

The Washing Machine is very dirty, spoiled our white clothes.
It was roomy and very comfortable. A lovely terrace to have a cup of tea on in the morning. Nice and quiet and a very walkable distance into town. A nice area to sit down inside to chat and socialise in.
The space, the views
Easy to find and access, plenty of rooms and comfy beds. Has a few spare blankets and pillows which are really good.
Not very clean floor Not very private. People walked through backyard to get to another property.
Ambience, location and the property
Only 1 attached bathroom and 1 common
The view, the location, the cleanliness, comfort of the beds.
No blind above the kitchen sink so people from the street could look in not to mention the people in the bedroom opposite Lighting in the main living area was very very bright which made it uncomfortable
Clean and all facility is good.
Loved it.Everything is perfect.
Location
Having the whole family together under one roof was wonderful. Very comfortable.
Contacted the agency but have not heard back, that is disappointing.
Lovely spacious home, ideal for large family. The kitchen was well equiped, 2 bathrooms and comfortable beds. Lovely deck to relax on on sunny days with a few of the mountains. Visited Round Hill Ski field which was brilliant and close to accommodation/Tekapo.
