So cozy and clean. The heater was on for us before we arrived so it was so warm and nice in the suite during winter times. The complimentary bread and egg is such a sweet gesture as well! The bathroom was clean and comfortable with heater too. Recommended!
Loved how central it was to the main township. It was so cozy and warm which was perfect as we were stuck in Lake Tekapo due to closed roads during the snow storms - so this was just what we needed. The bathroom was spacious, clean with a great shower, and the closet and washer and dryer were a huge bonus. Would stay here again 💯
The room was an absolute delight, easily the best in my trip around the South Island, they also left some fresh bread and condiments for arrival. Check in was really easy. The shower and kitchen facilities were also good.
Nothing.
Very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We really enjoyed the welcome gifts on arrival, including fresh bread and chocolates - such a nice touch! The outdoor bath was also really enjoyable. Great location, only a short 5 min walk to the main town area.
Nothing!
We stayed for one night and ended up booking for another! This place was immaculate and incredibly cosy. 15/10
I didnt want to leave- if we hadnt booked in advance elsewhere we would have likely stayed for longer
Check-in was a breeze and all steps involved were clear and informative, the whole place was in immaculate condition. The location was quiet but still close enough to the main centre for dining, activities, etc. The accommodation was spacious and very inviting and cosy. Thankyou for a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and fast to reply to any questions we had as well, an overall enjoyable and positive experience.
We have nothing to fault, an exceptional property
Everything was amazing! The bread and eggs were very thoughtful & a really nice touch that helps the property stand out. The place was beautiful & comfortable.
There should be an easily accessible instruction manual for how to use the appliances like the cooktop & others.
The location and the comfort was amazing the breakfast was a wonderful treat. At night the stars were amazing with little light pollution
Nothing great accommodation
Located a 5 minute walk from downtown. The room was large and in excellent condition. All the facilities were as promised (washer and dryer in the room). Continental breakfast was provided including home made bread.
Need to walk about 30 m on the grass to get from the parking space to the entrance
離lake Tekapo很近。房間舒適。有洗衣機、烘衣機。
Gute Lage, sonnige und helle Unterkunft, sehr sauber.
The kitchen is well equipped.
The outdoor bath tube is not at all in the condition as advertised. Also the bath tube is kind of private but the owners half of the house directly nearby and the privacy fence is not welcoming and unsightly. They suggest to park at the main car park which is a 10 minutes walk uphill. Great idea doing that with some luggage… After arriving we were clearly hearing the owners through the locked door which connects to the main house. They had some guests with them and we would have been easily possible to „join“ the conversation.
Loved our stay here. Very clean and comfortable. There was a great view of the snowcapped mountains also. If the weather was better, you could easily walk to the main street also. Definitely would stay here again
Nothing we didn't like
Spacious well equipped comfortable apartment. Lots of welcoming touches - the bread was delicious! Easy walk to the village centre.
We could only seem to access 1 TV channel but it could have been our error!
The property and the location was amazing. The suite was pretty big and had all the facilities for a comfortable stay.
The instructions to reach the property and park our vehicle was confusing. This could have been easily fixed by better sign boards. Coordinates shared for the property on Booking.com was also incorrect.
Great location
Outdoor bathtub is not very useful Lack privacy
1.空間超大、乾淨整潔。 2.廚具、餐具完整,可以煮食。 3.洗衣機、烘衣機使用良好,也有提供洗衣粉。 4.廁所有暖風機,天氣冷也不怕。 5.房間舒適、風景還行(微微遠眺可以看到一點點的湖~~ )。 6.提供巧克力跟一個大麵包,意外驚喜。 7.走路到熱鬧的街算蠻近的。
1.廚房跟睡覺的地方是互通的,煮東西會整個房間都有味道,需要開門通風效果比較好。 2.這個房型的停車地點在隔壁房的前方,需提行李繞過後(石頭路或是草皮)才能進門。
房子很好,里面一应俱全,洗衣机烘干机都有。厨房用具也很全,可以自己做牛羊排。还能免费参加喂羊、羊驼的活动,很有意思
无
整体不错,但是由于是一个房屋拆分成两套民宿,从移门进入不是很方便
We stayed here as a stop over between christchurch and queenstown. Property was clean and well equipped. You can walk to the main town centre and the shore of Lake Tekapo in just a few minutes. Great location.
地理位置很好
Very clean, very comfortable accommodations. Would highly recommend. Close to town.
住宿位置在tekapo湖边的山坡上,开车三分钟可以到湖边,湖边就是小镇的中心了,超市、吃饭都集中在这块。公寓设施完善,洗衣机烘干机非常有用,厨具餐具齐全。我对卫生要求蛮高,公寓打扫的还挺干净的。 值得注意的是:如果你是天黑之后checkin,公寓有点难找!停车道入口在“刚刚”经过Darchiac Drive+Aorangi cres交叉口后的右手边,非常容易错过。停好车后是1A,往右手沿草坪走绕到里面是1B。
入住期间wifi坏了
Great location, really beautiful touch having fresh bread and chocolates in the room for us. Super warm and cosy could not fault. Outside bath tub was a beautiful experience under the night sky and stars.
Nothing. It was a beautiful stop over.
Comfortable bed and furnishings, lovely welcome touches with fresh bread and chocolates, and an easy walk to town.
Some maintenance issues (loose toilet fittings, removed shower door causing water on the floor, and outdoor bath tap/screening needing repair). Missing small conveniences like a tea towel, bath robes, or jandals for the outdoor bath. Outdoor bath and walk to it lack privacy from the footpath. Carpark is quite far from the front door. Noise travels easily between apartments due to poor soundproofing. Overall, value for money wasn’t as good as expected.
Our hosts were very accommodating! Very helpful and responsive. The property was lovely and well equipped and wondefully located.
facilities of home
carpark too far from lodge. toilet roll holder is janky and the dryer door hits the door frame
Good location. Clean comfortable room. Convenient parking. Quiet. Good in room facilities.
Lots of space
I wish more hangers were provided
Perfect stay. Very clean.
Very convenient and comfortable. Quiet. We were able to see the stars from our apartment. Washing machine and dryer worked well.
It was not easy to find the unit (ours was 1B) as there was no 1B signage anywhere around the door or along the road. Notwithstanding the directions provided by the owner (as we could only check in after the 5pm office hours), it was challenging to find the unit. It would be much better if there was some form of signage with the “1B” indicated somewhere on the door or along the road. It was also not clear where we could park as the only instructions given was “on right hand side”. A signage of “parking for unit 1B” may be better.
Lovely accomodation for a night on our way to Christchurch.
Space, furniture, location
We missed two reclining seats outside from which you can see the stars lying down.
The property is in a great location, walking distance to the main township. It is neat, modern, clean and comfortable with lots of useful facilities. There is a car park available, just a short walk from the property.
The property is connected to another house, so the noise travels fairly easily, although this didn’t spoil out stay.
Location
Can't think of anything
Wonderful stay - loved having laundry facilities since this was the midst of our 2 week holiday. We also golfed and met some of the animals in the petting zoo (with the adorably named Chupaca and Alpacacino, cute alpacas). The golf course is a bit rugged but who cares when you’re golfing in the midst of an incredibly scenic location? Absolutely stunning views from each hole. One of the resort employees was also our waitress at Blue Lake Eatery and was so kind to give us a terrific recommendation for a sunset viewing spot that felt very “only the locals know”. We also loved the great stargazing from the porch of our suite. Great stay and loved the charming town of Lake Tekapo!
Nothing!
Very responsive over email. Check in and check out as per email, so can arrive and leave at your own convenience.
So cosy with a comfortable bed and full kitchen. Appreciated having a washing machine and dryer to use.
We got a little lost finding the driveway as it’s located on the cross street.
Wonderful suite. Full kitchen and great bath. The bed was very comfortable. We had no difficulties with getting our bags from the parking spot to the suite.
Cosy and comfy. Great bed. Very good kitchen. The lovely fresh loaf of bread and chocolates left for us were appreciated. The owner had thought of everything. A great place to stay.
Very comfortable apartment and easy walk to village and lake. We were warmly welcomed with fresh bread, chocolates and heating turned on. We really enjoyed our stay.
This stay was wonderful. The place is modern and well appointed. A surprise loaf of bread and chocolates waited our arrival. Reception staff was friendly. The heater in the bathroom was great. The entry key is in a coded keysafe. Short walk to lake front and restaurants. Bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
The tv was difficult to operate and we never quite got it sorted properly. But everything else was super.
Presentation. Personal touches.
The unit is shared with another unit via an internal door. Very noisy with other guests next door.
a little cold
Clean. Very close to town!
The lock pad was hard to put back
Lovely self contained unit. Ample space for 2 adults. Extra large bathroom with large shower. Ample hot water and great water pressure loved the outdoor bath used it twice over our 3, nite stay. Easy 5 minutes walk into town for shops and supermarket. Also a 2 minute drive for the Chameleon Star Gazing nite that we had booked. Friendly hostess great views and neat tidy and clean. Would definitely stay as again.
All was as expected.
Lovely welcome note and gift of bread and chocolates on arrival. Lovely space, well equipped kitchen and great location.
Can hear the noise from the family staying in other part of the building (adjacent accommodation). There is a very short walk from car parking to front door - entry is up a slight incline and path is not paved- which was a little difficult with large bags.
Host was so kind and friendly, explained everything required and welcomed us to the area. Lodgings were clean and tidy, and washing facilities were a huge bonus as we were travelling down through New Zealand.
Not applicable, everything was excellent.
The parking area is a distance from Fivestone Suite and you have to walk past the house in front (over their lawn and in full view of their living areas) to get to the front door. It is joined to the main house and is not separate. It was raining the morning of our departure and there is no undercover walkway. We weren't supplied with a tea towel in the kitchen. The kitchen was lacking in utensils and bowls etc.
Clean, comfortable, nice furnishings, quick walk to town
Family next door were very noisy
Unit was very clean & spacious. Furnishings comfortable, especially nice king bed. Kitchen was well appointed, loved the homemade bread left for me. Extremely quiet location but very close to town centre & restaurants. Lovely views out to the lake.
Some kind of path to the back unit would be helpful for carrying bags & walking in the dark.
No breakfast, self catering accommodation
The studio apartment is spacious, and very comfortable. Lovely, new facilities. Great kitchen and bathroom. Quiet (other than the town alarm that went off at 1am!!)
It was difficult to find the reception area upon arrival - the instructions helped, but it could be more clearly marked. Once we found the reception, customer service was excellent. Parking is available next to the adjacent cottage, and the short walk to the cottage isn't very clear - although instructions with the booking do help.
The stay was simply comfortable and amazing. I recommend getting unit A because the car park is nearer to the entrance. We like how spacious and equipped the place is plus the view outside is amazing. It has a fully equipped kitchen and also washing machine with dryer that we used. The bed was really comfortable and soft. Definitely recommend this place!
Have to lug all my luggage over the grass as my unit didn't have a dedicated car park in front
Loved our stay in Lake Tekapo staying at Fivestone Suite. The little house was super modern, clean and fresh. We loved the beds and the bathroom was nice and clean with a heater and heated towel rack. Amazing views of the night sky from the property and the host was nice and friendly with picking up the key etc. Overall, we had a great stay in this accommodation and would recommend it to anybody looking for a high end suite around Lake Tekapo.
The outdoor bath didn't quite meet our expectations as it is quite exposed and the little fence around it needs to be fixed but other than that everything was perfect!
Outstanding suite with everything you need. Beautiful decor and plenty of light with 2 patio doors out to the deck. Easy walk to the shops and points of interest in the town.
Car parking was slightly awkward as it is a bit of a walk to the suite, but not a game changer as far as the rating goes.
Excellent location and comfortable apartment.
Access to property (AptB)was difficult as we were advised to avoid grass, the only reasonable access. The air conditioning remote had obscure location taking time to find. The phone line was down and email with key code arrived very late causing difficulty on arrival.
Nicely set out and presented studio apartment with kitchenette and shower room. Accurate photos on booking.com, though the written description incorrectly says that there is a bedroom and separate living room - it is all one space, as in the photos. Lovely gesture of bread and chocolates on arrival. Easy walking distance to restaurants and lake Tekapo. Ate at TLV restaurant which was superb.
Picture 1 shows a gravel pathway up to the studio, this is not a driveway. Parking is around the corner in front of the attached larger house and it is not easy to transport luggage from car to accommodation, particularly up this steep gravel pathway. Being attached to another house impacted on privacy, though the hosts had placed planters as nice dividers, we woke up to find the gentleman from next door sitting on the patio outside our bedroom window, smoking. The studio itself was spotless, but the outside bath was dirty with scum marks on the inside of the bath clearly from previous users. I recognise that it was just one multipurpose room, but the previous occupants had clearly been cooking with some Asian spices as the smell in the room was overpowering. OK in a kitchen, but terrible in a bedroom, and impacted on our enjoyment of the room.
This is a cozy and warm place to spend the vacation. We love the house!
None of it
Instructions for tv. Everything seemed to require a password.
Great location, quiet neighborhood. The house was extremely spacious, clean, and well equipped with everything you could need, even provided a loaf of bread for breakfast. The best part for me was the heated bed!!! You could get some free animal feed from the check-in counter to feed the goats and alpacas near the lodge.
Check-in process was slightly stressful because I had to call a few times before I could get through the phone to the receptionist. Since the keys are obtained from a lockbox, perhaps you could consider implementing a self-check in to just send the lockbox code to guests through the booking messaging system? It also would be extremely helpful if car parking instructions could be sent beforehand as well. But apart from these, we truly enjoyed our stay!!!
