Retro Inn 2 - Lake Tekapo

景觀很美，床很舒服

希望有抽油煙機，不然煮飯起來煙霧繚繞

We love the cosiness of this property, the views from the lounge and think the property provides value for money.

The shower is an older type and the head is quite low for taller folk.

We really liked the retro nature of the place, and it was easy to access and park. The view was gorgeous and the house had everything we needed. The house was very creeky but we didn't mind that - part of the ambience. Loved the selection of books and CDs.

The house was very cold and took time to warm up, though we didn't use the fire, just the air conditioning. The shower was not very strong, and the bath was old. The house, in general, is a little tired, and we couldn't find a key for the garage.

The view

Pillows were flat and uncomfortable Bed was hard and uncomfortable No matches for the fire Very loud banging through the night which constantly woke us - had the worst nights sleep. Could hear people on toilet in place next door as it’s a shared wall. There is a note on the wall in the kitchen saying the houses has noises - well we should have been told prior to booking. Price charged for our experience is so bad

Location and views

Single pane, draughty windows. Creaking and banging due to wooden structure, resulting in poor sleep. Sticky kitchen cupboard and drawer handles Fixed shower over bath 😕 Overpriced accommodation

位置近好牧羊人。房间大小，厨房设施很好，阳台也很棒。

晚上木板会自己响，加上门外一棵松树的松果不断掉下来砸到屋顶，很响，有些像子弹一样，整晚不断，完全睡不着了。这间成了全程最贵却睡得最不好的一个地方。如果不参加观星团，没必要住蒂卡波。

Absolutely perfect stay for us and our 6 year old. This was our most favourite accomodation on our NZ trip from the Nth to Sth island! We enjoyed eating our meals out on the balcony & getting cosy with the fire inside. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for a home cooked meal. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay & enjoy the beautiful Tekapo 🩷

Nothing!

Good view, nice and clean house.convenience location. Nice kitchen

Only one bathroom. The faucet in bathroom is too old. Cold and hot water are separated. It is impossible to wash your hands or face. The property staff is mean

Belle maison confortable toute équipée pour une grande famille

Le prix excessif

Very specious and clean. Had everything we needed for our two day stay and we especially enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen and balcony. Very handy 10 minute walk into town. Didn’t expect the FABULOUS view of the mountains and lake from the balcony. The house creeks but this adds to the experience. Staff in the Discover Tekapo office were exceptionally friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Nothing.

The homeliness, views, location...nothing to fault.

Nothing, we loved our stay.

Nice cabin feel.

Nil

Close to main market and lake.. good sized bedroom and house is really beautiful with view

Price is little bit higher but may be due to school holidays

Rustic retro log cabin feel. My young daughters loved playing on the mezzanine stairs. Lovely and warm with big fire and heaters in every room. Beds were super comfy with electric blankets. Amazing views!

Nothing

Well set up, not fancy but clean and cosy and well appointed. We loved the log fire and the table tennis table in the garage below. Good range of cooking implements in the kitchen. There are views of the lake and mountain and it is about 10 mins walk to the village where there are restaurants and a supermarket.

Unfortunately the washing machine was out of action, and we were not told of this before arrival. We always book places with washing facilities so this was an unwelcome surprise and meant we had to bring lots of washing home with us.

No breakfast, location was awesome

Beds were rock hard very hard mattress and pillows need replacing. Step stairs outside down to wood pile and garage need a hand rail for safety, hand rail also needed on main entrance

It had a lot of charm, kept quite warm, had great views and was close enough to town. It had everything we needed.

Nice knotty pine decor inside; we liked the availability of DVDs, coffee and milk, lots of kitchenware. It was nice to have a view of the mountains, even though it was somewhat limited. Glad you had both AC and heat. We used the AC!

The bathroom sink faucets are quite outdated, having the faucets be very short, and having separate cold and hot water faucets. We would have loved screens on the windows to prevent the little moths from coming in. It took a little time to get used to the creaks, groans and snaps that randomly sounded inside the house. It's a lively little place!

Great cabin like home. Air conditioning for summer, books and board games and DVDs and cds. Pingpong. Spectacular views. Retro chic. Clean and happy place.

If I had to say something it's the mysterious creaking the house makes. Cute poem on the kitchen wall assures you it's sturdy despute the sounds even when nobody is moving. It just creaks and nothing to worry about. First night was a bit hard to block out to sleep.

The location and the villa. Very comfortable.

There was nothing we didn’t like

The location was perfect. Close to the town centre. Amenities were very clean and had everything we needed. When collecting the keys, the receptionist was very helpful in giving recommendations.

The house does creak quite a bit. We were warned about it.

Comfortable beds, spacious sitting room with nice views

No dryer for the laundry

Comfortable house in lovely location with a good view. Really easy overall and we loved staying there.

The house itself is noisy because it's wooden and during the day warms up and at night cools off making loud sounds as it does so. Would recommend earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Might just be a springtime issue with the changing temperatures.

Very cosy and warm, and had everything you need

The carport was a bit tight

Beautiful views. Fully equipped house, loved the fireplace and wood supply.

Loved the view, slept with the curtains open so that I could see the stars and the sunrise

I’m not a fan of over the bath showers, shower curtains are always cold. I did have a bath but it’s only a shallow short bath so not that grest

It was nice to have a fireplace and a table tennis table. The view was reasonable from the balcony too.

The creaking of the house. It was cracking and banging all night as the house cooled. The building of the house must not have used correct expansion joints etc. It cracked and banged when anyone walked around but it also cracked and banged very often when everyone was in bed. It was enough to keep me and my children awake.

It was quite close to the lake and a tiny village there (2-3 min by car if I remember well). Nice vibes at The Greedy Cow Cafe for breakfast/brunch :) Also good that electrically heated covers (if you want to turn them on) were provided in the house´s bedroom, since it may be quite cold at night. Otherwise I was quite disappointed, I am sorry :(

Quite an old house, it´s rather a cottage. We were not prepared for totally creaking stairs, so if somebody uses the third bedroom upstairs, any step creates big noise. And it is inevitable that people from upstairs bedroom go downstairs and back more times since there is only one toilet for all 3 bedrooms in the whole house on the ground floor, right between other two bedrooms. So I was repeatedly woken up also during the night, even if just 1 person from upstairs went down for toilet (and they tried to be as silent as possible). Also, that toilet is very tired, with very old, half-broken faucets on the sink. The third bedroom upstairs is not closed (no door) but an open space, so watch out for it, if you need more privacy.

Quite and cosy place. Clean and warm. Very nice to stay in this little place. Enough for 4 of us. View is OK to see from my deck a little of lake Tekapo . Neighborhood are quiet and safe. Very close by for us to walk to the village in 12min.

Only one toilets and share bathrooms . Have to take turns. Have a staircase which is not suitable for senior citizens who has problems with knees finding it hard to go up and down. More suitable for young peoples. Hot water is very limited and slow.

A really interesting property. Imagine a wooden Swiss chalet. Lots of space, very good facilities. Located just a 10 minute walk from town centre. Table tennis available in the garage

TV/video was very difficult to operate.

Large house with all the equipments needed, even cooking oil, salts and laundry powder! A bit old one but quite tidy. I love the beds. Own parking space. 3 mins drive to the rental office, 5 mins drive to the 4 square super market.

The water pressure is not too strong (though still ok).

Location was awesome, so near to all attractions and cafes. The ladies in the Discovery office was friendly and all smiles.

The loud squeaking of the house, there are several times we wake up late in the night or early morning. And also, we weren't given enough towels.

Comfortable and well equipped, glimpse of the lake

No rubbish bin in the kitchen, only 2 towels provided, expensive

The property was located in a great place with good views from the patio.

We were a group of 5 adults travelling. The description didn’t say that there was only one bathroom and toilet which inconvenienced everyone. There was not enough hot water. The property creaked all the time and was very very disturbing. Acorns kept falling on the roof at night making a very loud sound disturbing everyones sleep. There was a large basement which housed a washing machine. An extra toilet/bathroom in there would have been appreciated.

Tv to small

We like the retro feel, with the fire place, music player with CDs selection, a room in the attic, spacious sofa, balcony looking out to the lake and mountains, cooking facilities, table tennis table in the garage. Like the rocking chair too.

Tap water is either very cold or very hot. It is freezing to wash hands with the cold water. Washing machine is in the garage below.

The ambience,

Everything was amazing

The view of the lake

No dryer only washer

View

Loft room, no privacy, hot and no mirror

Cozy, comfy, clean and perfect for a family.

everything, beautiful place to be

location, comfort, clean

Really loved the retro styling. The whole place was of a good decent size. Appreciated the supply of firewood. Staff at check in and check out were very friendly and helpful.

The heater in the front room didn't work very well, which we didn't figure out til it was too late to raise with mgmt (we were only there a couple of days). We did struggle to keep our 14mo daughter warm as a result. But we let management know when we checked out so they could investigate, and it seemed they would genuinely look into it. Also the bed in the main bedroom was pretty uncomfortable, you can tell it's been flipped and rotated a few times. Probably due for replacement soon.

Great location, very cosy place and super clean. The beds were personally on the firmer side however that’s just personal preference. I still loved the place and would go back again!!!!

The property has spectacular views, comfy beds, plenty of space and is very clean. We'd happily stay here again.

Great location, very comfy accommodation. Handy enough to walk to the lake and stores. Views from the balcony over the town and lake.

A little creaky but that's a Lockwood for you. A few cobwebs around in the corners.

it was exactly as it looks in the photo! comfy, clean, three great bedrooms and a family bathroom. superb wood burner I. the living room and a heat pump you’re not going to be cold. third bedroom is on the mezzanine upstairs with great views (it’s open plan).

having to dig deep to find something here, but the lack of curtains on a big upstairs window meant you could see the fantastic night sky and the sun woke you up rather early!! Being wood, it creaks a bit!

comfortable
