Great relaxing place and neat/tidy. Rooms spacious and kitchen lovely. Sunny and very warm house.
Nothing
The house was warm, enough parking space, good wifi, kitchen utensils available, working washing machine and dryer, comfy beds, bed linen,pillows provided, the information booklet that helped us quite a lot about Tekapo
The vacuum cleaner was not working, it would be great if there was one working so we could clean up after ourselves better and help you out too.
Absolutely fantastic! It was a private and relaxing retreat from a busy few days. The property had everything you could need for your stay. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in the sun and for stargazing. I would recommend this property to anyone. Don’t be put off by the construction mentioned in other reviews, there is building work being done but this is done during the day when you are likely out of the property and finished at 4/4:30. It did not impact on our wonderful stay

房间干净,温馨
被子很敷衍的盖了一张床单,周围好多建筑工地
Great for family and is very cozy. Also one of the best place for stargazing

Felt very cheated. Paid NZ$1,150 for 1 night. Photos showed Mountain View’s, made to look idyllic. In reality a building site! I have photos to show every window faces a tractor, a digger or some machinery. Inside is basic, the least provided for the most money on our trip throughout NZ. If possible keep driving, the lake is stunning but not worth an overnight stay. It’s over crowded, basic facilities and mainly fast food.
Very modern and clean. All the facilities of home. We were travelling light so great to be able wash clothing. Spacious lounge, kitchen and lounge living. 10-15 minute walk to Tekapo shopping/restaurants and Church of the Good Shepherd. Area outside was good to sit at.
Nothing too concerning- The development of (holiday) housing around the property has gradually obscured any view of Lake Tekapo. A house was being built quite close, so some industrial noise broke the peaceful surroundings. Taking a short walk up the hill behind gives you a good 360 degree view. Would be nice to see gardens grow up over time.
Beautiful property and just a quick 5 minute drive from the town centre. Very clean and had parking on site.
There were no paper towels in the kitchen, the knives in the kitchen were a bit blunt
Everything
Heated beds, plenty of room, well designed, excellent location
Still in the middle of construction around the building but everything about the house itself was exceptional.
Very nice host, and the house looks new.
It would be perfect if Washing and Drying Machines provided.
Very warm and comfortable house, fully equipped, all furniture is very new. There is free parking at the entrance, the kitchen is equipped with complete cooking facilities, the towel rack in the bathroom is heated, and the washing machine and dryer are also available for use. There is a map of the Tekepo on the table next to the sofa, which is very convenient. First time using booking, so not very familiar with the process. At first, I couldn't find the key when I checked in, but with the host‘s guidance, I quickly sorted it out. The response was very timely.
Awesome house with everything provided you need. Lots of extras for children too. We didn't have any with us, but it would help if you did.

View good
We loved the attention to detail!! Everything had been designed to perfection and the decor was done so thoughtfully! Brand new and modern, but still warm and homely! We especially loved the seat outside perfectly-placed to see the Milky Way. We wish we had stayed longer!
We loved everything. Faultless.
All in all this accomodation was great, no complaints whatsoever and the main drag isn’t even that far away. Highly recommend!

It is brand new and beautiful! They thought about everything and it has all you can possibly need. THE BEST PLACE of our entire trip.
