Location is alright for driving, not for walking tho. Two toilets are good. Apartment was warm when we arrived. Fireplace was good.
Very cheap and basic facilities, owner could have spared more money on some new kitchen stuff such as cutleries, pots and pans and even a cleaning sponge, or slightly nicer toiletries. Floor in bathroom is gross, carpet is filthy. Previous guests' leftover bread and pasta still there!Bench was sticky. If you expect guests to clean the property for you then you should write it up in front instead of sending a message after booking is confirmed because this is not Air b n b platform!The 2 single beds are not supportive at all to earn a good sleep, just a place set up with low budget. Also not a big fan of receiving there marketing message from related business 2 mins after made reservation.
i liked the location and the view and how the house was with essential facilities that we needed.
pillows were dirty especially in the living room, beds were not sponge could feel the springs, bed was not comfortable, the floor carpet was stinky and smelled bad. I was walking bare foot in the house and foot got greasy and black borwn colour of floor dirt. saw lots of hair here and there. so please make sure it is clean next time. thank you.
Lovely views, nice large living area. Comfortable beds. However the one rooms electric blanket did not work. The couple that slept there were cold at night.
The kettle!! This appliance switches off way before the water has boiled. No amount of trying fixed this, so we had to boil water in a pot on the stove! This was very annoying. The pan should be replaced!
We really enjoyed our stay. 🥰🥰 The kids loved it, especially being able to visit the rabbits in the bush behind the backyard. The place was tidy, clean, and close to everything. We would definitely stay here again!
There was no dryer ☹️
Amazing location. Beautiful home very clean and nice facilities
Nothing
The mountain view is really nice. Location is perfect for unwinding.
The kitchen stuff is a bit old and the lounge is dusty. A/C in the lounge is not heating that much so you really need to use the fireplace to heat the place.
Mostly everything, great location, clean property , has utilities in kitchen, laundry, heating etc. A great quiet place to stay. Views are great.
A odour that is present on entrance is hard to ignore
We had a great stay, the wood fire with more firewood than we could hope to use was a hit! The gas cooktop was a bit sketchy but it’s likely on their maintenance list. It was -7deg when we were there and we were toasy warm.
Location and view from the property is amazing.
The kitchen bench and some of the cutlery could be cleaner than what it was.
比较好。整洁, 方便。
如果能提供牛奶更好。
L emplacement et la vue, la maison en elle même son architecture.
L odeur de renfermé, la saleté dans la maison. Les sols les canapés, la cuisine, c était sale. Seuls les lits étaient propres et la salle d eau.
Good location
The kitchenware was filthy and clearly not properly cleaned. Basic facilities were missing, and everything that was available felt old and poorly maintained. The entire place gave the impression that it had been looted rather than prepared for guests. Very disappointing and absolutely not worth the money.
Everything...The house is surperb , we needed the heatpump as it got cold with the afternoon rain. But woke to a picture perfect scene, clear blue sky with snow peaked mountains right around. The house was placed on the site perfectly. Loved watching the bunnies 🐰 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Nothing.
A beautiful comfortable property! Stunning scenery and facilities. Perfect for a family and we had just the 2 of us!
Nothing really.
Kitchen needs an upgrade to the facilities, knives and so on. All the pans to the oven seriously needs cleaning. Otherwise the house is fine😊
Great view,well equipped full kitchen and good living spaces ..great for a family or group of friends .. heat pump effective and was put on prior to our arrival to warm the living area which was lovely. Fabulous wood burner in the lounge with ample firewood and kindling.
Winter duvets on the beds or electric blankets would be good in the future… athough there were some spare blankets at top of the wardrobe which was good. We stayed mid winter arriving in the evening so although the lounge/ living warmed really well ..the bedrooms were pretty cold.
I was very happy with everything about this property.
Perfect spot
There is a poor sound insulation of the toilet. The rest is fantastic. Very warm and very clean.
Washing machine is in garage, cold and dirty. Pile of dirty/clean linen next to it? We could not use the washing machine for the entire stay wihout having to worry about hygine. One of the toilet has some old stain on it, was really gross. Host should also check gas operation prior to guests arrival. We had issues with hot water supply. Actual view is dfeerent from photo, photo should be updated from booking.com.
The place was quite beat up, marks all over the walls and burns in the counter tops. Not as high end as it appears online. There were dirty linens in the garage sink that smelled.
View is nice , location is convenient
The kitchen cooking ware are old and dirty. The house is very hot even the air conditioner is on. No air conditioner in the rooms, we couldn’t sleep well as it’s hot.
Amazing views
Could do with dimmer switch or table lamp/s in lounge
No ACs or heaters in any bedroom. Heat blankets not available for all beds, only in some. Living and dining area was burning hot on a hot day and the only available AC in the entire property wasnt effective enough to cool the area even by a degree lower. It was an uncomfortable 3 hot hours from 4pm to 7pm. Only 1 bathroom in such a big property with dual doors to it and no locks to either of the doors which is ridiculous. Property is dated and unlike the photos. Only saving grace was the view. However definitely not worth the price they're charging per night. Read some old reviews on this property now while it was too late though and found same issues pointed out since past 2 years by multiple people and still the same issues persist which means the hosts arent bothered about these reviews and dont care about customer service and concerns. Hence, Families with kids and/or parents please pass over this property and look for other properties nearby. Many more and better properties available in Lake Tekapo at the same or better rates.
Roomy, good parking, quiet.
Looked like it had seen some hard visits, lots of marks on the walls & carpets need a good clean.
Very clean , nice home , great view
The openness of the outside in
We cooked our own
One night for $ 790 was far to expensive
the size and location of the unit
lack of dryer
Booked last minute due to a road closure so wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was amazing! Loads of space, comfy beds, great location with an amazing view. Owners are so lucky to have this property it’s just stunning! Couldn’t recommend more it was definitely worth the money.
Lovely spacious kitchen, it was so warm with the sun streaming through.
The bathroom, there was no locks on either so we had to let everyone know who was in the bathroom. It definitely needs a refresh - new paint. There were so many marks everywhere. Definitely need to update the pictures as there is no longer a lake view :)
The view was amazing
Didn’t have enough towels, the home looked a bit rundown with scuff marks on the walls and there was a bird stuck in the fireplace that we had to hear it scratching the entire stay
Sitting on the back deck and taking in the spectacular view or stargazing once the sun went down was very enjoyable.
Could include more condiments, cooking oil etc
Fantastic home. Lots of space, great amenities and big kitchen. Has everything you need for a stay.
2 issues: Not able to walk from town. Staff refill "brand label" hand wash, shampoos etc with cheap / crappy products. The shampoo bottle was labelled as not having certain ingredients , but had been refilled by something else causing a reaction ( it same product as hand wash, body wash and shampoo). Disappointing
The views are spectacular in this glass house. A home away from home. It has the best shower that I have ever had in my life! Despite all the glass, the house is incredibly well insulated that no heating was required.
More towel rails/hooks in the bathroom.
Great location, great for families
Great views, very sunny and warm during day
An extra blanket would have been great as we aren't ones to run the heat pump all night
Appreciated wine and chocolate. Thank you
It was beautiful location absolutely loved it was warm and cozy nice big kitchen was such a stunning house
Location Nice modern house Heat pump
Kitchen utensils including toaster were dirty Room heater was not effective No tissues papers were provided Bed was lumpy and pillows too hard
The home and scenery was perfect
The layout the fire the view
Beautiful place to stay. The fire was in a great spot. Lovely view of the mountains. Easy to find. Will stay there again.
Mircowave was to low. And the single beds where my children (4&3 years old) slept weren't made. The beds had a mattress protector and a duvet on it. Plus it states you get a queen bed but ended up being a double.
I like fireworks.
Expensive
The location was beautiful with clear views through to the lake. The wood fire made a welcome edition in the snow and it was modern and clean
It is well used in areas with paint chipping or scuffed
The location
I was a little disappointed at the state of the walls, bench etc all chipped and marked
The outdoor seating area was beautiful with views of lots bunnies. Love the street lamps in the area, they looked like lanterns! Interestingly, they also turn off after 9 or 10pm so you get a clear view of the milky way at night.
The bathroom situation was no good. You can access the bathroom from a bedroom and a walkway in the common area but there's no way to lock either of the doors from inside the bathroom. So every time someone goes in the bathroom, we had to make sure everyone in the house knew that someone is in the bathroom to prevent an embarrassing situation. Luckily we only stayed for one night so it wasn't too stressful.
The facility is not being looked after , walls and floors are dirty and damaged , furnished with the cheapest furniture that could be found. The photos are also misleading as there is construction right in front of you and your lake view is taken up with another house right in front of it , the website photos does not reflect this. Dishwasher was also left and not cleaned up
Nice view. Good size house. Great shower.
the toilet door doesn't have locker
A very nice property in a fab location with amazing views. Very comfy, clean and excellent facilities.
Great location
Lack of maintenance of the facilities
The view is amazing
Spaceous room
Good location. Quiet. Great living area
Gorgeous property in a great location and we enjoyed our stay! Lovely decking area, gets the sun all day long!
The property is great and well equipped but is in need of a good deep clean and refresh, bathrooms are fine but all other rooms look a bit worn, cobwebs etc in every room, rips in sofas, paintwork chipped and marks on walls.
The view is very good
Well-equipped space, peaceful spot with fantastic views
The view/ location and the extra toilet
Broken furniture, dirty walls and doors. Musty smell. Broken clothes horse and drawer handles. General uncleanliness.
The house itself on the outside and the views were stunning.
The house was grubby, heatpump didn't work, cleaners were to contact manager but we never heard. Middle bedroom was quite musty smelling. We would not have used the cooktop as it smelt. Drawer liners were horrible, need replaced.
The smell was bad, so we asked the landlord to deal with it, but they just sprayed some pesticides. It was disappointing. We had to rent another house by ourselves.
The views are amazing from the property! Easy access with of street parking, comfortable beds, good layout & nice to have a fire place to use.
The walls etc were so marked & could do with a good tidy up, I have never seen so many marks & dents on walls before 😬 the house inside could do with a good clean. ( light shades etc )
