Fantastic!

10.0

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

Over priced, a building site and not even worth half of what we paid. Felt cheated.

Detached.

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.

Experience of home living in Tekapo

10.0

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.
