"Property was in a good spot for walking into the main town centre.
Felt good choices were a little lacking in Lake Tekapo.
Beautiful town and we did some great activities whilst we were there. "
"A one-night stay en route from Queenstown to Methven on a ski trip. Great place to stay, new, well equipped and warm, which is amazing in the coldest town in NZ. Super views from the unit, friendly host and a midday check out was very civilized (this applies only to some units). Highly recommend"
"Absolutely loved our stay. Has a functional kitchen, we were able to make ourselves pasta for dinner. Fantastic, peaceful location. You can’t go wrong booking this. "
"The only downside was that we were next to a room being renovated. This did not spoil the view from the room and the closeness to the lake. Absolutely loved it."
"Beautiful room with a stunning view; warm and comfortable plus pristinely clean.
Friendly welcoming staff
Easy walking distance to lake, cafes, bars and restaurants
Very highly recommended "
"What an absolutely fabulous, beautiful place!!! We stayed in a 3 bedroom family lodge, it was just unbelievable. Felt so luxurious and absolutely all details were perfect, for example lovely quality toiletries. So spacious, we were 3 adults and 2 children. Immaculate stay! Washing machine and dryer in the garage were super convenient. Fully kitted kitchen. Would highly recommend. "
Be amazed by the color of the lake against the snowy backdrop of Aoraki/Mount Cook as you hike, drive or ride through this incredibly picturesque landscape.
