"The amazing views of Lake Tekapo and the snow-capped mountains in the backdrop were stunning, making it a great place to just relax! Our suite was very clean, spacious, well-appointed and equipped with all modern appliances as well as great connectivity to the internet. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom included a huge bath tub, perfect for a nice warm soak! The kitchen had all the basic necessities to make full meals. Parking was conveniently located in front of the unit."
"Booked this place well in advance for the labour long weekend so got a great price. Apartment was huge and spacious and well worth it for the price. Had everything you need plus some with a full kitchen and laundry. Prob the only thing I could fault is that there was a smell in the apartment that could smell as soon as walked in. I assume it was prob from previous people staying cooking curry or something. Tried to air it while was there but smell still retained for the 2 nights I was there. Would stay again. :)"
