Liked: Cleanliness
The fridge was not functioning when we arrived. It had apparently been switched off for cleaning and not switched on again. The bed lacked electric blankets. This strikes us as strange given that Tekapo is reported as being the coldest town in the country... The unit was a little bit tired and in need of new paint and fittings e.g. the toilet roll holder. On the plus side, the spa pool was great and the outlook onto a small park, pleasant.

Very nicely located in a tranquil corner near the famous Church and very photogenic Lake Tekapo. Within walking distance to the main strip and very close to the Tekapo Springs. The place itself was very comfortable with TV Wifi, full kitchen and laundry machine -- ideal for a family of four who want to spend a week by the lake. I hope to come again when the weather

Perfect location for exploring Lake Tekapo
Owner was very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the Eastwing cottage, which was very spacious and well-equipped. Comfy bed & powerful shower. The washing machine was an unexpected added bonus! There was also free onsite parking. Excellent location - very peaceful and just a short walk to the lake and town where there was a good selection of restaurants and shops. All in all, it was a very comfortable 2-night stay.

We were very disappointed because when we arrived, the property told us they double booked the room. We were not able to stay at the cabin because the other party arrived first. The owner did pay for us to stay at a local motel, but obviously we would have preferred to stay at the cabin we had actually booked. This was a big let down!
