High Country Retreat - Lake Tekapo

Stunning view. Beautiful retreat

The poor wifi

View was amazing,location was quiet and private

Nothing

A very well laid out studio apartment with a great view.

Wifi was slow, often cut out or didn’t download items needed.

We had a great stay at this unit—the location was excellent, the view was fantastic, and everything was clean and comfortable. It was a great place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

On one morning, we woke up to find that the electricity had gone off. It turned out there was scheduled work from 9 AM to 4 PM, but we were not informed in advance. This was really disappointing, as we had food in the fridge that had to be thrown away and couldn’t even make a cup of tea in the morning. Better communication about such disruptions would have made a big difference!

The place is close to the town center and very quite. The bed is comfortable and the room is spacious and warm. Also enough space for the car outside.

There’s no kitchen with ovens in the house, just a micro wave. During the Christmas and New Year, many restaurants are closed so we can only heat some fast food by microwave.

Construction noise from a site nearby and large trucks reversing up the driveway right next to our room early in the morning. No real view of the lake. Further from town than expected.
