Amazing historical farmhouse just outside of the village center. A beautiful property that feels very secluded even though you are still close to everything. Equipped with a very modern hot tub but most of the furnishings are quite antiquated which fits with house.

"查詢lake tekapo petting zoo即可找到木屋位置，就在隔壁…我們當天參加完這個小動物園的行程就照著飯店方給的指示去繞，好不容易找到了入口，發現就在動物園旁邊，入口還是同一個，只是我們從不同方向進入，真的很搞笑。"
