- Lee (8/5): -
- junyi (10/5): -
- Phil (9/5): - Great spot close to town
- Saacha (7/5): Great location but kitchen needs some attention - Perfect location! Nice to have the whole house. Had a washing machine and kitchen. Lovely bathroom. Narrow driveway very small turnaround at the top. Needs some detailed cleaning in the kitchen. Sticky floor and oily range hood. The aircon unit had an unusual smell. Rubbish bins were blocking the bottom of the driveway when we left.
- Felix (8/5): -
- Aparna (10/5): -
- Varun (10/5): Perfect -
- Han Fung (9/5): Value for money ! - Cozy house !
- Hanako (8/5): If you are here for Lake Tekapo, it’s a great place in terms of value for money as the area is quite expensive! - Surrounding is absolutely stunning so understandable the rates are high. Only one bathroom and not the greatest water pressure for the showers. Not so cozy.
- Lucy (8/5): -
- PEIYUN (10/5): - 非常温馨 房间多 风景非常好 和朋友一起度过了非常美好的时光 员工没有好好确认 明明已经退房了 说我们没有退房多扣了一晚钱 不过很快退款了
- Nareshkumar (7/5): - Location Kitchen, pan and pots. Missing scrubs, paper towels. Toilet paper roll only one and half used. They dropped two more after I sent the message. Difficult to bring car at the property, narrow path and trash cans on the sides making further difficult. Pans were too old and used.
- Shang-Yun (10/5): Recommend for a group of friends who would like to enjoy Tekapo without being disturbed by tourists. - The location is great! Not too far from the city center, about 10 mins walk, so you can enjoy the relaxing vibe without seeing or being disturbed by all the tourists walking around.
The property is clean, tidy, roomy, and cozy. The bathroom is nice and tidy. The sofa and bed are both comfortable, so we have a nice rest here. They even have a washing machine!
You can literally see the Tekapo Lake from the entrance/balcony and the room on the 2nd floor. That's the main reason we pick here. It is worth it! We love it. The light in the kitchen is not working; it is a bit too dark to cook or do anything in the kitchen area. The hanging rack is a bit outdated. But other than that is a very good place to stay.
- Glenis (5/5): - Great position, views awesome Signage extremely poor, wouldn't like to be looking for it in dark. Driveway narrow and tight parking at top. Took a lot to work out how to get TV going.Deck and steps extremely dangerous in frost, need some signage. A front door mat ( inside) would be great, as not good walking in on carpet with wet muddy shoes.
- Fay (7/5): -
- Jason (9/5): Great place to stay while in Tekapo and was comfortable for a large family. - Great views and location. Was very comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. Nothing really, it was all good. Only thing to make it better would be to have wood supplied for the fireplace (but we probably could have asked).
- Flora (3/5): Great location but spoilt by old equipment and lack of cleanliness is - The location but the access needs work. It’s got an unstable step and is it very slippery on the deck The place was not clean especially the kitchen. The plates cups etc were mixed and done chipped. Little to clean with. The vacuum cleaner was useless and we needed to get a replacement which wasn’t much better.
- Angela (6/5): - Nice big house and they put heat pumb on for us
Had all cooking equipment No firewood for fire.
Needs more blankets as not all beds had electric blankets. There was heaters in rooms but could do with more blankets please
- Melanie (9/5): Superb -
- Bridget (8/5): Great accommodation for family - Awesome warm accommodation with comfy beds and lovely bathroom. Originally given the wrong code to access key but was quickly remedied. The driveway is also tricky to navigate and quite narrow.
- Natasha (8/5): Very good -
- Isobel (4/5): Not recommended - Position . The walkway was cleared of snow for our arrival.
Didn't like!
No communication when we said we we cold. Made my decision to book, on photos with the wood burner - only to be told the owners didn't allow it to be used! Inadequate heating, so much so we had to leave after one night. Partner forced to sleep in single bed as only one side of the electric blanket worked on the double bed. Inadequate instructions on stove, heater TV etc. Very uncomfortable night.
- Meghan (8/5): Very good -
- Hyeonah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sally (9/5): Superb - Great location, and the accommodation itself was really comfortable and had everything we needed for our family of 4.
- David (10/5): Great stay spot for a family or anyone really - Great central location, easy walk to town, great views and star gazing spot.
- Yah (8/5): Very good -
- Jackie (7/5): Good location but tired. - Location close to village centre. Some nice views. In need of modernisation. Some fixtures and fittings have seen better days. Cleaning could be more thorough.
- Daniel (8/5): Very good -
- Sophie (10/5): Absolutely spotless, super clean, very warm and comfortable. Very enjoyable terrace in the evening and close to beach! - Absolutely spotless, super clean, very warm and comfortable. Very enjoyable terrace in the evening and close to beach! Nothing
- Patricia (8/5): Very good - Location and cleanliness was great. Beds very comfortable.
Excellent place for stargazing and was very quiet. The lack of outside furniture it had a huge lovely deck but only one very unstable wooden chair. Only had 4 rather tired barstools (Acommodation is supposedly for 5) .
- Janice (8/5): Comfortable. - We would like to have instructions for TV! Wanted to watch the news and could not figure out the system, or was it faulty? 3 members of our group failed to work it out!
- Melina (9/5): Superb - Wonderful view from the bedrooms. Clean and spacious house.
Fully equip kitchen. No sign to show where the property is.
We have to make a couple of turns to find the property and ask the neighbor as the house number was not visible on the street. Would be helpful if there is a sign from the street to show the location of the property or if the host can give a guidance on how to get to the property.
- Chen (9/5): Superb -
- Fullerton (7/5): Lovely small town with beautiful scenery. - Spacious, clean and views were lovely. Bathroom nice & modern.
- Lei (8/5): Very good -
- Sridhar (8/5): Very good - The property was cozy. Had all the appliances required by travellers. Would have preferred separate bath and toilet instead of a bath cum toilet. Makes it a bit hectic for 5 people to get ready in the morning.
- Caroline (9/5): Superb -
- Katsumi (9/5): Cosy house - Good view from the rooms and deck. Warm rooms. Big space in the house and bedrooms. Wolking distance to town and Lakes. Lots of cooking utensils. Poor water presser for the shower. Only one toilet with shower room. No bathtub (There was a photo on the web) I think they are renovated.
- Y (10/5): Warm&Beatiful house - We love the spacious lounge and the kitchen facilities. The bedrooms in the upstairs are also very cozy. Very nice bathroom too. Unfortunately the carpark was a bit narrow and the street parking was full (maybe only the day we stayed?)
If you have a good reversing skill, it won't be a problem tho.
- Aaron (10/5): Family stay A1 - Amazing location, beautiful house, heaps of room! I wish we booked for longer!

- Rohit (7/5): Overall it’s a good place to stay - Close to the shops
- Kristie (9/5): Loved our stay in tekapo - The views were amazing. The house was so comfortable and warm. Contained every appliance needed. Very close to shops The driveway and parking
- Tanya (7/5): Good - Beds were comfortable, very clean Lights in stairwell to upstairs bedrooms didn’t work and heating panel in main upstairs bedroom insufficient
Bathroom was freezing, no heating and bulb in the one small ceiling heat globe did nothing to warm it. Combined with a shower curtain and recommended short showers were very necessary
Would also be great to add a dryer to laundry
- Donna (9/5): Superb - Location Nothing bad, but it would be more considerate if cooking oil is provided in the fully equipped kitcken.
- Ryan (8/5): Enjoyed my stay here, although an older house and hard to access, was clean and plenty of space - Open space. Good size bedrooms Steep driveway and steps up to house couple be problem for people with mobility issues
- Sukhvir (10/5): Exceptional - view n location
- Jessica (6/5): Lovely views and great location but we did struggle to get the space warm. We were very cold. - The location and views were really great The house was incredibly cold and we struggled to get it warm with the heaters.
- Davies (8/5): Very good -
- Jamie (8/5): Very good - The house was clean and tidy. It was very comfortable in the cold weather. The view from the house was awesome. Beds were very comfortable. Easy walk into town. The hot water didn't seem to last very long with 5 people.
- Big (8/5): Very good -
- Justine (10/5): Amazing - The location and view of the property was breathtaking! When we arrived, the heating was already on which is a plus. It was a cozy place, and the owner was quick to respond with our requests. Our overall experience was really good. Cheers! There was only one bath and toilet combined but it was clean and comfy. It would be nice to at least be separated. A bigger TV would also be nice, and more outlets or if not some extension cords.
- Bruce (5/5): Passable - Heater Wood heater non functional & no fire wood.
Access and signage is not good.
Toaster & TV had issues.
No dining table.
- Taufiq (10/5): Excellent. - Everything.
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Feng (9/5): Superb - Neat and centrally located.
- Faye (8/5): Great stay for 1 Night - We had everything we need..clean, complete kitchen appliances we can used ~ rice cooker, frying plan, crockpot, etc. Warm lounge and kitchen. Good internet connection. Wall panel heaters are useless, it needs to be replace with better ones, it doesn’t heat the bedrooms. The other single bed has no electric blanket and the wall heater is not working hence we have to bring up the other heater from downstairs. Everything else is good.
Needs a small dining table as an additional to the counter top.
The bread toaster needs cleaning too.
Tight driveway for our big SUV.
- Barbara (8/5): A nice House - Warm & Comfortable
Close to the Town Centre
Heaters in Bedrooms A couple of the Lights did not work
- Renata (10/5): Exceptional -
- William (8/5): quite good in general - no breakfast available, location is good good breakfast
- Olga (9/5): Great place with amazing view - Space, beds, apartment had everything you might need for your stay. Close enough to the vallage, easy to find, good walk, amazing view from balcony. nothing
- Chintan (8/5): Very good -
- Camilo (9/5): Great apartment with an awesome view and everything you need. - Great apartment with an awesome view and everything you need. Nothing, everything was good.
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Nice kitchen and deck
- Scott (8/5): Very good - Beautiful house, comfortable beds. Love the elevated views. Lots of room for people to relax, either inside or on the sun-drenched deck. Heat pump for cool/hot and the option of a fire. The shower......water pressure is poor and you end up scrunched in a corner trying to shower, in a big spacious modern bathroom!
And a new BBQ is required, it works but the holes in the gas burners cause issues cooking.
Tidy up all the rubbish under the house, not a good look
- Neil (8/5): Very good -
- Marilyn (8/5): We very much enjoyed our two nights in this house. - The house and the location were great. There were no cleaning products or cloths for the kitchen and the kitchen bench was greasy and needed to be cleaned. However, the response from the air b n b team when we called was very quick and efficient.
- Romana (10/5): Exceptional - It was super easy to find, had everything we needed for our weekend away!
- Takumi (8/5): Very good -
- Jennifer (8/5): Relaxed, clean, comfortable and quiet. - It was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Angela was very welcoming and helpful. Outdoor table and chairs on the west deck would have been very useful for dining, as would a dining table in the house. Found reversing down the driveway was a bit of a challenge and path access to house could be improved.
- Ann (7/5): Great location, quiet, spacious, games to play - Self contained, quiet , great location to walk to everything. Great deck area to view surrounds Need better quality tea/coffee etc. electric blanket down stairs not working. Needs some outdoor furniture.
Better signage/number of house and some lighting in driveway would be appreciated
- Jc (8/5): Lovely house with great views in a good location. - The house and the location were excellent. We loved the little pocket views and all the space of the house. It's very close to the restaurants, the Good Shepard and all that downtown offers. This will be a great base for your adventures in the area. They need some kind of sign that you are in the right place. This is behind another house, but it is very difficult to see and there are no #'s down by the road... you end up having to guess. The house was clean as in the cleaners did a good job, but it had a lot of issues that you will get from a management company overseeing the property. There was 1/2 roll of toilet paper for a family of 4 for 2 nights. Not the end of the world to have to buy toilet paper, but not really what you are expecting at close to $500 a night. The windows all needed to be cleaned... It just had the feeling of a home that could use a little extra love from the owners or the management company on top of the cleaning between turn overs. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.
- Karen (9/5): Amazing. Would come back, even with a bigger group. Lots of extrabeds available. There was only 4 of - Location great. Views fabulous. Reverse cycle aircond a bonus. Lots of NZ doesnt have this. Toilet seat needs replacing. It was stained. The rst of the house looked fresh.
- Murray (6/5): Pleasant - For what it was, ie a three bedroom house, it was very clean, super convenient and served us perfectly well. Location and cleanliness plus washing machine!
- Tom (9/5): Superb -
- Chris (9/5): Great place to stay. -
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- Divyank (2/5): Unpleasant - Nothing Very bad smell
- Wahidullah (10/5): absolutely amazing customer service, communication and assistance. - great location and views. fully stocked kitchen, very neat and tidy. we had mistakenly booked for the wrong night but were given amazing service and help to find another property in such short notice.
- Jacquie (9/5): Superb -
- Grey_geordie (7/5): Decent Stay in Tekapo - comfy beds, clean and tidy, plenty of amenities and toiletries quite difficult to find the property, driveway access for private parking is not for beginners
- Brijesh (5/5): Passable - The View. I had to reverse my way out from a down hill parking space which was narrow and dangerous. The bathrooms and toilets were outdated. Value for money was not there at all.
- Ning (10/5): Exceptional - Very good big house.
- Steve (7/5): Good -
- Katarzyna (9/5): Great location with beautiful view - Great location with beautiful view
- Bev (7/5): Good - Beautifully clean
Comfortable beds
The family games were a nice touch. The clean dishes were left in the dishwasher and not packed away .
Would have been nice to have a tumble dryer and a toilet upstairs.
The signage from the road is terrible.
- Chiu (8/5): Very good -
- Jennifer5010 (9/5): Superb -
- Hyerin (2/5): It was a little different to the advertisement - Location Not all the lights were working ..
- Anonymous (6/5): Pleasant -
- A (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (8/5): lareg property close to town with nice views from bedrooms - located on back section so a little -
- Chanphen (9/5): Clean. Good location close to everything - Booking.com It hard to fine the number of the house, the number should put on street to see.
- Damien (8/5): Very good -
- Kylie (8/5): Comfortable and warm house in a good location - Good location, walked to restaurants and cafes. House very comfortable and warm. Kitchen had everything we needed. Would’ve been better with a toilet upstairs or at least a toilet separate from the bathroom. Switch on one of the electric blankets on the double bed upstairs didn’t work. Basin in bathroom didn’t drain well. All minor things really though.
