The property was lovely inside and out and better than the photos suggested. The driveway was a bit steep and narrow and the property might be hard to access if you had a big vehicle as it is located behind another house but well worth the stay

The house was lovely and two of the rooms had mountain views. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was large.
It would be great if a lock box was used instead of having to go to an office to get the keys. This would give travellers more flexibility on the time they arrive.

Spacious and with good view.
It was clean and spacious. There was lake view from the bedrooms, awesome. Check in office is far away, but the instructions is limited. That made us waste nearly an hour to find it.

Normal condition and reasonable. Not easy to find the actual location. The house is behind the another resident's house. There is a foot bath or said a small drive way to access.

Perfect in lake tekapo
One of the best. If you are ever going to lake Tekapo, u must stay in this hotel.
It is just too good to be true.
If there is only one thing you need to speak about,that is the location. It is behind another house, it is very difficult to find.

Accommodation was great. Lacked a lot of presentation and finer touches.
Only 2 pieces of dry wood in the house. Plenty of other wood outside that was wet and in the snow.
Grass was 300mm long around the house.
No soap or hair products.
