Lake Tekapo Hotels with Breakfast

It's a single-story detached villa with a living room in the middle, complete with a fireplace (for charcoal) and a celestial telescope. Although we didn't use them, they created a wonderful ambiance. The rooms also have a quaint, antique feel. Every room in the villa is used as a guest room, and it is incredibly, incredibly clean. My reserved room had a lake view, but there was still some obstruction from the roof of the building in front. It was very convenient for stargazing; you could just slide open the door to the small backyard, or even go to the driveway in front of the main entrance, as there was no ground light. The bathroom was spacious, and check-in/check-out was entirely self-service, which was very flexible and convenient.
