9.4/10
Amazing
GGuest UserThis apartment is the most satisfying place on this trip. It can be said to be amazing. First of all, all the equipment is available, just like going home. Then the apartment is incredibly large. The living room and kitchen are so big that you can do somersaults. The equipment is very new and clean. The kitchen is equipped with all possible supplies. The scenery here is also great. You can see the lake from the living room. There are two super large balconies. Our family of three lives in two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a small farm not far away where you can pet animals. It takes only a few minutes to drive to the town center. In short, everything is perfect, but it’s a pity that we only stayed for one night. Facilities: Everything is available. The first thing we did when we arrived was to wash and dry clothes. It’s so convenient. The heating is also super comfortable, the bathroom is brand new and clean, the kitchen appliances are very complete, and there is free milk. Hygiene: Very clean Environment: Facing Lake Tekapo, beautiful scenery Service: Very good, the landlord introduced the house to us

Yyiyi0126Highly recommend! This place is really well-designed and beautiful. The room was clean, and it's super close to the Church of the Good Shepherd, just a short walk over the bridge to the town center. They have a laundry room, and the gentleman at the front desk was so thoughtful; he kindly helped us with change and showed us how to use the machines. Much appreciated! The Chinese stargazing tour picked us up right where the last picture was taken. The weather wasn't great when we went, but honestly, we saw more stars in the little courtyard behind the hotel than we did at the actual stargazing spot. We lucked out and got a room when someone checked out. I was initially worried that booking late meant we'd have a bad view, and there was a slight obstruction, but it really didn't bother us at all. Loved it! I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time.

Vvivianzhai_sgWe arrived late at night by car, and it was a bit tricky to find the location in the dark. We had to use walking navigation to finally get there. Aside from it being hard to locate at night, everything else was fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable, and all the family cooking facilities were fully equipped. You can park right in front of the door, which makes it perfect for family stays. The living room sofa is also a sofa bed, so it can accommodate more people. We'd definitely stay here again next time!

AAnonymous UserThe B&B's location is a bit far from the town center, making dining inconvenient! The house number was also hard to find, tucked away inside! Since it was self-check-in, I received an email saying my room was marked with a 'B' on the door, but I couldn't find it anywhere! It also mentioned a password lock on the wall, but there wasn't one! I finally found the main door, but the password didn't open the room door! I had to make multiple international calls to contact the host to get the correct password! After all that trouble, I finally checked in, but I didn't even have time to eat dinner because I had a star-gazing tour booked for the evening! It was a very unpleasant check-in experience! The mattresses in New Zealand B&Bs are generally very soft, especially the single beds, which are small and soft, making it easy to fall off when you turn over!

CClovercitaWe stayed at this Tekapo home and really enjoyed how spacious it is, especially with two separate living rooms — plenty of room for everyone to relax. The house comes with all the necessary amenities, which made the stay convenient and comfortable. However, a few cleanliness details could be improved. The dishwasher wasn’t clean and didn’t wash dishes properly, and the detergent compartment couldn’t close fully. We also noticed some areas, like the restroom ventilator, had layers of dust and hadn’t been cleaned well. Overall, the space and setup are great, but a bit more attention to cleaning and maintaining would make the experience much better.

AAnonymous UserOverall, it wasn't terrible, but it was definitely the worst place we stayed during our New Zealand trip. Tekapo is super popular, and even booking four months in advance for over a thousand dollars a night, this was the best we could get. If possible, book half a year ahead during the off-peak season. This property is a whole holiday home divided into three apartments (A, B, C) for rent. Apartment A faces the lake, which is more like a small pond, but it does have ducks and wild rabbits. The view is pretty average by New Zealand standards. It's also a 15-20 minute walk to the town center's Four Square supermarket, which can be tiring if you have a lot of luggage and no car. The soundproofing in the room is really bad; we had noisy neighbors all night. The most ridiculous thing is that there isn't a single usable table or chair inside the room. The only option is the outdoor patio furniture, but it was raining when we were there, so we couldn't use it anyway. Plus, the neighbors' kids were ill-mannered and stepped all over it, so I doubt anyone would want to eat there. Even more outrageous, the water pressure in the bathroom was almost nonexistent. You'd get better pressure from a garden hose! The bathroom itself is quite spacious, but that's pointless. The Wi-Fi is shared among the three apartments, and you have to stand in a specific spot in the room to get a good connection. Customer service communication is old-school email, but at least they reply once a day. The most chilling part was on check-out day: the key safe outside had been tampered with; someone had pressed the code. I distinctly remember scrambling the numbers. Oh well, luckily there was no key inside. If you can accept all these points, then this room is perfect for you.
