    Very comfortable & quiet spot w/very good wifi. You can even check out their sheeps in the morning. About a 20 min. drive east of Tekapo on the way back to Christchurch at about ½ the price of staying in Tekapo.

    Phil is very friendly and helpful. The place is large and clean with rustic charm. Easy to relax in. Lake Tekapo is a short drive. Quaint church across the street as well as Three Creeks.

    Megan and her family are really welcoming and it’s evident they care about each guest. They have a lovely garden and sheep on the property which make it feel much less like a motel and more like a country house stay.
