I liked everything about the property, the view of Tekapo was absolutely stunning! My family and I spend most of our stay at the lounge as we sat and gazed at the marvelous view. The house was neat, clean and tidy, very impressed by how modern the house is too! Vic (the host) was very helpful to speak to on the phone, calm and composed when I got stuck in the situation during the early hours of the morning. Thank you so much :)

The apartment was well set out and comfortable. We loved the way the bedroom and bathroom were partitioned off and were not in view if setting in the lounge or the kitchen. Loved loved the view which was the main attraction for selecting this address.
