Emily & Jared Simcox own and manage Lake Tekapo Holiday Homes with the help of their fantastic multi-cultural staff. They love the Mackenzie Region for it's clear air, stunning landscapes and great fishing!

Smithy's is a beautifully refurbished home; warm and cosy with a lovely framed view of the lake, especially from the sunny master bedroom upstairs. Ideal for a family or two couples there are three bedrooms comprising the upstairs queen bed, downstairs king bed and a bunkroom with a king single bunk set. An adjacent bathroom with shower and toilet is located on each floor. There is a modern kitchen, dining area, lounge and snug with a fantastic log burner and heat pump. A separate laundry room is available for your convenience. The garden is beautiful, the perfect spot to sit outside and enjoy the sun and surroundings. Very close by there is also a children's play park to keep young ones amused. Smithy's is located in the original Tekapo village area and is just a ten minute walk to the shops. N.B. Holiday Homes are different from hotels. We supply linen and towels for each guest, however the houses (rooms) are not serviced. There are laundry facilities in most houses. 2.75% credit card surcharge applies to all credit card payments.

The tiny village of Lake Tekapo is renowned for its extraordinary starlit night skies, stunning turquoise lake and majestic mountain ranges. You can enjoy winter skiing & skating, summer swimming in the pristine lake, all year round star-gazing, fishing, hiking, soaking in the hot springs, golf and generally relaxing in the tranquil environment. A day trip to Mt Cook (New Zealand's highest mountain) is a must.
