    It is a quiet, nice, and interesting unit with privacy. The outdoor tub is amazing. There is an adjacent unit that is very close, but posed no issues for us. The location is great and views are beautiful from the end of the driveway; overgrown...

    The property was just amazing! The view was stunning. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The host was so helpful and instructions easy. He had even the red the heater on before we got there so that just made our night!

    Very unique house and setting. Loved the little extras (tea coffee, salt, oil) and the kids loved the board games selection. Was a great book selection too (wish our stay was longer so I could have read some of these)

    Fantastic location. Hosts Simon and Kathy were there when we needed some help. How many hosts would shovel a driveway after a 20cm snowfall to help their guests drive away safely? It’s a beautiful house with a great fire, interesting decor and...

A modern take on the family holiday home, this award winning design features spectacular lake/mountain views and a fabulous heated outdoor cedar and stainless steel bath in a private garden setting just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. The outdoor bath has unbelievable views of the night sky and the beds and leather furniture are super comfortable. As owner / operators, we take great pride in sharing our knowledge of the Tekapo area and are happy to assist promptly if you have questions.
I live with my wife Kathy and our three teenage daughters between Pleasant Point and Tekapo. As a family we have many great memories travelling together and in the winter we can be found on any of the local surrounding ski fields. Tekapo is a special place for us and we hope you come to love it as much as we do.
It is a short walk to the shops/restaurants and a short drive to the Tekapo Springs Hot Pools and Ice Skating (In Winter). Roundhill ski field is also close by. A 20 minute drive or a half hour hike up Mount John offers panoramic views of Tekapo and the surrounding landscape.
