Company info

We own and manage Lake Tekapo Holiday Homes in the stunning Mackenzie District of New Zealand and we look forward to showing you a warm high country welcome. All the properties we look after are privately owned by families who fell in love with the Mackenzie and have chosen to build a special retreat here. We are surrounded by majestic mountains and look out each day on the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo. At night we are constantly wowed by the incredible starry skies of the Aoraki International Dark Sky Reserve. Our homes and apartments are all professionally cleaned prior to guests' arrival by our fantastic team of housekeepers.

Property info

The Hideaway is a gorgeous brand new 2 bedroom cottage located in a friendly cul de sac in central Tekapo. Beautifully designed with colours to reflect the surroundings, you can relax inside or on the sunny deck just taking in the lake and mountain views. There is a queen bedroom and a twin, ideal for a couple wanting some extra space or for a small family. Please note it is not suitable for young children. A cosy log fire will keep you toasty in the winter while you curl up with a good book. The village and the church is just 10-15 minutes walk away. 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.

Neighborhood info

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.
