Fabulously situated on foreshore of lake Tekapo. Very Well designed facility with everything one needs and more.
New ZealandSuperb guest service, the staff were amazing, friendly, and approachable. It was a breeze communicating with them, they even suggested a good place with yummy ramen. Our room and bathroom were very clean and spacious and the shower temperature was perfect. The view at the shared lounge was just spectacular as well. The shared kitchen was also very spacious and clean although we didn't get to use it. Probably will when we come back for another visit. Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants; we also thoroughly enjoyed our walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd.
