    The afternoon sun made the room unbearably hot. The air conditioning was ineffective.

    The view from our room was good. Everything was clean.

    The temperature dipped unexpectedly and there was no blanket in the room to put on the bed or to use when sitting outside.

    Beautiful room in a beautiful location. The facilities were good and everything was very clean.

    Excellent overall. But a comment relative to many places is the lack of ability to open a window, instead of using the AC. It’s unsafe to leave the sliding door open at night.. so no option only to use the AC- even though at this time of year an open window would suffice.

    Location. ..facing the lake

    The manager was overbearing and I couldn’t get rid of him. There was a fire escape which he gave us instructions what to do in case of a fire but there was NO SMOKE ALARM in the room!!!

    The position and view was great.

    The furniture is a bit mismatched and outdated but still clean and very functional.

    Convenient location close to town. About a 20 min walk to the center of town, 5 min to the lake. Air conditioning available although did take some time to cool the room given the full glass windows and intense sun of New Zealand. The host is very easy to communicate with and friendly. There was free parking. The room was spacious and clean.

    The price, not at all private but if sitting outside

    Great location, friendly host, small room on side (garden view) parking 50m away from rooms. I know Lake Tekapo is very popular but I thought it was too pricey for what you get. Ok basic and clean.

    I need (for my work) cable tv. I missed that.

    Cozy, nice, clean room, very friendly staff. Rooms have coffee. Rooms have a view on the lake, some a bit less lake, but a lawn. It feels like you are in nature. Really nice.

    I was still figuring things out as I had just got off the plane, so having to use phone or Whatsapp to let the host know I was nearby was a tall ask. Luckily I was able to catch the host on property to let me check in!

    Super convenient location right next to Lake Tekapo. Trimmed grass field just next to the rooms for stargazing. Great to have AC in summer as well.
