Past guests say ...

Love the toys in the room, kids had fun there and the view was stunning! Can’t be better.

Penny – Nov 2023

We had a fabulous stay in Lake Tekapo! The accommodation was spacious, clean and looked just like the photos. The kitchen was well equipped and it was lovely to have shared family meals inside and out on the deck overlooking the lake and hillside. There were also lots of board games to keep you entertained in the evening. Great stay!

Jessica – Nov 2023

We loved our stay, spacious, warm, great deck outside, lots of toys for the children to play with, great laundry facilities, great location, comfy beds.

Rachel – Mar 2023

Great location and fabulous selection of toys and activities for kids and kids at heart. Nice to have a cot for the baby set up. Warm house. Great house to easily accommodate 2 families.

Fraser – Oct 2021

Stunning views & facilities. We were a group of 12 adults & needed spacious well equipped accommodation for a variety of ages. Great kitchen, seating for all. And the toaster was a source of entertainment!
Table tennis, books, games, great showers with plenty of hot water for all. And the view!

Kim – Feb 2023

This was such an awesome accommodation. We weren’t expecting it to be so well kitted out for children. There were books, board games, toys, table tennis in the garage – my daughter loved the children’s bedroom as well. Awesome view of Lake Tekapo from the backyard. This is going to be our go-to destination whenever we visit again.
