D’Archiac Cottage is a well designed, sunny house with a large deck from which to catch the sunset over Mount Sefton and the mountains surrounding Lake Tekapo.
The modern open plan living and kitchen is wonderful for being together, kept cosy by a wood fire and heat pump, and cool in the summer with fans and large doors opening to the verandah.
The four spacious bedrooms and three bathroom spaces cater perfectly to a group, with a large main bathroom (shower, toilet, basin), plus an additional shower and toilet.
The verandah is a lovely spot for summer evenings or catching the warmth of the winter sun while enjoying the vistas. With a front yard great for outdoor games, there is also a children’s playground and large park just across the road. A large drying room provides storage for ski gear in winter and water gear in summer, along with the ease of a full laundry. The covered carport means no frosty windows in the morning and there is plenty of additional parking on site for a boat or extra vehicles.
Just a 5 minute walk above the lakefront and village centre supermarket, bars, restaurants, cafes and takeaway options. Also nearby is the Cairns Golf Course, canals for fishing and a myriad of walkways.
By prior agreement this pet-friendly house welcomes well-behaved dogs, so your whole family can enjoy the break (not fenced). See our FAQ’s for more details.

Great spot to stay. A very short (<5min) down the road to supermarket, playground, cafes, shops and restaurants. It was set back a bit in a quiet peaceful area. Would definitely recommend for any hikers or families touring the area.

Great place to stay in Tekapo, only a couple minutes walk from the town’s main road where you can find everything you’d need during your stay. The house is separated from surrounding houses by the hill and has incredible panoramic views of the alps from the patio.
