Designer Cabin

This contemporary cabin is just a stones throw from the lakefront, yet private and sheltered among established trees.  Enjoy creating meals in the full ‘chef’s’ kitchen complete with quality appliances and cookware, including a Nespresso coffee machine.  Or choose to barbecue in the outdoor living space, followed by star-gazing from the comfort of the outdoor bathtub!

The cosy lounge is the perfect spot to settle in front of a movie after a day exploring (Netflix available with your own account), or relax in front of the fire listening to the wireless music system (Bluetooth, USB capable).   And at the end of the day, sleep peacefully in the comfort of the luxurious king bed.  Positioned to capture all day sun, just a 5 min stroll over the footbridge into the village centre, Designer Cabin is the perfect place for all seasons.

Standard nightly rates:

  • from $370 for 1-2 guests, depending on season
  • non-mobile babies are welcome, free in a port-a-cot (available for hire @ $10/stay)
  • linen, towels and cleaning included

2 NIGHT MINIMUM STAY – this may increase during peak periods. One night stay requests may be accepted depending on availability, and would incur a surcharge.  Discounts may be also available for extended or repeat stays. Enquire now >>

Lakeside location

Past guests say ...

This is the second time we’ve stayed here…we plan to come back again…that should say it all!!!  Great location.
Loved the cosy fireplace and we cooked all our meals on the BBQ.
Kitchen is very well equipped …plenty of coffee pods supplied for those addicted to caffeine as I am.
Stars on a clear night are amazing viewing.
Highly recommended! Don’t go past this one.

Marco – May 2025

Can’t fault our stay at the Designer Cabin, Lake Tekapo. Apart from being front and centre for the incredible starlit sky, the modern and cosy design made our stay very comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommend.

Tiarne – May 2025

Great location! Clean, comfortable, and quiet. Every centimeter/inch is well-thought out in this amazing space. Best for two people. Wish we had stayed a few more days. We would love to return to this charming place. Thank you.

Lela – Mar 2025

The location of the accommodation was private and the bed was very comfortable. The Good Shepherd Church is within a 2-minute walk and the weather was nice so I saw the stars. I came here for my honeymoon and it was an unforgettable memory. I highly recommend it.

연희 – Feb 2025

My girlfriend and I had the best time at this Lake Tekapo gem. We kept finding ourselves commenting on how thoughtfully designed the space was. We loved cooking in the kitchen and on the BBQ and the wood fired stove made for the perfect cozy treat.
The famous church and lupins are just down the driveway, and grocery stores / town was within walking distance.
Hosts gave us an abundance of recs on how to spend our time in the town and we had a great time! Would stay here again 🙂

Edmund – Nov 2024

Fabulous chalet in a fantastic location. We had a foot of snow fall unseasonably but the chalet was so cosy with an amazing log fire and tons of wood, so we were in no way put out. Interior is very chic and so well equipped. Perfect for two exploring magnificent Lake Tekapo and the surrounding area.
