High Country Retreat
This modern studio is a cosy and comfortable alternative to a hotel, perfect for a night or two at beautiful Lake Tekapo. With its own private entrance and patio, High Country Retreat offers a peaceful space to relax and enjoy the surrounding alpine environment. Step outside onto the private patio and soak up the tranquility of the setting. In summer, you may catch glimpses of Lake Tekapo through the established trees, while autumn brings beautiful colour to the garden. During winter, when the trees are bare, you’ll enjoy more expansive views across to the lake and surrounding mountains. The studio is thoughtfully equipped for a short stay, with a kettle, toaster and mini-fridge for preparing simple breakfasts, snacks and drinks. A heat pump keeps the space warm during the cooler months and provides cooling on warmer summer days.
When you’re ready to head out, the village centre is approximately a 20-minute walk away, with a selection of local cafés and restaurants to enjoy. A great choice for couples or solo travelers looking for a short escape, this cosy studio provides a comfortable base from which to experience Tekapo’s natural beauty, local eateries and spectacular alpine surroundings.

Really lovely studio in a beautifully peaceful location with a modern and high quality interior. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets felt soft, the shower was large and strong. There was a little coffee area with a toaster, microwave and sink as well. Short walking track straight down to the lakefront. Would definitely recommend staying here to visit lake Tekapo!

Great room and location to explore Lake Tekapo and surrounds. The room is larger than we expected with plenty of space for parking and storage as well. The whole check-in/check-out process is very easy with the friendly happy to provide advice on good sites to visit, and good food in the area. Highly recommend!
