    Past guests say …

    We really enjoyed our stay in Lake Tekapo which was made all the better by this beautiful home. The house was equipped with whatever appliances we needed and was very neat and tidy. It was in close proximity to the lake and we had a great view of it. It’s also secluded enough for star gazing on a good night and we even managed to see the Milky Way from the back porch!

    Sameerah – June 2024

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Number 8! We were running late, so they arranged a drop box key pickup at the house. Everything was spotless and very comfortable, the shower pressure was very good! We were misted in most of the time but when we had views they were spectacular. Would highly recommend.

    Lisa – May 2024

    This was the second time we stayed here and we will be back again! Beautiful home with amazing views – you won’t find a better spot for a relaxing weekend away. Spacious and beautifully decorated, this house feels like a holiday home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    Gergard – Nov 2023

    Absolutely amazing house with stunning views. Great outdoor patio space and grill for cooking! Would definitely stay here again!

    Jennifer – Nov 2023

    Sitting outside in the late afternoon sun with a cold drink and taking in the view down Lake Tekapo. Magic. Two lounge areas either side of the kitchen – both with TV’s. Full kitchen facilities. Responsiveness of property managers. Great to take our Labrador – she enjoyed the big screen “rabbit vision” going on outside.

    Steve – Dec 2021

    Such a lovely home with a superb view thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. It had a lovely toy box filled with toys which made my daughter very happy. Huge and clean rooms. Good water pressure. The kitchen was well equipped. Nothing to complain about, everything was superb!
