Lily Cottage was perfect for our stay in Lake Tekapo! Check-in was a breeze – Discover Tekapo’s staff was helpful and very friendly. The cottage itself was easy to locate and just as described (if not better!). It was also very clean, had a very nice bathroom and charming backyard space. Highly recommend!
