"Key lock is scratched and could not read it well, bed really comfortable, need a few more kitchen items, couch uncomfortable. Very nice little unit"

Lot 7 - Studios & Apartments

8/10 Good

"It is ridiculous that hotels.com forces a review !"

Lake Vista | Cozy 1BR Near Lake Tekapo

8/10 Good

"This is a great location as it's just across the road from shops and an easy 5 min walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd. The room was clean and cozy, although it seems to be next to the laundry so you can hear the staff talking and working as they did the laundry and hear the machines going. They usually only start from around 8am until early evening, but if you're a bit sensitive to noise, this might not be ideal. The kettle was also broken although the owner apologised. The driveway and parking for this particular room can be a bit steep, so it's not ideal for people who have issues with walking, etc. But there are other rooms you can book on this property that are more accessible."
