8.4/10 Very Good! (447 reviews)
Clean. Had everything we needed. Bathroom big enough. Good towels. Comfy bed. Glass sliding door to unit, would be helpful to have screen door as a hot afternoon felt a bit exposed leavings door wide open. Quiet, even though on main road. Short drive to pubs and bakery. Would recommend.

Great house, very warm and cozy, great location. Beds a bit hard after skiing, but that may be due to age (of people!).

Nice quiet town. Friendly people. Good shops. Best pies ever at the Bakehouse bakery. Close to Tekapo springs and much nicer to stay than commercialised Tekapo, which at the time was undergoing lakefront construction work.
