Magnificent is the word I would use to describe the view from the patio. It was so beautiful that my daughter decided to read on the patio in winter while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The accommodation is a few minutes' drive from food establishments and major touristy areas. We could park the car with the boot facing the entrance to the unit. The suite is well-appointed - clean bathroom, kitchenette etc. There is also a nice fireplace that can keep the room very warm at night. The Mackenzie Suite is in a Dark Sky reserve and the perfect place to stay if you are interested in booking an activity to see stars. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously. My only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer.

Nothing that we didn't like. The stay was wonderful.

We stayed in the mobility accessible "barn" suite which was really comfortable with some thoughtful extras like underfloor heating in the bathroom, kitchen staples like oil and salt and pepper, useful kitchen utensils, decent sized tv, a lounge, table and chairs to eat meals, curtains for windows and sliding door, sliding doors that closed off the bedroom, and a comfortable front deck with lounges to take in the stunning lake view. It was only a 10 minute walk to the lakefront main service centre shops and also provided parking.

Accommodation is great with big sliding doors looking out onto the lake and hills beyond. Increadible blue colour of the water. Really spacious bathroom and geat kitchen set up with large living room space and seperate bedroom. Great base to explore the many local things (Mount Cook, Climbing to obervatory at Mt St John, soaking in Tekapo springs and watching the stars at night - either from the Good Shepherd Church or by walking 5 mins from the apartment and finding a spot to enjoy the sky. Easy walk into town with some great food available.

Extremely comfortable apartment with modern facilities and amazing views out over Lake Tekapo. Our hosts were super friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. The weather was freezing but nonetheless the apartment was very warm. We had heavy snow overnight and the next day Ivan was out there clearing the driveway, and at the same time relaxed about our departure time.

Everything was great, can't think of anything. A couple minutes drive out of town such that it would be difficult if you were mobility impaired and wanted to walk into town, and not super well lit due to dark skies project.

I was blown away by this place. I'm starting to realise that NZ just does hospitality really well. Even so, this little apartment exceeded all my expectations. It had everything you'd want. Plus a lake view with patio and comfy seats. We even had two ducks on the patio to greet us! Sadly for them we didn't have any bread (or sensible duck food!) so they soon left us alone. The host was super nice and helpful with her greeting and tips on restaurants. The Ramen place was brilliant by the way. I would highly recommend this accom for Lake Tekapo visitors.

The view was phenomenal. Lake Tekapo is gorgeous. The lady and her 2 dogs that met us were so friendly. The room was so clean, spacious and modern. I loved that the furniture wasn’t cheaply made chipboard or mdf. The bathroom was perfect and loved the heated flooring & open shower as well as the abundant fluffy towels. The town had so many restaurants to choose from. The property had a book made about the town, its history and things in the area you can do plus the restaurants. Lovely idea. Loved the milk in the fridge. Everything was thoughtfully planned for us. An absolutely perfect experience. Thank you.

Perhaps a queen size bed would be a more comfortable size as my hubster occupied most of the bed. The sheets and blanketing were so soft.

OMG you couldn't get a better view over Lake Tekapo, or a cuter unit. It was small but very comfortable with a fun scene on the bedroom walls. The underfloor heating in the bathroom was greatly appreciated. We were super impressed by the friendly greeting we received and blown away that the host showed us through the room and made sure we knew where everything was and how to call for help if we had any problems.

This is a must - spectacular views, ease of access to awesome cafes, bars and quaint shops - and so much more to see and do. We thought we were going to be rained in with deep night sky observing, Mt Cook and Horse trekking off the cards but the double sided gas fireplace between lounge and bedroom, candles and comfy rugs on the couch as well as a stunningly deep bath turned it into a quiet retreat. A day of sudden snow made it a delightful winter wonderland to snuggle into with a bottle of red and a Prime Tv movie marathon.

nothing to say here

The location was fantastic, it was perched on a hill overlooking the lake. Outstanding views and the accommodation host was very friendly with lots off of suggestions for us to consider. The room was clean, and well appointed. In short, it was perfect for us.

We had the end unit and parking was a little awkward. It’s not an issue as we consulted our neighbours before parking in front of their unit.

This place is an amazing and immaculate accommodation with a charming fireplace and beautifully curated decor! 🏔️🌏✨ The owner provided us with attentive guidance and shared the secret spot 🙏🏻where we could enjoy stargazing. Despite the cloudy weather that almost dampened our spirits, thanks to the owner, we were able to witness the beauty of the stars :) Moreover, she even provided us with a flashlight help us find our way in the darkness 🔦 ✨We are incredibly grateful, and even though we came from Australia, we will definitely come back. This is truly the best accommodation in NZ🏡🥰
