Brought some issues to the host’s attention that need repair or replacement.
The house was perfect. Slept my whole family, conveniently located in town. Loved having use of a washing machine, didn’t mind there wasn’t a dryer. Reminded me of how my grandparents used to do laundry..highly recommend staying here!

Lake Tekapo
The house was nice and close to town. Some of the bedrooms were very cold because the heater was in the hallway, so they never got warm. Overall, it was a good stay for a party of 8 because we had a table we could play games at in the evening and hang out together.

Spotless, well appointed and great location
This Bach has everything you need for a short or long stay, very comfy beds and well equipped. 10min picturesque walk into town that is set right on lake, with a diverse range of cafes, bars and restaurants. Excellent location for day trips and lots of local activities.
