My wife and I travel a lot and have stayed in self-contained accommodations in many countries. The New Zealand B&B tradition is the best and almost ensures a quality stay. The Designer Cabin did not disappoint. It is small, by design, but very well done. When we arrived, with groceries and luggage enough for many weeks, my first thought was “no closets, no pantry,” where do we put things? But, there were places for everything without cluttering up our living space. The bed was great, chairs were super comfortable, appliances the newest and best, TV as expected, and top-of-the line audio. The guest book had detailed instructions for everything. Hosts were terrific, even though we didn’t burden them with much other than checking in and out. We’ve stayed in Lake Tekapo several times, in another accommodation that has been swallowed up by development. We hope to return to Designer Cabin in future visits.
