The house is convenient for lake tekapo and pukaki, but there are some factors that detract from it— the bed mattresses are inflatable, so they’re not comfortable. Also, even though the property is listed as entire house, you can only use three rooms, so be careful with that as it is not advertised properly. Lastly, we had an uncomfortable encounter where the host came to visit unannounced, and came in kind of inspecting the rooms etc while we were having our family time. Overall, it is convenient and has good views but would not say it was stellar.
