We had a wonderful few days at the Trout House and if we return to Lake Tekapo this is where I would want to stay again! The house is super warm with underfloor heating, all day sun and a roaring pellet fire. The uninterrupted view over the lake and mountains from all the living spaces and the large bedroom is just spectacular! The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay- fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds with nice linens, and plenty of space to spread out on great couches and bean bags. Water pressure int he shower was brilliant and everything was sparkly clean. The township, with a Four Square shopping market, and the trail around the lake are less than 5 minute easy walk. Highly recommend!!
