Jo's was a great place for our dogs, as many other reviewers have noted. We had no issues with the place. One thing I was surprised about was how well we could see the stars at night, without leaving the house. I know Tekapo had very dark skies, but I didn't expect that I could turn off all the lights in the house and just look out the lounge window. If it's warm enough or you have enough layers, you can sit on the deck and see even more.
