Nic's place is great to stay if you're thinking of visiting Lake tekapo and the surrounding areas. It is reasonably priced for those who find the places around the lake expensive. Nic is very responsive and gave great instructions on how to get there (not that it was required as the place is easy to find). The place was really clean and had everything we expected. There are no laundry places in Fairlie so maybe that might factor into your plans. Otherwise one of the best places to stay.
