Ian’s place was such a treat! Though we had Lake Tekapo penciled in for stargazing, we actually got better views at Ian’s house, made better by the lounge chairs set outside the private entrance. The room itself is incredibly spacious (much larger than any other Airbnb we stayed in NZ), and the views are unparalleled. It has all the amenities you’d expect, and the shower in particular was very nice. Ian even invited us for a wine tasting right after we arrived in the late afternoon, and graciously chatted with us for quite awhile about the history of their venture and local recommendations. We felt right at home, and when you’re on holiday, that’s one of the best feelings to have. A phenomenal stay!
