Barb and Steve's place is cozy and comfortable and Barb is a wonderful and very welcoming host. We were very comfortable and warm on a cold winter's night and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, star gazing and farmland. We had a lovely breakfast and conversation with Barb in the morning and found our whole stay to be just what we were hoping for. Would highly recommend for anyone wishing a lovely time in the country but with easy access to Lake Tekapo.
