Julie is a very friendly, attentive, thoughtful host. She took care of everything we need during our two nights stay, nutritious breakfast (my kids love the homemade pancake with fruit jam, farm eggs, homemade yogurt is super yummy too!). We spent our quality time with kids at the winter night, playing legos, & some board games. Beds are equipped with heater, very comfy. We enjoyed our stay in Julie’s clean & beautiful cottage. You won’t want to miss it when you come to Lake Tekapo.
