We loved the spacious spa pool in a private corner of the garden. The house is very clean and well equipped with modern amenities, and very cosy with both a heat pump and a pot belly wood stove. Fantastic shower too. It's a lovely rural location near the mountains, Tekapo and Mt Dobson. Burke's Pass village is itself quite interesting and historical. The house is about 70 metres back from the highway but it's insulated well enough that the traffic noise isn't prominent.
