Don't hesitate, book Gaye's place if you're looking for the perfect hub to explore Lake Tekapo and Mount Cook! Communication with Gaye was great - she allowed us to check in early and the check in process was so easy. When we entered, our jaws literally dropped at the amazing view!! The place was sparkling clean and so sleek and modern. It was surprisingly spacious and very comfortable for a couple. We appreciated the amenities like coffee, tea, sugar, and milk. The bathroom had heated floors (which was amazing!) and heated towel racks. There is a working fireplace available but we weren't familiar with NZ fires so we didn't bother with that - the whole studio got really warm and cozy with the heater provided. We didn't want to leave the studio since we could stay warm and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake from inside!
The location is fantastic - it's in a quiet little neighborhood but just minutes away from the lake, restaurants, shops, and about an hour drive to Mount Cook. We only stayed for two days, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were sad to leave - it was definitely one of the best Air BnB's we've ever stayed at!
