We enjoyed a super cozy stay in Lake Tekapo. There is construction around the area, which does seem to minimize views of the Lake, but we didn't experience any noise issues. It's pretty accessible to everything in the area, although a car is helpful, as it's tucked in the back corner of a nice neighborhood off the main road. We enjoyed the getaway feel of the small cabin, but it is very close quarters, so be comfortable with the ones your sharing the space with! It's very clean, nicely designed, with simple furniture.
