Though arriving at a later hour, the check-in was no problem due to a key-lock. The owners even welcomed us warmly on the following day after arrival and suggested some restaurants at the seafront of Lake Tekapo.
The accommodation was in a perfect, new-build, quiet location with a lovely view towards Lake Tekapo. The pictures on AirBnB do not show the actual size of the studio. It is huge and has an amazing bathroom with shower. Due to double-glazing, it is very warm and even if you have to use the heater during the winter months, it will keep the warmth. You will also find a lot of information about walks in that area in the studio.
The kitchen does not have any cooking-facilities, but it has got a microwave-oven and the owners even allow to have your own BBQ in the small garden in front of it (if the weather allows it). Continental breakfast, including cereals, milk, tea, coffe, sugar is privided upon arrival and definitely enough for 2 people.
Though we loved the apartment and will recommend it, there were, unfortunately, also 2 negative points: we had some issues connecting to the WiFi, especially during the evening times. We were also not impressed by the behaviour of the dog Lucy, who pressed her snout against the studio-entrance when she was in the garden-area and the owners had left the house. After closing the curtains, she started barking, whining, and scratching against the sliding-door of the studio-apartment.
