what a neat place! so glad we decided not to stay in tekapo, and what a wee gem this turned out to be. easy access to twizel for good food and coffee, and Lake Pukaki and Aoraki for good outings, but just that little bit removed to have some space and peace. even though the weather didn't cooperate for star gazing, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed watching the skydiving planes take off and land right next door, and Peter was very friendly and helpful. thanks so much!
