My family of four wanted to do the hooker valley trail and this place served as the perfect location for us as our base. walking distance to the amenities and only a short distance drive to hooker valley and lake tekapo. Not to mention it is also close to high country salmon farm if you are interested in fresh salmon sashimi! The retreat is clean and spacious. the kitchen facilities are very well equipped so it's perfect for family cooking too. Amy is so responsive and she literally replied to all my request within 5 mins. would definitely want to come again!
