Couldn’t recommend more for a place to stay while visiting the lakes. It isn’t very far from Lake Pukaki & Tekapo, so we were able to make our day trips visiting there while staying here affordably. Rachel had the room nice and cozy for us with a space heater, everything we needed was provided (even some milk in the frig:)). Rachel helped us a lot with local hikes and food to try, which was much appreciated! She was very quick to reply to any messages. The location and hospitality here were perfect for our two day stop near Tekapo!
