Sam is very friendly to kids and a fast- responded host. Once we arrived at his premise, his alpacas greeted us first. Kids are very excited to see the alpacas. After showing us around his house, the kids straight away rush out to feed the alpacas and the eels. A good memory and experience for my kids. When we were out for dinner, and there is a sudden change of weather, Sam alerted us and warned us. I think this is an extra thing that not all host will do. We left a power bank at Sam’s place after check-out and he offered to send us back the power bank. It is very kind of him to offer this to us even though at the end we still go back to his place to collect it by ourselves. Even though Sam’s Place is a little far from Lake Tekapo, but I would still recommend his place to other people who would like to have some other different experience
