IF YOU DON'T STAY HERE YOU'RE CRAZY!!! This place is unbelievable. Maybe the best view in Tekapo. We explored all around and didn't see anything with a view like this. You can actually see the steeple for the famous church. And you can walk to it and walk to town! View from the bathroom is awesome too. So many amazing touches: heated tile in the bathroom, separate bathroom heater, privacy tint in bathroom, heated carpet in the living area, power strips on both sides of the bed, mounted stereo system, an espresso machine and milk frother. The hosts were super nice and responsive. Met them on arrival and didn't see them again the whole time. The place is TOTALLY separate from theirs. It looks like it's right on top but it's actually 2 separate structures that don't touch. They even say in the house booklet not to worry about sound our showering late or anything. It was perfectly apportioned and no small detail was overlooked. I would have payed more!
