We picked Jo's place because it was near Lake Tekapo and we had a difficult time finding accomodation near Tekapo at the time. Jo's place was a really nice self contained studio with all the right amenities. You can easily see the starry sky on a clear night. We never got to connect to the WiFi but since we had a local sim card it did not put too much of a damper on our stay. It is pretty remote so it is very quiet and peaceful all the time. The place was also very clean.
