The property was very clean and 1 mins walk to the lake and 5 mins walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd. The backyard provides a great spot to stargaze at night but during summer, insect repellent is a must given the bugs outside. Overall it was a good experience. Check-in was not a big issue as their office is easy to find and quite nearby to the property. They were very friendly, giving us a map of Tekapo which we found handy.
