Ruth's place is a well located place to stay in Lake Tekapo. It is on a quiet street, but is not far from the main sites of Tekapo. It is warm and comfortable with plenty of space for a family of five. The views from the balcony look to be good, but sadly, unseasonably cold and wet weather meant that we couldn't enjoy the balcony during our stay. But I have no doubt that on a fine evening it would be great to see the stars come out over the mountains in the background.
