    “짐 맡겨두려고 갔는데 좀 더 일찍 체크인 해주어서 좋았음. 사무실에서 숙소까지 짐 실어서 차로 데려다줌. 걸을 수 있는 거리지만 짐이 무겁다면 약간의 언덕을 지나 돌아가야해서 힘듬. 걸어서 마트나 교회 가기에 멀지않음. 시설도 독채라는점이 아주 좋음. 전자렌지 인덕션이 있어 조리하기 좋고 그릇도 종류별로 많고 수저나 주방도구도 다 있어서 좋긴한데 너무 오래돼서 따로챙겨간 수세미로 설거지 한번씩 다 하고 사용했음. 침대마다 전기장판이 있음....”

All the properties we look after are privately owned by families who fell in love with the Mackenzie and have chosen to build a special retreat here (including us!). We are surrounded by majestic mountains and look out each day on the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo.
