“Fantastic location. Hosts Simon and Kathy were there when we needed some help. How many hosts would shovel a driveway after a 20cm snowfall to help their guests drive away safely? It’s a beautiful house with a great fire, interesting decor and...”

A modern take on the family holiday home, this award winning design features spectacular lake/mountain views and a fabulous heated outdoor cedar and stainless steel bath in a private garden setting just a few minutes walk from the centre of town. The outdoor bath has unbelievable views of the night sky and the beds and leather furniture are super comfortable. As owner / operators, we take great pride in sharing our knowledge of the Tekapo area and are happy to assist promptly if you have questions.
I live with my wife Kathy and our three teenage daughters between Pleasant Point and Tekapo. As a family we have many great memories travelling together and in the winter we can be found on any of the local surrounding ski fields. Tekapo is a special place for us and we hope you come to love it as much as we do.
It is a short walk to the shops/restaurants and a short drive to the Tekapo Springs Hot Pools and Ice Skating (In Winter). Roundhill ski field is also close by. A 20 minute drive or a half hour hike up Mount John offers panoramic views of Tekapo and the surrounding landscape.
