Lake houses in Lake Tekapo

We made a huge mistake when only booking this place for part of our stay. My thought was to jump around the South Island with my family at a couple stops. Had I known it was this awesome, then I would’ve booked our whole time at Anna’s. This place is exactly what my family loves. The kids will definitely be complaining about where we stay next. This property is AWESOME.

Loved our stay here. Super convenient location with lake view. Sally was really responsive and friendly as well, thanks for the amazing stay!

Loved our stay. The Black House was cozy, comfortable and warm. The perfect spot for us to relax and unwind. Close to the lakefront but away from the bustle. The outdoor tub was a great ammenity. Beds were super comfortable and the house was spotless. The fire made a cold rainy evening cozy and relaxing. The host provided heaps of useful information and recommendations. Highly recommend!!

This place is amazing! We loved our stay, the place is very well equipped, and nicely decorated. The environment is very peaceful and we loved the Lake Ohau. Would love to stay there again.

The neighbourhood is very peaceful, the house has all that’s listed. Thanks for hosting!

We absolutely loved staying at Jan’s place. Such a great location, with so many places nearby to visit. One day we visited Oamaru and the next Mt Cook. The geological sites near Kurow-Duntroon were amazing. The lakes are gorgeous, I only wish I brought my bike with me. Our dog also loved Jan’s place as she was safe and secure in the fully fenced gorgeous garden.

This is the place brings you peaceful mind. Will definitely bring back my parents here next time. It's so quiet and private that you can only hear the birds chirping. It's like the real-life ASMR that can calm you down. I really like all the facilities that keep guests stay warm. For example, the cap in the shower room, heating pad for every bed, and aircon is also available. Also we had several animal visitors like bunnies and a cat. Very nice and cute.

It was more than I expected!It was truly amazing! The room is exactly as pictured, clean and fully equipped.Especially enjoyed the view of the garden outside the floor to ceiling windows and the wood-fired fireplace inside. The host communicated the check-in guide in advance and was responsive with questions. My favorite stay for this trip, I will choose again next time I come here, and I will recommend friends.

This place has the most incredible view with the lake and the mountains as the backdrop. It is almost like a painting! I will come back any day for the view. The cottage itself is spacious and comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped and little details from the host like a pack of biscuits, premix coffee and wine - was very welcoming. The outdoor gardens and sitout are lovely. And pics don’t do justice. If you are reading this review, go book and experience it. Very lucky to have found this place in Tekapo. Restaurants are close by and we had a memorable dinner at Blue Lake. One point to note is that this place doesn’t have a dish washer. We didn’t bother much about it as the view from the kitchen is lovely too:)

Gaye was friendly and responsive. We arrived early and he was flexible and allowed us to check in early. This was our last night before heading back to Christchurch. It was a restful stay.

Great location with views of Lake Middleton from the lounge and 1 bedroom. Loved all the decor touches to make the cottage live up to it's "Snowshoe" name. Perfectly clean and entry was simple (even in the dark) when we arrived. Even though we had a lot of rain during our stay, the washing machine and dryer meant we weren't impeeded - just as easy as being at home. Fully equipped kitchen. Would love to stay again when we are back in the Aoraki region!

Couldn’t recommend high enough. The perfect cottage, every detail is thought out, the beds are incredibly comfortable. We could have easily stayed longer. Thank you Jana!!

Jennifer's place is in a great location. Twizel is a lovely town with fantastic views of the mountains and stars. The property itself is a stone's throw from town centre with decent supermarkets and restaurants. The house is small but cosy and had most of what you need for a comfortable stay. The bed in particular was very comfortable. Jennifer was easy to communicate with and we had no issues during our 1-week stay. A few things to note: 1) It was not an issue for us but the bathroom is quite small. For reference I'm 165cm and my knees are near the wall when sitting on the toilet. 2) The two skylights in the room offer beautiful views of the milky way in the comfort (i.e. warmth) of your room at night, and also functions as an effective alarm clock in the morning 😂 3) Some of the cooking utensils are quite worn out. You can probably request for replacements from Jennifer but we decided to simply make do with the other appliances available, which worked out well!

Absolutely loved our stay! The property itself was beautifully designed and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay such as food, coffee, board games, telescopes to stargaze, e-bikes, fishing rods, etc! Gary definitely went above and beyond to think about the guests’ stay. He was also very helpful and responsive. My partner and I had such an amazing time stargazing and it was an unforgettable stay. Our only regret is not booking more nights!

David is a super host - check in was super easy. Beautifully kept place, peaceful and private with great views of Lake Tekapo and the stars! 5 stars - recommend highly.

Beauly cottage is a very peaceful tranquil and pretty place to stay. It is perfectly appointed and has everything you might need for a comfortable stay. I will definitely stay again if I'm in the area

Super cozy and comfortable, we loved staying here during our trip. It was really spacious and well decorated, pretty much exactly like the photos. It's not too far of a drive to Lake Tekapo and the pies in town were amazing.

A group of girlfriends had the best weekend here. So cozy and well catered for and we will be back very soon x absolutely loved it thanks 🙏

Wow I don't even know where to begin. Lou and Dion were so warm and welcomed us into their house (which is situated on the farm). The highlight of our stay was the farm tour. Highly recommended for BOTH kids and adults. It's a separate fee of 250nzd at our time of stay and it was well worth it. Dion took us up to his farm up on his 4WD and we went up the mountains where the views are unparalleled and we could get up close and personal with the cows, sheeps, and his sheepdog as well. He shared personal experiences as well as interesting facts about the farm. This beats and commercial stay or visit to a farm. Lou was also very welcoming and helped us with everything we needed. We met with a situation where our car was in a ditch and Lou was so kind to send her nephews Isaac and Hamish to help tow us out of the situation. My family is extremely grateful for their help and hospitality. If you're visiting lake tekapo or any of the surroundings, just stay here already!

Great host. Great home in a beautiful spot.

Great house having enough beds for 6 singles to not have to share. Very warm with the fire going. Lovely comfortable clean & tidy house/section. Thanks for having us to stay.

Tracy's place is such a peaceful location with great views of the mountains. Everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. We thoroughly recommend to other guests.

Nice place, all as described!

This property was the perfect base to explore the local area, and a fantastic space for all the family. The house is incredible and the space is well designed.
