Well appointed rooms and good shower, hospitable and helpful hosts, good breakfast. No shared lounge area for guests, though the garden was available. A fair walk uphill from the restaurants. Good views of the lake from two of the bedrooms and the dining room, unfortunately the third bedroom doesn't have a view worth mentioning. Three of us stayed in the... More

Room was good and very cosy. Bed was very comfortable as were pillows. Bathroom was well appointed and overall a great place to stay. We had the cooked breakfast which was delicious along with the fresh fruit. Owners were lovely and know the area very well having farmed in the region for many years. Short walk to eating spots and... More

From the people we came across on our trip, not many stay in Tekapo. They should!!!!!! It is the most stunningly beautiful place which gives a sense of peace, making it very easy to relax. The rooms at Tekapo Heights are very comfortable and of substantial size, with a direct view of the lake through the sliding glass doors. Wonderfully... More

We had the pleasure to stay one night, our last in New Zealand in this lovely and homey place. The room was spotless and we really enjoyed the chance to say "hi" to their two sweet dogs and a friendly cat- they stayed outside, no worries! But their little faces came to the door now and then and waited for... More

We spent our last night in New Zealand at Tekapo Heights and it didn't disappoint in any way, even after staying at several other great places over the previous couple of weeks. This is a lovely big modern house in a great position high over the town, with views down to the lake. We were in the Southern Cross room... More

I booked this place based on reading reviews like these and was stoked to find it was exactly as described: nice and clean, peaceful, and great location! The view was a great surprise, and they have set up an outside lounge area that is perfect for enjoying it. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and have great knowledge of the area.... More

Couldn't ask for more...very comfortable with everything you might need, followed up with an excellent breakfast looking out of the window at a beautiful view. We were only passing through Tekapo but wished we could stay longer in this B&B as Steve and Jenny's home was very spacious and the large picture windows gave magnificent views of boththe night sky...

This Guest House is in an awesome location with a magniificent view. The hosts Steve and Jenny were lovely - welcoming and very helpful. We arrived in Lake Tekapo on a particularly hot day and our room had no fan, air-conditoner or cross ventilation through the house and so was quite uncomfortable. It was also really too small for a... More

I stayed at this property for 2 nights in early nov this year. Best part about this place is the location, especially the room with lake tekapo view, it snowed while we were there which was magical, snow capped mountains all around you, the only thing lacking in this term was that the bathroom was not attached, though it was...
