We have stayed in Alpine cottage, which is fully self-contained and we are enjoyed the whole stay. The kitchen is fully equipped, even have more than our home and every thing is prefect for our stay. Although it is a little bit far from Lake Tekapo (around 2 mins drive) and it seems to be farer as we went out... More

Pete and Jill Maxwell made us most welcome at the Alpine vista - we were taking our kids and grandchild on a trip round South Island and everyone was very impressed with the whole experience at Lake Tekapo and especially with the lovely accommodation More

We stayed for one night at the end of our honeymoon in New Zealand in February 2011. After the hustle and bustle of Dunedin (we had to change our plans as Christchurch was no longer an option due to the earthquake), Lake Tekapo was a welcome last stay. We loved the tranquility of the place and the B&B really does... More

We stayed in the Macauley room - spacious, immaculately clean, lovely bathroom. The breakfast was great - fabulous home made jams and conserves. The hosts invited us for a wine and nibbles to meet the other guests - a lovely touch and a great way to share information about this beautiful part of the country. More

Lake tekapo was our first stop in NZ and one of the highlights of our trip was staying at this B&B! The room had incredible views of the mountains and it was very cosy, clean and well-maintained. The hosts were very thoughtful and left the heaters on for us to warm the room before our return. They also provided electric... More

Incredible hosts, the wine and cheese by the fire was great. Also, views from the bedroom were great as well. Breakfast was delicious- the homemade jams were incredible and the atmosphere in the whole b&b was very relaxing. I will be recommending your place to my brother when he comes to the south island in late November. More

A wonderful B and B in a beautiful part of the world. We stayed for 1 night. Loved the wine and cheese before we went out to dinner, and the restaurant recommendations (great Japanese food!). A wonderful place to stay. More
