The location was hidden away and private, yet situated right across from the lake's shore. It was also only a short walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd. We also really appreciated being able to do laundry while we were there.

We stayed in the beech cottage for 3 nights and it was cosy, nice and had good facilities. it has everything what an independent house should have. This cottage is next to the lake tekapo so you take a good walk around the lake.

It is a lovely older style house. The lake and mountain views are just down the driveway. It was nice watching the wild rabbits running around in the morning

The location, the cottage is pretty much right on the lake, quiet and peaceful, providing all the amenities expected, except for tissues/paper towels. Which seems like it might be an NZ thing. Easy to find and maintain.

Having a place where we could cook, living room was a good size and we did put together the one 500 piece puzzle available in the cabin while watching Netflix. Very dark though as in the middle of the Dark Reserve (stars are amazing!!) and so I...

Property info

This lovely, quiet older style cottage is tucked away on Pioneer Drive, alongside Lake Tekapo. It is down a long driveway so has lots of privacy while still retaining a corridor view of the turquoise blue waters of Lake Tekapo from the sunny garden. The living area is spacious and joins the open plan kitchen/dining with a log fire and heat pump. The kitchen is very well equipped with all you need to prepare your own meals and a dishwasher to help the clean up. There are two comfortable queen bedrooms, and books or TV to while away any spare time. A short walk out the driveway brings you to the lakefront, with panoramic views of Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains. Wander the lakefront walking track for a few minutes to reach the Church of the Good Shepherd and sheepdog memorial, then over the Tekapo footbridge (perfect location for photos!) to the village centre eateries & shops. By prior agreement Beech Cottage also welcomes well-behaved dogs, so your whole family can enjoy the break (not fenced). See our FAQ’s for more details. Tekapo’s dog park is within walking distance, ideal for your morning walk before going out and exploring for the day. A small nightly fee applies.
