Friendly welcome, clean room with little details like extra fresh crisp sheets, cookies, de-fog bathroom mirror made us feel comfortable and cozy. We did hiking on Akaroa/Mt Cook and this place is close enough to stay.

Very comfortable & quiet spot w/very good wifi. You can even check out their sheeps in the morning. About a 20 min. drive east of Tekapo on the way back to Christchurch at about ½ the price of staying in Tekapo.

Phil is very friendly and helpful. The place is large and clean with rustic charm. Easy to relax in. Lake Tekapo is a short drive. Quaint church across the street as well as Three Creeks.
