We stayed here for one night during our recent holiday to New Zealand. Fantastic views of the township and lake and a very modern new stone home which was very clean. Lovely couple and very helpful. More

We stayed here for one night, en route to the south of South Island. We arrived late after a long drive from Christchurch, but you wouldn't have known from the warm welcome we got from Chris. The room was good, the bathroom too, and the view (this was from the room with the deck) was outstanding: out over Lake Tekapo... More

You are guaranteed a wonderful welcome. Excellent continental breakfast, delicious fruit and jams. Room was one of the smallest that we had, but was only there one night so not an issue. Uphill walk from the centre of town, so a car is useful but that is usual anyway. Mount John and the views were recommended and gave us great... More

Although we were just stopping for one night we were very glad that we chose to stay at the Glacier Rock B and B. The views from the room, sundeck and breakfast room were amazing and the breakfast was delicious. Nothing better than waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread! Chris was an excellent hostess and gave us... More

Not really much to add! Friendly and hospitable, breakfasts were excellent, and Chris gave me lots of advice about where to go and what to see. I'll definitely go back there when I return to New Zealand. More

The view from our room is simply breath taking. Lying on the comfortable king bed looking down the hill towards the turquoise water of lake tekapo with the high mountains in the background is perfect. The room itself is beautifully designed and decorated. Chris and Colin made sure we (a couple with 18 months baby) have a very comfortable stay... More

Though our stay was short (1 night) we thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the most breathtaking sunset view through the bedroom windows, not to mention Chris' gracious hospitality. The room and facilities themselves are new, modern and clean, with a comfy mattress and great sheets. My only regret is not getting a chance to see Colin's art in the gallery.... More

Stayed for 4 nights there in Jan 2012 and were totally satisfied. Hearty welcome, very good service with a professional touch to it. Breakfast was very good, we missed nothing. Hosts gave us lots of information about the place and walking / cycling tours around the lakes which were very useful and made our stay even better. Go there! More

Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The guest breakfast room has lovely views over the lake. Our room was small but beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The continental breakfast provided was amazing including home made yoghurt and freshly made bread. The location is a little way out of the town but not a problem for us as we had... More

Chris has got the balance just right. We were so glad to take her advise and walk up to St John's Ovbservatory. The lake was unbelievable from that vantage point and the walk/hike made it such a good reward. The bedroom and en-suite was spotless. Breakfast was wonderful, fresh fruit, cereals yoghurt, home made bread and quality preserves. The outlook... More
