We rented Tekapo Escape, the completely self enclosed house which is just next door to Tekapo Escape and run by the same people. Making the booking and the whole process was very easy. Steve and Jenny were friendly and helpful when we arrived. Although we were next door to Tekapo Escape, the house felt very private. Tekapo Escape has three... More

This has been our best B&B experience in NZ! We were extremely lucky to get the whole house next to the B&B incl. Living room, kitchen and 3 bedroom/3 bathrooms (used only 1 of course). Views are great of this beautiful lake and breakfast fine as well. Hosts were talkative and seemed very nice people to us. Overall very much... More

This was by far the best hotel/ B&B we stayed at New Zealand. The room was classy, best of toiletries, a shower cubile with music and mmulti direction points, floor heaters and it goes on. The hosts were very nice. We got up late on day of checkout as we had been to the observatory tour the previous night. We... More

Our last B & B in NZ did not disappoint. Our room was lovely with luxurious ensuite. Very thoughtful touches cookies and chocs in the fridge. Good breakfast with spectacular views, both our hosts were welcoming and helpful. We wanted to do a helicopter trip of Mt Cooke Steve phoned for us to check availability - a trip not to... More

Everyone said the good things; I am going to only mention the bad: 1. Our hosts were not that friendly. On arrival Steve just took my reservation paper from my hand - no smiles or greetings like "how are you?" no name, no title, etc. No greetings to my travel partner at all. The same when I departed. 2. Steve... More

Very clean and friendly without being intrusive. What a great view over lake and mountains and to sit with that view at breakfast makes eating and talking almost an unnecessary intrusion except for the fact that the breakfast is great too! Only issues are that it is a bit further from restaurants than we thought and we could have done... More

My husband, son and I spent two wonderful nights at this beautiful B&B. Lovely, friendly hosts that were welcoming and comfortable to be with. Fantastic room, great ensuite, large bed that provided a great sleep along with the quiet surroundings. Stunning views of the lake while having a delicious breakfast including amazing home-made toast. Very close to town centre also.... More
