We had originally booked a different room, but swapped to the Godley room when we saw the magnificent views! The king sized bed was extremely comfortable, with excellent linens and bedding. The ensuite bathroom was not large, but had a feeling of space thanks to the high skylight letting in natural light. The shower was one of the best we... More

Jill and Peter were very welcoming and provided a great deal of local information with maps showing the local attractions. We had a pleasant chat with them and the other guests over a glass of wine before going out for an evening meal. Our room was “the smallest in the house but with the largest bathroom” but was extremely adequate... More

We weren't initially sure whether to break our journey from Queenstown to Christchurch in Tekapo but we are glad we did and delighted that we got to spend the night at Pete and Jill's lovely home. They are delightful and welcoming hosts. Pete even offered to meet us off the bus and take our backpacks back to the house so... More

We stayed here after reading the reviews on trip advisor; and we were not disappointed at all. The hosts are warm and welcoming and eager to please and help. The recommendations for dinner were Spot on and the maps provided were detailed with thoughtful hints. The breakfasts were lovely and the rooms are clean and spacious. The views are terrific!...

We had a very pleasant stay with Peter and Jill at Alpine Vista. They were very welcoming and attentive hosts – we particularly enjoyed the glass of wine and conversation each evening- with good advice about places to eat and walks in the area. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with views towards Lake Tekapo and the mountains. Breakfast was... More

Just a short walk from the main street you'll find beautiufully decorated rooms, excellent views (yes, it's not called Alpine Vista for no reason), fantastic large homemad breakfasts and - most important - two lovely hosts. We really enjoyed the... More

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
