Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Perfect location with views over Lake Tekapo. Clean and comfortable! Jack Rabbit restaurant located within the property was the most affordable place and lovely staff (with 10% discount if staying).
Negative: We had upstairs room with no lift so had to carry suitcases up staircase. Worth it for the view
Summary: Great price for location
