Enjoy breathtaking views in this stunning setting, just a five-minute walk from the village and shopping centre. There is 1 king bedroom plus 1 twin bedroom (2 single beds); 1 newly renovated bathroom with shower and toilet; spacious lounge and gorgeous sun room with unobstructed views to the lake. A fully equipped kitchen means you can prepare all meals from the cottage should you wish to. Please note this does not mean that food/drink is provided. We are available to be contacted should you need us, otherwise we’ll leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet! Minutes walk from the heart of Lake Tekapo. As far as the lake itself is concerned, you can not get any closer! It’s right at your doorstep. Parking available on site. Minutes walk from everything Tekapo has to offer. Late check out fee is applied for late checkout past 11am ($40) as we lose our slot with cleaners. If you enjoy cold water plunging, walk off the lawn and down to the freezing Lake Tekapo glacial water. 1) Please note that Tekapo is a Dark Sky Reserve. As such, there are no street lights and the entire town is very dark after sunset which allows for some of the best stargazing in the world. If you are checking in at night, you must be prepared to navigate the darkness, which might make finding the property difficult. We recommend checking in before sunset. It is not the fault of the property owner if guests encounter issues due to a late check in after dark. Council laws prevent us from providing more than soft glow solar lamps. 2) Please note instant coffee, tea and sugar are provided. Milk and other pantry items are not provided. 3) To ensure adequate hot water, showers need to be limited to 7 minutes (if 4 guests are showering). ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68040000/68034800/68034778/w1586h1018x14y0-55b4b5f5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Star View - 3 Bedrooms Lake Tekapo - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Parking available 10 Exceptional 2 reviews £423 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=68034778&PinnedHotelID=68034778&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68150000/68143100/68143014/354dc9f9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Star River - 3 Bedrooms B Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 1 review £423 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=68143014&PinnedHotelID=68143014&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119710000/119704400/119704303/w1440h958x0y0-b59310c8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aldourie Lodge - Lake Tekapo Lake Tekapo - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=119704303&PinnedHotelID=119704303&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107120000/107117100/107117014/75d0e786.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New warm modern family friendly /Unit4/2bedroom Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning £259 includes taxes & fees 11 Mar - 12 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-11&endDate=2026-03-12&selected=107117014&PinnedHotelID=107117014&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113150000/113140500/113140489/4e48ee51.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stargazing Tekapo Apartment B Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review £510 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=113140489&PinnedHotelID=113140489&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113150000/113140500/113140455/f9a9ad6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mirror Lake 2 Bedroom A Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 8.0 Very good 3 reviews £357 includes taxes & fees 4 Mar - 5 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-04&endDate=2026-03-05&selected=113140455&PinnedHotelID=113140455&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69560000/69557000/69556937/b9bee40a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### High Country Villa 238-Luxury Villa in Terrace Downs Windwhistle - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 7.6 Good 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-26&endDate=2026-02-27&selected=69556937&PinnedHotelID=69556937&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105770000/105768300/105768288/cd190d41.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Best winter retreat - Perfect for Mt.
