Starlight De Heaven is a fully self contained cosy two storey character cottage featuring three spacious private bedrooms with separate entrances, two private bathrooms and a spa bathtub. The upper floor has a wrap around deck with mountain and lake views, and there has fireplace that was mine favorite, also my guest's love! This is especially important in winter if you like to ski. The house is located next to the pine forest (Cowans Hill Walkway) in a quiet part of the village away from the main highway. It is easy walking only 1000 meter distance to the lake, Church of the Good Shepherd and Lake Tekapo village. Famous Mount Cook Hooker Valley is 1 hour 10 minutes away. You can see Tasman glaciers over there. Also, It is a 17 minutes drive to Mount John observatory which has a full view over Lake Tekapo and is an excellent point to appreciate starlight. However they will charge you if you would like to go up there at night. Anywhere else is free to do stargazing though. Special conditions: No Pets, No Party, No Smoking, Keep Quite after 10:00 pm, Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$150.00 per stay); ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 private bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the bay - On a lake ### Things to do - Bicycles - Boat - Snow sports gear - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Sledding nearby - Swimming nearby - Winery tours nearby ### 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) ### General - Bicycles - Garden - Unit size: 1,830 square feet ## Similar properties ![Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122570000/122562300/122562220/1150d02e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tekapo Alps Family Home w/ Deck & Mountain Views Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=122562220&PinnedHotelID=122562220&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106400000/106398900/106398829/d7c9d4a7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Milkyway - Mountain Breeze Lodge Lake Tekapo - Hot tub - Kitchen - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 8.6 Excellent 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=106398829&PinnedHotelID=106398829&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112960000/112953400/112953398/404205c5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cedar Sky - 3BR Near Lake Tekapo and Mt John Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Outdoor space 8.0 Very good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=112953398&PinnedHotelID=112953398&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Spa](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108950000/108948100/108948087/38a4b4e1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hillside Haven - Perfect Getaway in Lake Tekapo Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 5.0 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=108948087&PinnedHotelID=108948087&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116630000/116626400/116626353/3ffa5778.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### "Great Scott" Great Spot Your Tekapo Retreat Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=116626353&PinnedHotelID=116626353&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106400000/106398900/106398832/337646a6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Dipper - 2-Bedroom Accommodation Lake Tekapo - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 6.8 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-28&endDate=2026-03-01&selected=106398832&PinnedHotelID=106398832&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106400000/106398900/106398811/69e71fb1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Polaris - 1bed Oasis in Lake Tekapo!
