Gray Street Cottage - + free gym access

RachaelRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Eve's place is a delightful cottage, designed beautifully and truly feels like a home away from home. Check in was extremely easy, the home was extremely clean and it was so lovely to have tea, milk and water provided to enjoy throughout the stay. The garden is stunning and the view of the gold course makes Eve's place a gorgeous stop for any traveller exploring New Zealand. I would highly recommend Eve's place.

Beautiful place with amazing views!! Proper had amazing views and was so peaceful. The pantry had all the appliances that one could need. Rowen was extremely responsive and helpful. We absolutely loved staying at this property and will return on our next visit to New Zealand.

Milky Way

JoyceRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

The location is perfect - walkable to the lakefront shops and supermarkets yet private enough to that it's peaceful. We really appreciated the heated flooring - it made showering in the 0 degree weather. Wish I had found out about the 'mini library' in the TV console earlier!

Super cozy and comfortable, we loved staying here during our trip. It was really spacious and well decorated, pretty much exactly like the photos. It's not too far of a drive to Lake Tekapo and the pies in town were amazing.

Birdsong Cottage

ColleenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

A magical place to wake and watch a beautiful dawn rise above the mist and to sit and hear tui and fantail calling at sunset. Everything you could wish for in a home from home been thought of. Definitely come back again.

Bauchops Hill Station Farmstay

FengRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Wow I don't even know where to begin. Lou and Dion were so warm and welcomed us into their house (which is situated on the farm). The highlight of our stay was the farm tour. Highly recommended for BOTH kids and adults. It's a separate fee of 250nzd at our time of stay and it was well worth it. Dion took us up to his farm up on his 4WD and we went up the mountains where the views are unparalleled and we could get up close and personal with the cows, sheeps, and his sheepdog as well. He shared personal experiences as well as interesting facts about the farm. This beats and commercial stay or visit to a farm. Lou was also very welcoming and helped us with everything we needed. We met with a situation where our car was in a ditch and Lou was so kind to send her nephews Isaac and Hamish to help tow us out of the situation. My family is extremely grateful for their help and hospitality. If you're visiting lake tekapo or any of the surroundings, just stay here already!

An outdoor lounge area features comfortable seating arranged around a low table, offering unobstructed views of the expansive green lawn and distant mountains. A wooden railing surrounds the patio, complementing the serene landscape under a clear blue sky.

St Elmo's Farm Cottage

WendyRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Beautiful and cosy farm stay. Away from other other houses so we could be in complete darkness at night and see the Milky Way! Charlotte was very quick with her responses and Chad was kind enough to show us the calves and the farm.

A modern building with large glass windows reflects the blue evening sky. A water feature spills gently into a serene pond, surrounded by smooth stones and manicured grass, creating a peaceful ambiance. The structure's sleek design complements the natural landscape.
