What an absolutely beautiful place to stay!!! The entire house was so tastefully decorated, especially the kitchen! The house was set in beautiful peaceful gardens and only a short walk to town. It was a cold day when we arrived and our host had lit the fire for us and had left plenty of firewood at the back door for us to use. We remained lovely and warm for the length of our stay. Everything about our stay in this beautiful home was perfect.

Hillcrest Lodge B | Lake Tekapo

JeromeRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The place itself was spacious, beautifully set up, and had all the amenities we needed — and more. It felt like a home away from home. On our first night, we experienced a snowstorm, and we were so grateful that the heating worked perfectly. A special highlight for my kids was the log burner — it was their first time seeing one, and they loved the cozy experience! Having a garage was a huge bonus — we didn’t have to worry about digging out our rental car the next morning. And the view from the balcony of the lake was stunning, especially with everything covered in snow. What made it even more special was the large open space at the back where our kids had the best time playing in the snow. It was such a joy to watch. My family and I truly enjoyed our stay — everything was perfect! Would highly recommend and would love to come back someday.

The lounge area features a dark sofa and a light sofa, arranged around a wooden coffee table. Light-colored artwork adorns the walls, while large doors provide access to the outdoor space. A black wood stove and a decorative rug enhance the room's comfort.

This b&b was absolutely beautiful and pristine when we arrived and felt just like being at home. We had dinner at Jade Palace, 2 minute drive away and had the best Chinese food we have had in a long time. When arriving back, we set up the fireplace and sat on the couch in front of the amazing views. We will definitely be staying again.
