    Super clean and cozy lodge with two bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. They have a shower, an indoor bathtub and even an outside private hot tub for stargazing at night. We tried the fire place which is quite straightforward and this gives a nice vibe of a cabin in the Forrest. They do have electric inverter so the fireplace is just a nice extra. Location wise , perfect! You can walk to the center of the town and only a Little over 1 km drive to the famous church of the good shepherd.

    Very nice lodge with a cozy shared lounge with fireplace (which we needed because it was raining and snowing all day). Large kitchen with everything you need and good bathroom. We had a bunk room and twin room. The twin room was very cozy, the bunk room obviously basic but a bed is all you need there anyway. Beautiful view over Lake Tekapo!

    Lodge was cosy, warm and completely adorable! The heating was on ready for our arrival and we were given a loaf of fresh bread. The fireplace was also set to go with kindling and logs - it was magic. Everything was sparkling clean. Our two young kids absolutely adored feeding the farmyard animals, including Whisky the pig.
