Lake Tekapo Holiday Homes

Lovely apartment, almost new, over the top of a restaurant, with gorgeous views of Lake Tekapo and the amazing mountain scenery. Easy walking to all the shops and restaurants, and some lovely easy lakeside walks. The only thing we could fault was that although it had a great kitchen with oven hob and microwave there were limited cooking pans and dishes particularly for cooking in the oven, but that is possibly because of how new it is. Other than that, it was really lovely, we had a great stay.

We rented a home for two nights through this company. Extremely well organised in that the office is in the town and they were expecting us. House was very clean and convenient. Great to be able to do laundry. However, This home did not have a heat pump which we would have used to cool the place down as it was very hot from being closed up. Even three hours after opening every door and window it was still very hot! Also the windows can’t be left open as there are only two possibilities. Open very wide or closed! Mosquitoes invade at dusk even with lights off. No fly spray provided😢 Despite these irritations we enjoyed our stay in beautiful Tekapo 😊

We had the best stay. We were upgraded to a house from our originally booked apartment due to the room not being cleaned properly and a description difference from original booking (no lake view). The house was really comfortable and the location amazing. Looked out straight onto the lake. We were also given a meal voucher as an apology. Cannot fault anything about this trip to Tekapo. Even the weather was amazing. Thank you Lake Tekapo Holiday Homes for making our trip so memorable.

We had an awesome stay in this lovely Lockwood home. Nice views and close to town. The house was cozy and warm. I would definitely stay here again and have already book my next trip with Tekapo Holiday Homes.

I booked Smithy's place through Lake Tekapo Holiday homes. So happy, I did. The house was spacious, had a fully equipped kitchen and laundry, and felt like a home away from home. It was immaculately clean and, very importantly, so warm and cosy. It was an easy 10-minute walk to the village and had a lovely view from the master bedroom of the lake. The folks at Lake Tekapo Holiday homes were welcoming, and checking in and out was effortless. I would absolutely use Smithy's house and Lake Tekapo Holiday homes again.

The views of the lake are wonderful at this campsite. Kitchen is small but sufficient and the shower/toilet block is new and clean. Showers have a timer of 6 minutes so don’t fuss about, be efficient and you’ll have plenty of time. The track to the observatory starts from here as well. It’s about 10 minute walk to the village.

Gorgeous location, lakeside, with super views. However. Felt like site was still under construction, no grass, dirt roads, diggers, piles of earth etc. Motorhome pitches a bit crammed in together, but in my humble opinion far too many to be comfortable. Facilities good, modern, clean….but far too few for number of pitches. Waste baskets were overflowing, plus no loo roll in some cubicles. Showers are frustrating.. six minutes, then a 3 minute wait for more hot water. Plus queues at all of them. All well and good, but can’t do one in/one out very easily when there is no hot water! Nice kitchen, helpful Yorkshire chap on reception, good recycling. But at $58 for two for one night a bit pricey to be putting up with a slightly 2nd rate stop.
