Good place close to the Tekapo lake and they have a good kitchen to make your food and also, they had washrooms and toilets close to the room rather than holiday parks so that's a good advantage.

Liked: Cleanliness
Compared of the price I paid, I think it was good. The location is excellent. The room is spacious, the commons kitchen was great. Only the shared shower appeared old and not clean. So I decided not shower that night because I had showered in the morning , and I am going to have a private shower the coming night.
