Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, "Great Scott" Great spot your Tekapo Retreat is located in Lake Tekapo. This property offers access to a balcony, tennis at the tennis court, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 45 km from Mt. Dobson. Loved the modern look and feel of the place. Easy walk to town. Bed was comfortable and had plenty of layers to suit temperature. Fan was a life saver in the bedroom as it got a bit warm. Kitchen was nice though we didn’t use it as we were only there for a night. Overall would definitely stay there again though there was a sold sign out front so not sure how much longer it will be available?

All the details were right: from providing a late check in to everything detail in the room - towels folded in a nice way, clean room, unique flair, great kitchen and such friendly staff - we would come back anytime. Loved it.
