The Landsborough Tekapo

Lake Tekapo

Set in Lake Tekapo, within 46 km of Mt. Dobson, The Landsborough Tekapo offers accommodation with air conditioning. The interiors! The location! The views! We’ve traveled to 65 countries and never fell in love with a home so deeply like this one. The design, the warmth, the views of lake tekapo, the night sky, the cleanliness, convenience, area, ease of access. It’s huge! 3 bedrooms! We were four but it could have easily fit 8. The rooms were clean and at the level of a hotel. There were mini bags of laundry detergent, make up removing wipes - so many thoughtful little touches that the couple Jen & Hamish set out for their guests. We had NZ staple snack set aside for us upon arrival. Jen and Hamish are the best hosts ever, I actually met them and asked them if they would do another as we just loved the home. It gets booked out fast, so if in tekapo, I wouldn’t wait to book it.

The Studio Akaroa

Akaroa

The Studio Akaroa is situated in Akaroa. Guests staying at this apartment have access to a fully equipped kitchenette. With 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, this apartment is equipped with a flat-screen TV. Very clean, excellent position and good condition like brand new. There is no real ability to self cater as there is very limited cooking facilities, but that was clear in the property description, so no surprise. Private allocated parking right adjacent to the entrance , and that was a bonus. The property looks straight on to the pavement but the reflective widows, blinds and curtains (for night) made this like plus as it was fun to watch people right outside and at the cafe across the road. It was totally quiet at night and very comfortable bed.

Glenburn Coastal Retreat

Kaikoura

Glenburn Coastal Retreat in Kaikoura provides adults-only accommodation with an open-air bath and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. We enjoyed being there so much we asked if we could extend our stay. Sadly, they were booked so we were unable to. However, due to how much we enjoyed our time there, we are hoping to come back next year and stay again. The cottage is so comfortable that we cancelled our dinner reservations and grabbed food at the local grocery and ate in both nights. With the ocean on one side, mtns on the other, why would you want to be anywhere else? Extremely well equipped with everything you could need. Comfortable, relaxing, and beautiful setting all rolled up in one. Thank you for all the special touches included in your cottage. Our favorite place in NZ so far.
