Loved that every room had an ensuite. Loved the kitchen. When it snowed outside, we were extremely warm inside. Lots of Tvs kept our family happy as did a big table to play games!

This was a great place in Lake Tekapo. The community was quiet, the kitchen was fully equipped, the bathroom nice and had a wonderful hot shower with high pressure, and the beds were SO comfy and had a much-needed heated pad. We had a car so it was a 4-minute drive to Four Square grocery (where you can walk to the Tekapo waterfront), but we also walked, and it took about 20-25 minutes, so depending on what you'd prefer, it's still reasonably close for those without a car. One thing to note, but not necessarily a bad thing, they do have a washer, but only a drying rack. This didn't bother me, but just wanted to let others know. Overall the stay was very cozy and I would absolutely come back here.

The location was amazing - you are so close to the lake and church and the town is just a few minutes walk away across the footbridge - and it’s beautiful views all the way. The property is cosy, and well equipped if you’re self catering. It’s easy access to the Tekapo Springs and Roundhill and Ohau Skifield. Plenty of restaurants in within walking distance and a great supermarket for all your self catering needs.

The cottage is very nice and had everything we needed It was warm and cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I appreciated having an electric blanket. A good location for day trips to Mount Cook, Tekapo, or further south to Cromwell. The clay cliffs are worth a visit. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay, even in winter. Although it was foggy at Twizel, Mount Cook, which is about 45 minutes drive away, it was beautiful there, so we'll worth going to.

The cozy cottage with the fire going and horses was the perfect way to spend my daughters 6th birthday in winter! We loved the views and star gazing from the veranda. Lee was lovely and my daughter was so happy to meet the horses. Would love to ride them next time! The amenities were great everything was well thought out and it made our stay very enjoyable. We will definitely be back again ☺️

Cottage on Harrogate was amazing! The house was beautiful, well equipped, cosy and comfortable – we didn’t want to leave! The booking was easy, the communication with the owners fantastic and they accommodated our request for earlier check in - which made our stay perfect. We will definitely be back. Thank you Ryan and Ania.
