“Amazing scenery, friendly helpful staff, relaxed atmosphere, provided with everything to be comfortable during our stay - clean amenities, barbecues, so close to Tekapo Springs and some lovely walks around the area. We had an absolutely incredible stay for such a reasonable cost. We shifted our holiday and stayed an extra night. if we weren’t on a tight time limit we would’ve stayed even longer. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay in this park in Lake Tekapo again, when next visiting from Australia.”
