Spotlessly clean, modern facilities with warm, personal touches. The room was slightly small but there was a common area right outside with snacks, laptop, books etc which gave us more space. Well designed place where we had privacy and peace and quiet even though there were rooms beside us. Peter and Jill are wonderful hosts and gave us good recommendations... More

We stayed in the Macaulay room, which had the most beautiful view over the town and Lake Tekapo (and, incidentally, the best shower we have encountered in any hotel or B&B!). Peter was such a lovely, welcoming host - he gave us all the information we could ask for about places to eat in town and walks to go on.... More

We only planned to stay for 1 night and wished we could stayed for longer. The facilities in the cottage was good and modern. The only comment I would have is the Wifi connection, seems there was some issue with the authentication and I was not able to connect to the wifi access point. I guess it would be just... More

We stayed 4 nights in the cottage in the summer period. The cottage is modern, very well equipped, comfortable and nicely decorated. It is a short walk to town. And Pete and Jill are very friendly. The only slight downside is that the lounge's large windows overlook the street. That said, we definitely recommend this place.

Everything were very clean and comfortable. We could receive Pete and Jill 's hearty welcome like Japanese "OMOTENASHI" mind very well. We were not good at speaking English, but they were very kind and helpful. Excellent breakfast, that was also recommendable point for us. If we have a chance to visit New Zealand again, we want to visit Lake Tekapo... More

Comfortable, clean and equipped cottage/house ideally positioned between Queenstown and Christchurch. Hosts were informative and helpful and suggested restaurants. Nice touch to have boardgames and books to read.

I can't rate our stay with Pete and Jill highly enough. Exceptional standard in everything from tea to breakfast and the crispy sheets in between. Amazing view and wonderful hospitality . Pete and Jill are full of local information and are keenly interested in your story.

A superb b and b. We were made to feel very welcome in this beautiful house. The views towards the mountains were fantastic. The food was excellent – breakfast was a delight. Great attention to detail is evident throughout the accommodation. I would recommend this as a stay not to miss.
