Beautiful old school cottage right by the water and at walking distance of the village. We haven't met the owner while we were there, but have exchanged friendly email instead. The room is well furnished, and the bathroom has a ceiling window to watch the stars from the bath... A must!
Listed as disabled friendly but no wheelchair entry and shower over bath. No kitchen nor cooking utensils or dishcloth /washing up liquid. Has microwave and fridge but no microwave bowls etc Fridge empty ie no welcoming milk nor provision for water jug/bottle. Priced at $251 per night not worth that for week. Clean and tidy tho. Tekapo itself "dead" main tourist attraction the church not open for viewing. Don't stop here.
Location is good, and within walking distance to the church. The apartment itself was spacious. However, the unit I stayed in needed to wait for about 3 minutes for the hot water to come in, and halfway through the shower it got cut off...
