Twin Star Review

The unit had plenty of space for 3 adults. We each had our own bedroom. It was really nice having a washer and dryer. It is a close walk to town center.

We had a lovely stay at this place. The unit was roomy and very clean. We had a Mountain View right outside our slider. A quick 10 minute drive and we were right in town. While there be sure to star gaze at night. What a beautiful display of stars. If you want to book an excursion for this do it ahead of time as it books up quickly.

Unforgettable Tekapo Stay with Stunning Views

If you’re looking for an unforgettable stay in Tekapo, I highly recommend this accommodation! We spent three nights here, and it was one of our most memorable stays in New Zealand. The property is new, beautifully furnished, and equipped with everything we need to cook our own meals. The views of the mountains are absolutely gorgeous, and we loved relaxing on the patio with afternoon drinks. There’s also a charming farm across the road with the cutest animals. The space was ample, making it perfect for our family of 4. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit!

Good Stay, But Some Check-in Hiccups

We enjoyed our stay at this place, with a clean and comfortable suite, and a great location with stunning views. However, our check-in experience was a bit rocky. We encountered issues with the lock key, and despite repeated calls, it took around 45 minutes for someone to arrive and assist us. Luckily, someone checked the message on Hotels.com, or we would have been left stranded. Despite the late check-in (around 9 pm), we appreciated the eventual help. With some improvements to their check-in process, this place has the potential to be truly excellent.

Die Kommunikation war unter aller Kanone. Die Unterkunft war in schlechtem Zustand, hatte Schimmel und war wo ganz anders gelegen. Das Inserat muss wirklich besser formuliert werden. Man fühlt sich hintergangen… für uns sehr enttäuschend.

후기

금액이 잇는 만큼 깔끔하니 괜찮았습니다. 다만 테카포 메인거리와는 20분정도 걸어야돼서(차로3분) 차량이 없으신분은 비추천합니다. 근처에 둔덕이 있어서 별 볼수 있어요
