Premium location, incredible full view of Lake Pukaki. Right on Mount Cook road, easy to navigate. The property is large, comfortable, and totally undisturbed.

We loved the remote and beautiful location of the cottage. If was tastefully furnished and very comfortable. We picked boysenberries on the path down to the lake which were delicious. The night skies were superb.
Nothing, it was perfect for us.

The location and the views are amazing. Beautiful sunsets and lovely night sky views. 40 minutes to Mount Cook, 40 minutes to Lake Tekapo and 20 minutes to Twizel.
We spent the month travelling across New Zealand, and this was the most expensive accommodation we booked, and it was not good value for money. We don't mind spending, when it is worth it. The property was basic, no decor. Absolutely no storage facilities, no wardrobes to even hang up some clothes which we even had in the cheapest accommodation. The single beds were uncomfortable, there was also a door leading outside from one of the twin rooms that did not lock. Our friends were a little uncomfortable with this, especially as we arrived at night. We called our hosts and asked for help, as we had many issues when we arrived. The owner arrived and he just laughed when we mentioned the door and said he didn't know where the key was but told us it would be fine as we were in the middle of nowhere. We also couldn't get the TV to work, which he eventually fixed but the issue with that is that they have very outdated facilities so it doesn't work properly. The photos make it look very private, but we had other guests walking right along our property at night and through the day, we didn't realise that was another property so close as the photos made it look very secluded. The bedrooms felt unclean, cobwebs and spiders. There were holes in the walls. The electric clearly needs looking at, as we weren't allowed to use the toaster and kettle at the same time, which is just ridiculous when you are paying so much for a property. The outside lights didn't work which was very difficult when we arrived at night. Again we reported this and we were just told they didn't know and the caretaker was away, so it just wasn't dealt with. We didn't find the owner the most helpful, and there were ridiculous rules that were only sent to us after we could no longer cancel, even telling us how to sleep in the bed to save them washing.
