Relax and Reconnect in Otematata - Sleeps up to 9!
Fantastic spot to enjoy the amazing location around the lakes and McKenzie District and of course Maadi Cup! A great house that had everything we needed in a very quiet and scenic place.

Down Time At Lake Ohau
We had a fantastic stay! The house was spacious, super clean and the kitchen was very well stocked. Itās a 20 min drive to Twizel and any store but we didnāt mind the drive because itās so beautiful! The neighborhood is quiet and remote. But a good location for exploring the surrounding area. The only disappointing thing was the house being oriented completely opposite of the lake views. The main windows in the living rooms opened to the street and the bedrooms in the back of the house had tiny windows that faced the lake. The garage in back also blocks the lake view. The main bedroom did have a window facing the lake but you canāt take advantage of it due to the next door neighbor living in a bus about 10 feet from the window. So for privacy, the curtains needed to be closed. But despite the strange orientation of the house, everything was smooth, pristine and comfortable. And even though the main windows faced the street side, the front patio was landscaped for some privacy.

Lake Escape-stunning views and close to town
Loved our stay here. Super convenient location with lake view. Sally was really responsive and friendly as well, thanks for the amazing stay!

Star Gazing Retreat-1 Min Drive 15min walk to Lake
We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor fire pit was wonderful, the place was very well stocked, and very peaceful.

Tekapo Alpine Lodge
Older fashioned house but just as described and perfectly suitable for our needs. Would happily stay there again.

Backcountry hut with a modern twist
This place is amazing! We loved our stay, the place is very well equipped, and nicely decorated. The environment is very peaceful and we loved the Lake Ohau. Would love to stay there again.

Frog Lodge - Enjoy Comfort & Style in Otematata
We absolutely loved staying at Janās place. Such a great location, with so many places nearby to visit. One day we visited Oamaru and the next Mt Cook. The geological sites near Kurow-Duntroon were amazing. The lakes are gorgeous, I only wish I brought my bike with me. Our dog also loved Janās place as she was safe and secure in the fully fenced gorgeous garden.

The Retreat
Amazing ācottageā with modern touches and plenty of room for my family and cousins family to spread out and enjoy the space after hours of hiking. Would not hesitate coming again.
Apartment rentals with lake access

Otematata Lakeside Apartment Unit B5
Nice place, lots of room. I have stayed in several of the units in this location and this was the nicest one and the largest

Stellar Apartment 4bedroom
A fabulous home and each room having a bathroom was a real bonus. Very easy instructions for our stay, the home was very clean and a handy location to the shops, restaurants and lake. Highly recommend

Lake Pukaki 1 Bedroom Family Apartment
Anna and Mike were amazing! We asked for an early check-in, and although guests were there before, they let us know when we could arrive after they cleaned. Their place was pristine and tranquil. They were patient and flexible as well as I remembered the wrong check-out time and let us take our time. It's a little outside of Twizel, but this place was preferable for us. I recommend it if you like a more peaceful stay.

Lakeview Tekapo Luxury House
Lovely and comfortable house

The photos may not be the best representatives as the room looked much better/newer than in the photos. Very easy check-in instructions. Highly recommended!
Lake access cottage rentals

Beech Cottage | Lake Tekapo
Fabulous location. Beautiful walk along the lake to the Church and township. We loved being able to light a fire after watching the stars on a clear, cool night.

Stargazerās Luxury Retreat
David is a super host - check in was super easy. Beautifully kept place, peaceful and private with great views of Lake Tekapo and the stars! 5 stars - recommend highly.

St Elmo's Farm Cottage
Helpful hosts, very private, quite, and peaceful place - we really enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evenings :)

Kowhai Cottages - Rustic Charm & Stargazing Oasis
Couldnāt recommend high enough. The perfect cottage, every detail is thought out, the beds are incredibly comfortable. We could have easily stayed longer. Thank you Jana!!

Lakefront Cottage 3 bedroom
Excellent accommodation with fantastic views Very clean and you can tell it has been well cared for. Lovely hosts and Siimin provided great recommendations with excellent knowledge of the area. We did a stargazing experience with Kathy and as it was just the two of us in the accommodation it was made personalised to us. The experience was absolutely brilliant. Kathy has so much passion for the subject and is a very talented teacher. I would highly recommend doing this experience as it has been one of our highlights of our trip to NewZealand! Thanks again for a brilliant stay!

Cosy Cottage Overlooking Lake Pukaki
Beautiful lakefront cottage with incredible views and a quiet and private location. This home is older but clean and well-maintained. There is no central heat or AC but the space heaters were effective. The host provided lots of information about activities. The house is located about 35-45 minutes to Mount Cook National Park and Lake Tekapo, 7 minutes from Lake Pukaki retreat (stargazing) and 15-20 minutes from Twizel with shopping and restaurants. The house was larger than expected with 4 twin and 1 larger (queen or king?) bed. Checkin was easy, kitchen was well-equipped and our stay was great.
