Property info

Retro Inn #1 is a warm, sunny classic 'kiwi' holiday home with plenty of character, and great lake and mountain views from the deck. A cosy living area opens onto a small deck with outdoor seating from which to enjoy the vista. An internal staircase leads up to the main queen bedroom on a mezzanine floor. Two more bedrooms are on the main floor, along with the bathroom, which includes a shower over the bathtub. Log burner with firewood supplied, heatpump, TV, DVD. Full kitchen facilities. Games room with table tennis downstairs. PLEASE NOTE; this is an older, wooden 'Lockwood' house, so it does creak with changes in the outside temperature, particularly in the evenings/night-time. However, if you enjoy a holiday house with character and soul then this is absolutely the one for you!

Neighborhood info

Lake Tekapo is renowned for it's stunning night sky, beautiful scenery and unbeatable climate! The area offers a wide range of activities throughout the year, including skiing, star-gazing, ice skating, horse trekking, scenic flights, fishing, boating and walking.
