    A really interesting property. Imagine a wooden Swiss chalet. Lots of space, very good facilities. Located just a 10 minute walk from town centre. Table tennis available in the garage

    Large house with all the equipments needed, even cooking oil, salts and laundry powder! A bit old one but quite tidy. I love the beds. Own parking space. 3 mins drive to the rental office, 5 mins drive to the 4 square super market.

Property information

Retro Inn #2 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. Garage underneath suitable for storage of ski gear in winter. 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!

Neighbourhood information

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 fishing, photography, skiing, hot pools, day spa, horse trekking, scenic flights, ice skating, star-gazing and walking.
