The facility is new with stylish finishing. We stayed at the property twice during our NZ trip. The staff was accommodating, and assisted us with our luggage storage while we went on the TransAlpine tour package. It is a 10 mins walk to Westfield shopping centre. All the three rooms we have stayed had a kitchenettes, with sufficient cooking tools for a light meal. Bed was comfortable.

I loved everything about the property! In fact, I would’ve chosen it and stayed here for the four days of my trip to southern island if I had known it was so wonderful and it would be enough for my trip to NZ. It’s has the best location in the small town of Tekapo and it is in walking distance to major scenic lookouts and restaurants. It has the best views that picture what paradise could be like.

    We booked a cabin for 3 nights. Us and our 2yr old and 4yr old. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. It has a lovely little deck area then onto a lawn which was perfect for the children. A playground in the main camping area also fab. Toilets and showers really close. Everything was clean and the owners are lovely. We had such a great time.

    Surprisingly beautiful, there is plenty of trees and plants everywhere, its almost like the whole city is a park. The roads in some places are very bumpy,I guess from the earthquakes. Yummy pies in the city center, the huge church being held up by massive steel beams is a sight in itself. There were soo many places to eat,but sadly I was thinking about getting into shape. More time needed as I imagine there is some fun things to do. Theres a tunnel that takes you through the hillside to Littleton and the wharf areas ,where if you want to give your legs a great workout the steep streets will not disappoint . Fun drive over the hill and back down to sumner .

    Mount Cook Village is a great location if you are planning to do some walks in the area. We did the Hooker Valley Track, Sealy Tarn Track, and the Tasman Glacier View after which we were exhausted and travelling to another location would have been a bit much. Staying at the village was the best decision. At night you can travel slightly out to get the most exceptional views of stars and in the morning you wake up to unbelievably beautiful views of mountains. If you are lucky you might just get some snow.

    Timaru is a delightful town set in mid Canterbury, and is strategically located so one can enjoy day trips inland. The town itself is prosperous. Caroline Bay is a delight, and has been developed to be a destination for families in particular. There are a range of eateries to cater for different tastes and pockets! An interesting range of cultural attractions worth viewing too.

    We loved the French village vibe.

    We loved the French village vibe. The shops and cafes are lovely. At The Brasserie, I mentioned it was my husband’s 70th birthday and the owner brought out a caramel slice with a candle! Loved walking along the waterfront and enjoyed a short bush walk with views, near the lighthouse. The Tini House is in a superb setting right by the water and also great gin cocktails and pizza. We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Ma Maison with a lovely waitress. Had a superb wine tasting at Caldera Estate with oysters and a freshly baked seed loaf with olive oil and herb butter. Lovely staff, especially our French waitress, Solene. The bakery in the village bakes delicious bread daily, and the butchery has superb meat products and an excellent variety of deli items. Had a great pizza lunch at French Farm Estate and enjoyed chatting with the friendly family who own it.

Lots of activities to do and the Opuke Pools are a must. We had the kids with us so didn't get to experience the adults only side of things where private pools and dining are available.
