Lake Tekapo has a ton of new development, of which this rental is one. Its all new construction, very modern in style and very clean. There are a few things that still seem unfinished though. There are some temporary stairs at the front that didn't seem solid, and no steps up to the front deck. There is a hookup for a dryer (which would have been nice) but there isn't one installed. Somewhat odd furnishing choices inside with two different couch-appointed spaces but only a few metal stools at the counter if you want to have a meal. The kitchen has the bare minimum, with just service for 4 and a tiny selection of cookware. There are two large decks but not a stick of furnishings to be had there either.
Its in a convenient location, up the hill enough to be in a quiet residential setting but a 2 minute drive or 10 minute walk down to the shops and restaurants. Between the location, ample space, and clean new rooms and furnishings it could be very nice with just a bit of finishing touches.
