Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, "Great Scott" Great spot your Tekapo Retreat is located in Lake Tekapo. This property offers access to a balcony, tennis at the tennis court, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 45 km from Mt. Dobson. Loved the modern look and feel of the place. Easy walk to town. Bed was comfortable and had plenty of layers to suit temperature. Fan was a life saver in the bedroom as it got a bit warm. Kitchen was nice though we didn’t use it as we were only there for a night. Overall would definitely stay there again though there was a sold sign out front so not sure how much longer it will be available?

At Lakes Edge Holiday Park you will find a garden and barbecue facilities. Other facilities offered at the property include a shared lounge, a tour desk and luggage storage. You can not fault the view you get in any weather or spot in this place. There were unfortunately many upgrades happening during our visit including the kids play area which was just across from our room, this was unfortunate but once they are done it will only make this place even more amazing for the kids too. There was no shortage of heating in this place either.
