The home is pleasant and clean. But the picture makes it look like the view is way better than it actually is. Many home in that division have a view of the mountain or Lake Tekapo, this house has a view of the neighbors deck. Also, several of the neighbors have dogs that are either unfriendly (owners warned as away kindly but aggressively) or in another case, they left the dog outside to bark and cry for well over an hour while they sat just inside the patio window. Made our whole group sad. Go to Lake Tekapo, but look for a more promising place to stay.
