Super Tekapo Apartment
A one-night stay en route from Queenstown to Methven on a ski trip. Great place to stay, new, well equipped and warm, which is amazing in the coldest town in NZ. Super views from the unit, friendly host and a midday check out was very civilized (this applies only to some units). Highly recommend

Very nice and cozy yet spacious apartment ..unfortunately we were unable to see the lake due to the snow but the fireplace made up for it. We were met upon arrival to help with parking.

Very wonderful experience. The view of the lake was amazing. Watched the sunrise from the balcony and watched the stars at night.
The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The location was excellent. Near shopping and restaurants.

Amazing location, amazing apartment Thank you!
From the moment we arrived we were met with a fantastic friendly welcome. Our host explained everything very clearly and gave excellent recommendations for where to go and where to eat. She was lovely. This was the highlight of our trip- what a gorgeous apartment with the most stunning views we’ve ever had from an apartment. We honestly could not recommend this place more highly! Thank you for letting us enjoy such a fantastic house with such memorable views 👌👌👌

Fabulous
Wonderful place. Fantastic views, romantic ambience with fireplace, robes, slippers and HEATED bathroom floors! Huge shower, comfy beds....fabulous stay!
We stayed at the Shearers Quarters and it was a lovely stay. There was a dedicated parking space, beautiful bathroom with soaking tub and comfortable king size bed. Easy walking access into town and helpful hosts. Our stargazing tour was canceled due to cloudy weather but the office for that was right down the street.
