Matariki Star - 1 Bedroom Suite B

The unit is very quiet and very new, exceptionally clean and warm with a lovely bathroom and a kitchen included in the living area separate from the bedroom. The kitchen contained a fridge, microwave, and two element cooktop. This meant we could cook our dinner and not have to go out. There was no view of the lake and not really a view of the mountains. Parking is a little tricky and the first night we parked on the street and someone else's van was parked directly in front of the ranch slider of our unit. I like a firm flat bed and so did not like the bed. My husband had no problem with it.

Apartment was okay, tidy and clean, but the furniture was old and the vinyl cover on the sofa kept rubbing off and attaching to the clothes. Bathroom lacked a simple shelf over the sink to be able to store toileteries.

After our previously booked accommodation cancelled on us, we booked here. For what we paid, it was very basic in comparison to the other homes we've stayed on our holiday.

Stayed in Lake Tekapo and planned to do Hooker track early the next morning. Property location good but amenities lacking. Only one washcloth for 2 adults for 2 nights. Lots of large group tourists in surrounding areas. Felt like sprawling hostels. Very noisy.
