Wayfarers Lodge

The location is very quiet, cozy, and relaxing. It is conveniently located near the beautiful Lake Tekapo, which was one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed stargazing at night at Wayfarer so do the Lake Tekapo and were so impressed by the scenery that we visited the church again the following morning. The property was easy to find using Google Maps or Waze. Other than that, the check-in process was smooth, and our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We would happily recommend this place to others visiting the area.

However, locating the key box was a bit challenging, as we were not aware that there was another studio nearby, which led us to initially go to the wrong location. As a result, it took us about 10 minutes to find and retrieve the key.

The cabin was very well made n designed. It was cosy and comfortable. The bedrooms were good,the living are was very good. The house has very good ventilation. The kitchen is well equipped. We get the view of the Lake tekapo from the Patio outside..n it looks amazing.. There is lots of space on the patio to enjoy the views with your family and a cup of tea / coffee.. Its very peaceful. The house is 5 mins drive from the Lake & the Centre..where all the eateries and shops are located.

The house can get very hot and stuffy on a hot day. They have AirConditioning only in the living area. The rooms dont even have a fan. We could'nt sleep well the first night. But as per the Host's suggestion we kept the windows open and the weather cooled down at night which cooled the whole house down quite well. Still, this can be an issue. The room with bunk beds was too cramped. Some lights were not working..which is an easy fix.

The outdoor space is expansive with great views

It was difficult to find the key and get the door unlocked. There are so many cabinets it was frustrating to look for kitchen items. The walls in the house are unfinished and look like ply wood. The furnishings don’t many the appeal of the home’s exterior.
