Lake Tekapo

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic property with wonderful views! Very well equipped and great attention to detail including g a box of matches for the T-lights above the beautiful bath. Only minor issue was one soap dispenser at the wash-hand basin which had to be used for that, the bath and the shower. It would have been helpful to have another separate soap dispenser for the shower/bath and two hand-towels rather than one.
