This was a really nice lakeside property with excellent amenities for a holiday park. Fair warning, this is mostly for RV campers, with shared bathroom and kitchen facilities. But the staff were very helpful with everything and we loved our stay. Highly recommend if traveling to Lake Tekapo for a couple days or even just one night!
