Fun experience
It was a very unexpected interesting experience. I almost mistakenly thought it was a nice college dorm. Love cooking together with other guests, and dining with a beautiful lake view.

Room was clean and cozy. The shower was a bit too small to use comfortably. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is right on the lake and there is a lounge and dining hall that offer stunning views. Would recommend visiting the Dark Sky Project which is directly next door.

一部の宿泊客がキッチンを雑に使っていたがスタッフによって毎日清掃されとても快適でした。バックパッカーでは安いし仕方ないよねといつもは諦めることでしたが、ここでは不快になることがありませんでした。 眺めも良く、キッチンからすぐに外に出れ、目の前のテカポ湖で朝日や夕陽を見れるのはとても素晴らしい経験でした。 スーパーやカフェに歩いてすぐに行ける立地でこの値段で泊まれたのは満足です。
