    "Little Birch" was a wonderful vacation home for us. Modern furnishings, good WiFi, very well equipped, flooded with light and clean. The location is also ideal: walking distance to the famous chapel on the lake, as well as to all the restaurants in the village. Nevertheless, it was quiet at night. A clear recommendation from us.

    It could’ve been a nice stay, but I happened to catch them out by chance. THEY DON’T CHANGE THE BEDDING BETWEEN GUESTS. And according to Greg, owner of Book Tekapo, ‘every holiday home company in New Zealand’ does this. Apparently its industry standard to not fully change bedding between bookings. Book Tekapo manage over 50 holiday properties in the area, so beware if you’re looking around Lake Tekapo. Please read more below!
