No word other than “Gorgeous” brings up into your mind when depicting Lake Tekapo, a small town surrounded by South Alps snow-capped mountains. The lake, Lupin flower, snow mountain, church, sunset, moonlight, stars even various birds and hares cannot just be simply described by inks and pens, you will only be able to understand its charm by spending a few nights here. Located at the gorgeous lakefront, the old and elegant villa- Tekapo 1929 has been situated there as time moved on. It was first built from1928 to 1929. During the last nine decades, the house has witnessed the town’s changes through ages. Anyone familiar with the local history will tell you that Tekapo 1929 is the oldest residence in the area. Our intention has always been to preserve its original style, including the decor, fixtures, and furniture, so that every guest can not only enjoy the views of Tekapo but also experience a glimpse of its past. Tekapo 1929 offers a prime lakefront location to enjoy the panoramic view of shimmering turquoise Lake and majestic mountains. You can simply sit and watch the dreamlike sky in the morning, rosy sunset at dusk, dazzling starlight at night, or feeling the rotations of seasons, colorful Lupin in summer and snowy ridge in winter. Apart from the million-dollars view, Tekapo 1929 also provides you with great convenience. Short walk distance to the Church of Good Shepherd and the heart of village where you can find different shops, restaurants and an array of outdoor activities. Please note: As a historic villa, we have divided it into three sections(Braemar, Starry Unit and Pennscroft) to allow more people to experience and enjoy everything it has to offer.

The hotel sign is not obvious. You need to pay attention to it to find out. Uncle Maori called me by the name and checked in for me because I stayed two nights and upgraded my suite with living room, dining room, kitchen, and 2 bedrooms. Just leave the key on the door when you leave
The hotel is right next to the lake, with beautiful scenery and superb lake views, and the starry sky at night.
The car is parked in the hotel, free of charge throughout the day, 🈶️ 2 queen beds, bath products, hair dryer, kettle, microwave, stove, towels, slippers, no toothpaste and toothbrush. The New Zealand steak is good, and I cook it every night for dinner. There is free coffee and tea bags, and drinking coffee every day feels good.
Just walk past the Church of the Good Shepherd, just go out to the lake, and check the starry sky at the Church of the Good Shepherd at night. It ’s beautiful! It's not far to the shops and supermarkets by car, it should be 10 minutes on foot
The hotel does not include breakfast. I made sandwiches myself and checked out at 10 am

Inside the house, you'll find some small items used by the first owner, still placed as they were. Time has changed the people, but the house remains, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of both life and nature.

Lake tekapo is just behind the hotel. Very convenient for you walk to the lake. The room is good for 2 peoples. Heater really useful because lake tekapo temperature is quite low and cold. Front desk customer service also quite friendly and helpful. They try arrange the room side by side each for my friends and us. We had a ground floor, so that we do not need to carry luggage go up the staircase

The hotel is great, with two floors, spacious and bright rooms, clean and sanitary. The first floor is the living room and dining room, with an open kitchen. The tableware is complete, and there is a fireplace, which must be very warm in winter. There are many TV programs, and you don't need a Netflix membership to watch them directly. In addition, there are many children's educational toys. There is also a private garden. The second floor is the bedroom, and there is a small balcony where you can sit on the balcony and bask in the sun. This kind of room is very suitable for a family vacation, but it's a pity that I only stayed for one night, and I should have stayed longer.

Check in by yourself, the boss is Chinese, you can communicate in Chinese, the location is very quiet and not noisy
But the bed was soft, especially on the side, it collapsed, and the roof often made noises. The room was affixed to the sound of wood heat and cold. I thought it was an animal fighting on the roof.
