Araki is an older 'kiwi bach‘ which has recently been renovated. Set in the heart of Tekapo within easy walking distance of the lake front & village centre. Upstairs is an open plan dining & living area and fully-equipped kitchen, opening out to a sunny with great lake and mountain views. The lower level offers 4 bedrooms, bathroom and a second living area.
We had a fabulous stay here. The house is so comfortable and cosy and just like I remember my childhood holidays in kiwi baches. The sofas are huge and there are loads of them. Everything had a well loved and comfy vibe. Well stocked kitchen and loads of easily accessible firewood. When we had trouble understanding the tv someone was over helping us within five mins, even though it was a Sunday night. We highly recommend this cosy kiwi holiday home.

Great place. Well located for village centre but also quiet and secluded. Good space and facilities downstairs. The upstairs kitchen and lounge are really cosy in a fabulous retro ski lodge style with a great log burner. It’s a lovely place to stay. The guys at the rental office were very friendly and helpful.

Awesome place to kick the feet up for a couple of cold nights. Everything was awesome. The pot belly fire got us nice and cosy. We were able to bring our dog. And they even sent someone down in the morning to give us a jumpstart. Thanks very much.

Great stay and right next to downtown! Was able to walk everywhere and enjoy our stay. House itself was perfect with tons of space and nice bathrooms.

Very charming location and stay. Woke up to snow which was magical. A short walk to the main restaurants and cafes. Very comfortable for a group of six. Thank you so much!

This house was the perfect kiwi bach! All the beds had electric blankets and two wood fires made it super cosy even on a cold night! Lovely place with LOTS of space!!
