Past guests say ...

Lovely stay in Tekapo for our ski group. Beautiful accommodation, clean & warm with a stunning view out to the mountains! Responsive host & easy check-in process – thanks ☺️.

Izzy – Aug 2024

Amazing stay at lake Tekapo. Situated in a peaceful and quiet area with beautiful views of the mountains. The house is super close to local shops + activities. The house itself was comfortable and modern (we loved the fireplace). Thank you.

Mariah – Aug 2024

Love staying in this house.  Great staff at the office with clear instructions to check in. Love they have grill stove at the balcony, the tennis table in the garage and the large table to dine outside with a stunning view. LOVE LOVE LOVE how you can simply stargaze at the balcony without all the hassle. Amazing stay. Would definitely recommend!

Chow – Oct 2023

An absolutely perfect home in a mind-blowing location. View is spectacular, and town is an easy walking distance. The local supermarket is very well stocked. Perfectly suited our two families. We felt right at home.

Brilliant place – really awesome spot!

Darcy – Dec 2022

We loved our stay at Bivouac! This was the nicest house that we’ve stayed in on our New Zealand trip! The porch has a beautiful view of the lake and mountains and is perfect for sunset. We made lots of use of the grill and outside dining table. The showers are amazing and all of the rooms had very comfortable beds.
