Retro Inn #2 is a warm, sunny classic ‘kiwi’ holiday home with plenty of character. A cosy living area opens onto a small deck with outdoor seating and views of Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains. An internal staircase leads up to the main queen bedroom on a mezzanine floor. Two more bedrooms are on the main floor, along with the bathroom, which includes a shower over the bathtub.
The home is kept cosy with a log burner & heatpump, while the fully equipped kitchen allows you to easily prepare your own meals. Alternatively wander down to the village centre eateries & shops to enjoy a wonderful selection of food.
Located on a quiet street just a short walk (approx. 10 mins) to the lakefront, the iconic Church of the Good Shepherd and numerous walkways. The garage underneath is great for storage of ski gear in winter.

Spacious, clean, and extremely cosy! Love the ambiance and amenities, plus the location is great with a beautiful view. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in the surrounding region.

The accommodation was warm and comfortable for the four of us with enough space so we weren’t tripping over each other. The views were great to wake up to. The place was well equipped for our needs. There was a big group of us so being able to rent the two houses side by side was a bonus.

Perfect lake Tekapo stay. Nice lake views from a balcony. Has everything you need. CD collection is on point though! Turn it on as soon as you walk in to create nice chill vibes. 5/5, def recommend.

This is a cute retro stay! The fire is fantastic and the kitchen has everything you need. Yes the place creaks as the temperature changes, but this adds to its charm and it didn’t bother us. Beautiful mountain views – loved waking up to see the sun rise over the mountains from the mezzanine bedroom.
