The Neighborhood:

Set in the peaceful Burkes Pass area near Lake Tekapo, this cottage offers a quiet countryside feel with beautiful alpine surroundings, open skies, and a relaxed village atmosphere. It is a lovely spot for guests who want to slow down, enjoy nature, and still be within easy reach of Lake Tekapo’s main attractions.



Spend your mornings with coffee on the porch, enjoy the spacious front yard, or head out for scenic drives through the Mackenzie region. Lake Tekapo village, the lakefront, local cafés, restaurants, walking spots, and stargazing experiences are all an easy drive away.



This is a great base for guests wanting a calm retreat after exploring the lake, mountains, hot pools, walking trails, and the wider Mackenzie Country.

A car is highly recommended for this location, as the property is set in a peaceful area outside the main village centre. Guests will have access to a spacious driveway for convenient onsite parking.



Driving is the easiest way to reach Lake Tekapo village, nearby attractions, restaurants, grocery stops, and scenic viewpoints. The surrounding roads are ideal for relaxed day trips, whether you are heading toward Lake Tekapo, Mount Cook, Twizel, Fairlie, or other beautiful parts of the Mackenzie region.



Public transport options are limited in the area, so having your own vehicle will make your stay much easier and more flexible.

We understand that accidents can happen. To help protect the space and ensure a worry-free stay, all reservations require either a damage waiver or a safety deposit.

review it and we may consider waving the requirement based on your coverage.
