Featuring garden views, Mount Cook Station Shearers Quarters Lodge in Lake Tekapo features accommodation, a garden, barbecue facilities and a shared lounge. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the campground free of charge. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the picnic area, or enjoy views of the mountain and river.

A truly exceptional place. Shearers quarters from 1900 given modern update but without losing any of the character. Crisp linen on really comfortable beds in absolute quiet. The drive there along a gravel road give the best views of Mt Cook that you will see. Kitchen modern and stocked like home Lovely meeting Alana and hearing about life on the farm and bringing up a family.. Wonderful.. Not to be missed.

    Beautiful, spacious house for the whole family of 6. Well equipped kitchen, basic pantry supplies are provided each day. Everything was very clean and appliances were in good condition. All facilities provided are neatly documented so that we could make use of them. We had really comfortable stay in the house

    Quiet away from the bustle of Tekapo. Lovely to sit on the deck with a barbecue and look at the mountain tops. Spacious, light filled, with everything on hand that could be needed. Susan

    The little Starview 88 Apartment was very clean, very quiet and very comfortable. The kitchette is well supplied with basic cooking needs. It was cold while we were there and the unit was very warm . Just around the corner of the unit and still on Mistake drive is a small walking track up to the top of Cowans Hill - which gives a great view of the lake and surrounding mountains.
