We had a nice time in Lake Tekapo while staying at the Alpine View Burke’s Pass property. The house is decorated beautifully and we enjoyed seeing the animals! We were also grateful to have a washer and dryer. There was lots of hair, debris and crumbs of food on the floors. We tried looking for a vacuum but there wasn’t one. Our little one kept picking up the hair and food crumbs that were there before our arrival. We tried to contact the host, but the wifi shut off after about an hour so we couldn’t get in touch. This property is located on a busy road, and on a downward hill, so the large trucks were constantly pulling their loud engine breaks. We didn’t sleep the first night. If you’re a light sleeper, bring some earplugs along. As BnB hosts ourselves, we know it takes a lot of work and we did appreciate the little things like the packets of tea and the cookies! We also were happy to have access to a portable baby cot.
