A uniquely styled pioneer cottage with a rustic appearance of largely natural timber construction. Set in mature park-like grounds on the bank of the Scott Canal, Lake Tekapo the cottage captures all day sun, yet is very sheltered. The Doctor's Retreat is situated in an amazing location 150m from the Church of the Good Shepherd, lake front, and close to the village. It is fully self-contained and sleeps four people. One queen bedroom with ensuite, and a twin room with separate bathroom.The bathrooms have under-tile heating. It comes complete with a cosy log burner, and electric heating for those chilly but beautiful winter days. There is a clothes dryer in the outside shed and a carport. The house is double glazed throughout. Free high-speed wifi, and SkyTV. Chromecast is also available. The property is strictly no smoking, internally and externally. Tekapo can, at times, be a high fire risk and our house is wooden. Thank you for respecting this. Children aged 12 and over are welcome. Note, ** all bookings require a 20% non-refundable deposit of the total booking value **
