"the kids loved the games shed. The house was good and we had everything we needed. Unfortunately Mt Dobson closed for the season a few days before we arrived which was disappointing but we still had a good holiday. Bring your golf clubs as the golf club doesnt hire any gear."

Nice quiet town. Friendly people. Good shops. Best pies ever at the Bakehouse bakery. Close to Tekapo springs and much nicer to stay than commercialised Tekapo, which at the time was undergoing lakefront construction work.
