Lake Tekapo Cottages was opened in 1985.. by Harry and Jackie Hunter, who first built it from nothing into the busy small business it is today. They built their own house here, followed by the "Eastwing" adjacent to the house and also the "Pottingshed Studio". the Pottingshed was indeed used to "throw" pots and the remains of the original red brick hand fired kiln can be seen beside it. Later they purchased the adjacent "Rowan Cottage" built in 1954 as a fishermans retreat. Since 2002 all the older buildings have undergone extensive renovations, and three new cottages have been built . The new "Honeymoon Suite", the "Tui" and the "Pines". The new additions have been built to the highest standards aimed to make them warm in winter and cool in summer. The cottages are laid out a large garden, and many new trees planted to compliment the already large number of older trees close by. Older trees, especially deciduous trees, are a rarity in the Mackenzie Country, and this it what gives the Lake Tekapo Cottages its unique atmosphere. Quiet, Private, Relaxing. Whether you plan to stay for a few days to explore the area, or only a short stop, you feel yourself relaxing as you enjoy this tranquil place. The cottages are now being managed by Stephen Hunter and his partner Amina.

Lake Tekapo Cottages are situated about 2 minutes walk from the Church of the good Shepard near the lake shore, and about 3-4 minutes walk to the village shops. They have close mountain views and are very private, sheltered, and quiet. We are lucky to be surrounded by older trees, some of them close by are more than 150 years old, probably the oldest trees in Tekapo and McKenzie Basin.
