Everything you need for a comfortable stay

Roto Cottage is a modern two bedroom cottage sleeping up to four guests, thoughtfully designed to provide the comfort and convenience of home while you enjoy everything Lake Tekapo has to offer.

The light-filled open plan living, dining and kitchen area creates a relaxed space to unwind, while the fully equipped kitchen gives guests the freedom to cook and dine at home. Two comfortable bedrooms, quality bedding and a quiet setting make it easy to rest after a day exploring the Mackenzie region.

The cottage is warm, modern and immaculately maintained, with heating and air conditioning, complimentary Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, private parking and an outdoor area from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape and night sky.

Best of all, Roto Cottage puts you within easy walking distance of Lake Tekapo, the village centre, cafés, restaurants and supermarket. Everything that makes Lake Tekapo wonderful is a stones throw away.
