Star Cottages are just a 6-minute walk from Lake Tekapo's main area where you can enjoy the stunning view of the lake and restaurants nearby.
Star Cottages are under new management. You will be hosted by Phil and Megan who own Burkes Pass Country Motel. We are a small team of just two people and enjoy what we do. Phil also does behind the scenes work for TLV and Blue Lake {both are restaurants}. Phil and Megan both do admin for the Motel and Star Cottages as well as all the cleaning. We have two Daughters and a Granddaughter. We live in Burke Pass. We are looking forward to being the new managers for this property.
Located in the township of Lake Tekapo these two units are close enough to still walk into the town but far enough out to not be in the hustle and bustle of the township. It has some fencing so that you can sit and relax after a long day after travel. The neighbourhood consists of Accommodation for staff and as well as Holiday homes.
