Great stay at Tekoa Lodge

The property is great and had everything we needed and more… except perhaps a roll of paper towel, so that’s not a complaint! The owner communicated and answered questions well. The kids enjoyed the yard, the walk down to the river was very nice. It was a very comfortable stay. I’d stay there again without any hesitation.

Tekoa Lodge was perfect for our family ski trip. House is very warm with the woodburner going. Lots of space inside and out. Very short drive to the mountain. The private bush track down the river is also very cool. We would certainly stay again. Oh, and David is an excellent communicator.

Great place, almost perfect

Really nice spot in nature, clean and tidy house. David was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions.One thing would be another rental nearby so not completely secluded but we barely saw them so not a real issue at all!

Great Family Stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights here. Ideal property for a family getaway. Plenty of room for my wife and I, our 3 daughters, their partners and our 2 grandchildren. The lodge has everything you need with so much room for everybody to stretch out. David, the host, was great to deal with and made it clear he was happy to be contacted, if required, at any time. Even offered a late checkout if we wanted. A great break that we all enjoyed!

We stayed for three nights at the lodge a family of 10. Perfect location and beautiful outdoor area. Basic, but comfortable and with good bedrooms. Perhaps worth mentioning that all the bedrooms are on the first floor and all bathrooms on the ground floor.There were quite a few minor issues that all together made the stay less comfortable: an old fridge with a door that didn't shut properly, a dishwasher not working, a bbq that didn't work properly, a broken vacuum cleaner. All easy fixes, but things you expect to work for the money you pay. Very easy communication with the host and we would be happy to come back if a few basic improvements were made.

This was our first ‘extended’ family trip. Eight of us in total, 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 2, 6, 9, 15). The house and outside area was fantastic and fit for purpose. There was plenty of room so we didn’t feel on top of each other. Fantastically stocked kitchen, has every utensil and pot you’d need. Enough beds/bedrooms and bathrooms. Lovely big lounge area and the outside was a dream! Enjoyed the walk to the stream and the swing seat and see-saw kept the younger kids entertained. Lovely and close to the mountain as well. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our weekend. Thanks David.

Great place for a getaway

A great place to stay and just escape, surrounded by native bush, so peaceful. Plenty of space, great to be able to relax on the deck or breakfast with nature. Highly recommended, we're already planning another visit. Thanks David.
