Situated in Lake Tekapo, Canterbury region, Starlet 11 is located 46 km from Mt. Dobson. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. There is a picnic area and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. We had an amazing stay at Scarlett 11 in Tekapo! The weather was absolutely perfect, allowing us to enjoy a breathtaking sunset right above the accommodation and a stunning view of the stars at night. The entire apartment was impeccably clean, and we especially appreciated the no-shoes policy, which made the space feel even more comfortable and homely. The washing machine worked perfectly—we used it twice—and all necessary cleaning and laundry supplies were thoughtfully provided. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and both the air conditioning and heating systems functioned flawlessly, ensuring a cozy stay. Our parents absolutely loved it, and my sister especially enjoyed running up and down the nearby hills. We also appreciated the convenience of having a hose just outside to wash our car. Plus, the location was fantastic—just a short walk from the town center, where we found the most amazing café. It was truly a memorable stay. Thank you!
