Myself and my partner have just finished a working holiday in New Zealand and part of this was spent in Lake Tekapo. When we first arrived there we stayed in a hostel and we were really struggling to find a place to live for a couple of months. Someone told us about this B and B and so we popped... More

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by our experience at Freda du Faur. Barry & Dawn were truly exceptional and very entertaining hosts. The room was clean and pleasant, and breakfast was quite yummy. And Bess, their dog, was so friendly, sweet and loving! It really was a highlight of our South Island tour, and we would go back...

A very well appointed B & B with friendly hosts. Dawn & Barry generously share their home and make their guests feel like welcomed friends.

On arrival, we were met by Dawn who promptly offered a much-needed cup of tea and some very useful tourist information. We stayed in a double room with... More

The house has a copule of pets. A fairly lazy cat and a very friendly black labrador. You will be made very welcome here and will... More
