"This is NOT a rating about Tekapo Blue Cottage or its Owner! This is about me booking this property on Expedia, them confirming my booking and when I arrived in New Zealand to this property it was already occupied by another couple and I was then sent another address and property that was NOTHING similar to what I actually booked. Expedia has only offered me a $25 One Key cash credit. Don’t Trust Expedia when booking this property! Contact the Owner direct! Fix the problem Expedia and hold...

In the shoulder season the pools are very quiet. Since they're hot, it really doesn't matter what the weather does.
