Cairnsmore Studio
Cairnsmore Studio is a thoughtfully designed retreat offering comfort, privacy, and a peaceful base for exploring the Mackenzie region. Ideal for couples or solo travellers, the studio combines modern conveniences with a relaxed alpine atmosphere.
The spacious studio features a comfortable queen bed with high-quality bedding, excellent heating, and plenty of natural light throughout the day. Guests can enjoy a private bathroom, dressing area, lounge space with a TV and Netflix, a practical work-table, and the convenience of an in-unit washing machine. The well-equipped kitchenette includes a microwave, air fryer, rice cooker, and all essential utensils for preparing simple meals. Please note that there is no oven or cooktop. A BBQ is available in your private, sunny courtyard, along with outdoor seating for dining al fresco. A frypan for BBQ cooking is provided, and complimentary milk and cereal are supplied for your first breakfast.
Although attached to the main house, where homeowners Chris and Andy live, the studio is completely private, with its own entrance and off-street parking. Located just a 10-minute walk above the village centre, Cairnsmore Studio provides easy access to Lake Tekapo’s cafés, restaurants, and attractions. The Cairns Golf Course is only a two-minute walk away, while nearby Cairns Tarn is a great spot to see endangered black stilts. You may also spot alpacas and sheep grazing in the surrounding paddocks.
Whether you’re visiting for relaxation, outdoor adventures, or stargazing, Cairnsmore Studio offers a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

Past guests say ...
Andy and Chris’ place is just fabulous! I had another wonderful amazing stay at their beautiful place in Lake Tekapo. It has the perfect views and has everything you could ever possibly need. I really hope I can come back again a third time in the future. Thank you so much.🙏🏻
David – April 2026
Perfect size for a solo traveler or couple. Very tidy and comfortable with a great view of the lake. Everything was very clear and understandable. 10/10
Scott – April 2026
Excellent, spacious cottage studio with a fully stocked kitchenette. We appreciated how clean it was and the strong water pressure in the shower after a full day of hiking was very welcomed! Walkable to town yet in a peaceful neighborhood with excellent views of the lake right from bed!
Jennifer – March 2026
Really nice, clean and cozy house! Located near a golf court with stunning view of lake Tekapo, 10mins walk from intercity bus stop. Easy walk with suitcases. Also a really good place for star gazing, just a couple minutes walk you can find the dark spots.
Chuchu – March 2026
Amazing place to stay right in the heart of Tekapo with everything we could want. Really comfy bed and a great shower. The separate access was perfect for getting up in the night to see the stars and not bothering anyone. Super close to restaurants and the lake, and easy access to walking routes.
Kirsty – March 2026
This place is in a perfect location – just off the main strip so further enough away to not hear the traffic but close enough to still walk to the cafes and the lake. You can see the gorgeous lake and mountains right from the bed! Our first morning we pulled the curtains back to see snow had fallen on the mountains overnight – stunning! At the end of the street is a cute little alpaca farm that we loved passing each day. The continental breakfast was really handy too. My family stayed at 2 different hotels in the region and this place was wayyy better than their accommodation.
