Inspired by a Norwegian chalet, Creel House is a distinctive Tekapo property with a character and history all its own.
Occupying an elevated 600sqm (more or less) freehold section, this substantial residence offers approximately 258sqm of spacious living across three levels, combining warmth, character and versatility with exceptional views across Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains.
Having operated as a Bed and Breakfast throughout its history, with its layout providing an ideal balance between private living and guest accommodation.
The downstairs ground floor area has traditionally served as the owners' private residence, comprising two bedrooms, a kitchen, dining area and comfortable living room, laundry, bathroom and storage offering independence and separation from the guest accommodation above.
The upper two levels provide generous accommodation, featuring two bedrooms, bathrooms, separate laundry, a kitchen with a new wood burner and an expansive main living room opening onto a large wraparound balcony. An inviting space to relax or entertain while taking in the remarkable lake and mountain outlook and to view the night sky.
The top floor adds another dimension, with a versatile living area opening onto its own balcony, capturing what could arguably be one of the finest views in Tekapo. From this elevated position, sweeping views across the lake, township and surrounding alpine landscape provide a truly memorable setting.
With its longstanding Bed and Breakfast heritage, flexible configuration and sought-after location, Creel House presents an opportunity to continue its established bed and breakfast tradition, it presents an option to pivot to the lucrative Airbnb style accommodation option or enjoy the property as a substantial private residence or holiday home.
Whether it's the distinctive chalet-inspired architecture, the flexibility of the accommodation or the spectacular outlook, Creel House offers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find.
A home full of character, offering plenty of potential and a unique connection to the history of Lake Tekapo.
