Tony, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The view was great. Unfortunately, it was cloudy the day we went, so we couldn't see the stars, but we were happy to see Lake Tekapo and the beautiful mountains. It was great that two sides were made of glass, so you should definitely get a lake view. It would be a shame if you didn't get a lake view.
