Only stayed a few nights, but the room was very nice and comfortable with a great view of Lake Tekapo. I had very busy days while in Lake Tekapo so I only slept in the room; which is a shame because the room would be perfect for spending time relaxing in.

Great location, right across the street from the church of good shepherd. The suite was spacious and modern with beautiful partial view of the lake from living room and bedroom.

Modern, new, nice rooms. Not cheap, but worth the money. 5 minute walk to village and tourist spots (lake, stargazing spot)
Listen to the Food recommendations from the owner, we dont regret it!
If you walk to the hot springs (30-45 Minutes), you will see and pass all tourist spots!

It is a really nice place, spacious room and friendly staff. Only it requires some walks to the center of the town. It became inconvenient if the walk took place in the middle of the night and if we need some quick and hot breakfast in the morning.

This was a perfect stay. Wish we had longer there. One night was not enough. Lovely hosts. Great little town. Views amazing. Go fly with air safaris and ride with Mackenzie trail rides.

Very new motel but the room is not dark at night
Lovely apartment as we had an upgrade. The rooms are accessed from an outside at ground level or a metal balcony on the first. There was a lift. However, as they do night gazing they kept the external lights on all night and there were no blinds or curtains on the widows facing the entrance doors, so the rooms aren’t dark at night. This led to a disturbed night for me as I kept waking up think it was morning. You should be able to have a dark bedroom.
It was in a nice location which was a short walk to the main area.
It is on next to the main road so there was noise from the traffic.
