Lake Tekapo Apartments

We were back in Tekapo to try our luck again with the Dark Sky Project and chose to stay at the MacKenzie Suites this year - wish I had found them last year as they are lovely! We had an amazing view of the lake and location is great - a short drive or medium walk down to the town. We loved the gas fire that covered the bedroom and the living room. Super comfy couch and the wee kitchen had everything we needed. There is a washing machine and dryer in the room and off street parking. The view of the night sky is also excellent with very little light pollution. The bathroom is great with underfloor heating, big walk-in shower and deep bath for soaking in. Wish we could have stayed longer!

This place has everything you would ever want! The kitchen is overstocked with every cooking need that a regular home has. It has a garage for your car, a washer & dryer in your apartment, a cute fireplace, books, King bed with ensuite, a second bedroom with 2 single beds plus another bathroom. There are added touches, like slippers on your bed, coffee, tea, salt & pepper, olive oil. It's close to the lake and in a very quiet area. Loved this place!!

Easy check in, very friendly, accommodating staff. Mantra was perfect for a family stay. There was plenty of room for the family, a good outside space and the garage in the middle of winter was fantastic. The upstairs heating in the bedrooms was amazing. However downstairs - main living, tv, kitchen, dining room was freezing. The gas fire was ineffective in the negative temperatures and even with an extra heater (which we requested), we were cold when downstairs. They have everything needed for a stay - full kitchen, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Staff were great.

Parking is very convenient, the clerk's attitude is very good, ten minutes drive to the town center, not far from the red dot of the network, the inside is very clean, there is no taste at all, it is very suitable for passing by.

At The Quarters, exceptional service and top-notch amenities create a memorable experience for guests. Complimentary internet access is available in the apartment to ensure you stay connected during your visit.Due to health concerns, smoking is strictly prohibited within the entire premises of apartment.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, and we had a decent view from a ground floor apartment. I agree with other reviews though - I’d request an upstairs apartment if we ever had the opportunity to return. Upstairs neighbors were quite loud (which is not the owners’ fault) and I think than an unobstructed view would’ve been lovely. We did love staying here though, as it was a beautiful place and a good home base for hiking at Aoraki/Mount Cook NP. If you’re jet lagged, make sure you go outside to check out the stars. They were absolutely beautiful here!

The room is relatively clean. It is equipped with a kitchen because it is a homestay. There are various tableware and kitchenware in the kitchen. You can cook your own food. It is wider than the house in front, so you can free up some space to see the mountains in the distance. The environment is very beautiful. I found a small pond in front.

Responded quite fast when we requested for a baby cot and certain amenities but they do not provide adapter.

House is modern and clean . We enjoyed the stay .
