Best Lake Tekapo Hotels

We chose the upstairs family room with a view, we were not disappointed, a view straight down the lake, wow. The beds were comfortable, we had enough room for all of us, kitchen was adequate and the large bathroom was good. The lady in reception was very helpful with recommendations for dinner, breakfast, activities not just in Tekapo but around the MacKenzie Country. We have recommended this place to family and friends already, you will not be disappointed.

The lodge is in a beautiful location overlooking the lake and a short walk to town. The room was spacious and airy with large glass doors filling the room with light. There was space to sit outside to enjoy the view. The room was spotless and well equipped. There was a large bathroom. A suggestion would be to have bulk toiletries rather than the waste of little plastic bottles. Staff were friendly and helpful.

clean,good location,comfortable,many rooms,worth recommending

Parking beside the road. Self Checkin so need to arrange in advance to get the door access. The room a bit small but the facilities in room very new. Checking out on the dot as it’s peak season. Clothes still very wet after one round cotton function on dryer.

The house itself is very complete and new, but far from the lake, there is no lake view, and unfortunately, the day we went, it happened to catch up with the power outage in the town, there were no candles, and the emergency measures without lighting were a bit unacceptable!

The kitchen is fully equipped, making it very convenient to cook by yourself, and the room is clean and tidy

The place is relatively remote and the facilities are simple.

We booked late, arrived even later but check in was so simple with a code for the digital door lock. A newly built residence, well appointed for families with 4 bedrooms, parking for 2 vehicles, very warm and cosy. Another plus, Two living areas so kids can settle and watch tv or play games in one whilst adults socialise in the main living area. Plenty of heating, plenty of blankets, no-one was cold. Highly recommend!

We are couple with a 5 year old girl. We paid SGD697.85 (Singapore dollar) for staying 2 nights in this “2 bedroom apartment” as stated. 3 points here to explain the terrible experience. 1. tv remote is not working. I don’t mind the owner making excuse like “ replied customer’s message within 20mins…..” but they actually took 29mins to reply (19:10 till 19:39). In fact, they didn’t manage to change the tv remote in the end. So I stayed 2 nights without using the TV! 2.there is no clear and obvious description that this “2 bedroom apartment” is actually an adjoining unit which means when u walked into the front door then there are 2 doors link to split parts of the apartment. The problem of adjoining units are thin walls are used to split the apartment into 2 small units. When u stay in this kind of apartment, u have to endure all kind of noises from whoever staying in neighboring rooms. We had 2 days enduring guesting from the other room shouting, slamming the door, kids screaming like crazy both early in the morning and afternoon! 3. When I reflect this bad experience with trip.com customer service, this hotel responded like they have no fault at all and played with words. This attitude makes us feel like being fooled. We paid money to expect to stay in an apartment with privacy and quiet environment but indeed we had such a bad experience! In this market, if it’s an adjoining unit, they should not charge at the rate as if it’s an entire apartment. I’m alright that they rejected to refund the extra amount they charged. Just have to reflect the facts in the review. Thanks.

What an amazing place! This is a new property located about half a mile up from the village of Tekapo with lovely views over the mountains. We stayed in the one bedroom apartment and were bowled over by how well equipped it was, how new and clean everything was and how the owner had clearly labelled where things were. The bathroom (shower only) was terrific and clean and big. The living area had a kitchen with a hob, microwave (no oven), fridge, coffee table, settee, desk for working, dining table, large screen TV, excellent free Wi-Fi and good heating. There were also lots of storage areas. The bedroom had a good double bed in it. Free car parking outside. Altogether a lovely place - and good value, although quite pricy at £315 for two nights.
