The female dorm room (4) was awesome. There were plenty of outlets to charge devices, plenty of storage for each person's luggage, comfy and spotless beds, and the room was super warm in winter! The hostel is quiet and modern, with gorgeous views across Lake Tekapo and a brilliant lounge with beanbags and sofas overlooking the view. The staff were super lovely and helpful. The bathrooms and kitchen were very clean. The location is right in the centre of the town near to the supermarket and Dark Sky Project centre.

The room is very new and beautiful. It was raining when I first arrived. I curled up on the sofa with a blanket, reading and listening to music. It was very comfortable. You can walk to the Church of the Good Shepherd. There are restaurants and supermarkets in the center of the town. There are beautiful views along the lake. The kitchen is fully equipped and convenient for cooking. I had a very wonderful two days here.

Absolutely, a wonderful place during the trip in Tekapo, which has spacious room and built-in kitchen that is easy to cook for yourself because the nearest fourth-quarter market is just 10 minutes walk. It’s a self-service hotel and very easy to check in after you get your password from your e-mail to access in your ordered separate house. You can just walk away and enjoy the stunning view and food just alongside the small street.

Great little place to stay at during our visit to Lake Tekapo. With a quiet neighbourhood and beautiful views. It snowed while we were there, which was fantastic! We found the place to be nice and warm and the bed to be comfortable as well as the bathroom is great! Downsides were that some of the dishes were not clean, which put us off. Also someone had cooked curry in the microwave so it stunk out the microwave as well as half of the place smelt of curry. I would love to stay here again but expect that since a cleaning fee is paid that the placed is cleaned better.

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.

Self-service check-in, the room is very new and clean, well-equipped, you can also cook here, it is close to supermarkets and the center of the town, the surrounding environment is very quiet, it is a very worthwhile stay experience. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Recommended
Very satisfied. You can clearly see the Milky Way and the Southern Cross and other constellations in the open space outside the door. You can take pictures with a tripod! Although it is winter, it is not cold when the heating is turned on! The kitchen supplies are also relatively complete, and the seasonings include salt and sugar. It is great to cook dinner by yourself!

The hotel is located just 3 to 4 minutes' drive from the Shepherd Church, but there are many similar B&B hotels around. It is recommended to check in during the day. It is very dark at night and it is easy to find the wrong place.
The hotel facilities are very new, with cooking equipment and even an induction cooker for making hot pot. The room was clean and the owner was very considerate, including blankets and a telescope for stargazing.
Cars can be parked in the open space next to the hotel.
There is a washing machine available (placed in a public space)
Overall 10 points satisfied, I will choose to stay here again next time.
By the way, the paintings in the room are beautiful.

Booked 1 night accommodation through an on-line booking site (Expedia). Unfortunately there was a problem with the booking in that they hadn't included my child in the booking so the accommodation booked (motel room) could only accommodate 2 people. Thankfully the staff were fantastic and managed to find us an alternative option for no extra cost. The cabin we stayed in was fantastic and the place has undergone a massive upgrade since we last stayed here in 2011. The cabin was clean, cosy and we had everything we needed for our staff. Great BBQ available outside of the cabin which we made use of for dinner & brekkie and location is superb. An adventure when travelling with a 6 year old as accommodation felt very safe. (lots of families around due to scholl holidays). Easy 5 min stroll to Tekapo Hot Springs. Would recommend and advise to just book directly with the accommodation rather than an on-line secondary service.

AAh ZhuanDefinitely can stay here! Everything was perfect self check in with clear instructions. Love the bed, super comfortable. Lucky to saw aurora outside of our room
JjhoannaWe 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!
TTrace yeoThis is a cute little boutique hotel situated near to Lake Tekapo and 15 mins drive to Mount John. It is good location as it is very near to the city centre where many shops, restaurants and a big supermarket are located. The service of this hotel is tip top and they serve breakfast to your room on a daily basis so we can eat while enjoying the lake view . Breakfast is great as well and I would like to give special comment about this hotel staff (Yvonne) who is very helpful and friendly and made good recommendation where to visit around Lake Tekapo. The room although not too big but it has a starlight which we can gaze the stars from the bed, it is quite interesting (but the room has to be in complete darkness). It is also near to the Church of the good shepherd and the view is so spectacular sitting just beside the lake.
FFayreWe 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.
CCharmaine S—-Pros:
Everything was clean.
There was ample heating.
Relatively near the main tekapo area (1 min drive).
House was spacious.
Cons:
The wifi password was handwritten badly and it was a guessing game to get the password. Also uncontactable via email.
No barricade around the house and there’s other houses right next door. People could walk by your room / house windows and peer in. Which was what happened to me twice. Zero privacy unless curtains are fully drawn.
GGuest UserThe location is such that it takes about 5-7 minutes to drive to the lake.
If you walk there, it will take about 25 minutes.
However, compared with other surrounding hotels, the price/performance ratio is too poor. I highly recommend the Lake Blue Water Hotel.
Maybe it’s because of the peak tourist season, so the cost is very high and the experience is very poor.
It is similar to domestic prefabricated houses, but the facilities inside are much more complete than domestic prefabricated houses.
Overall, not recommended
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.
HHappykeyThe scenery outside the window is stunning, with a view of the lake and snow-capped mountains. It is very relaxing to enjoy it quietly with a cup of coffee in the morning. You can see the stars while sitting indoors at night without fear of freezing weather. The overall facilities are complete and tidy. There are two bathrooms in the house, which is very convenient. Plenty of hot water. There is a private parking space. Will stay again.
