    The lodge had fine views and a great location near Lake Tekapo. Our room was clean, cosy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing us with valuable information about road closures. We were really surprised by the affordable price and the warm shower.

    Amazing view from common area, right on the lake. Staff offered to drive us to the bus stop. Lovely lounge with fire, well-stocked kitchen. Grateful for the upgrade to our own bathroom and kitchen with stunning lake view. Great value for price and ideal location for Tekapo Springs.

    Had a decent stay on my city break. the room was cozy and had a good selection of toiletries. the location was prime with great views and easy access to nearby attractions. the staff were also accommodating to my requests.

    The room had limited storage space and the WiFi was not included in the room which was inconvenient. the walls were very thin and noise from neighboring rooms was easily heard, making it difficult to sleep at times.

    The hotel provides excellent value for money with its spacious rooms and well-equipped kitchen. The location by the waterfront offers stunning views of the snowy mountains against the lake. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel welcome throughout your stay.

    Everything was great and there is nothing significant to improve upon.

    A great backpacker facility, at a good price and with a stunning lake view located just a few steps away. The room was cozy and comfortable. Complementary facilities of the hostel were in great condition, especially the kitchen area - there were enough pots, cutlery, plates and everything was clean, so it was perfect for us to make our meals. Plus, the location was easily accessible from public transport, making our travel so much easier.

    The Wi-Fi service was only available for purchase, and even though we bought it, the connection kept disconnecting, so it was frustrating to keep logging in. , it was noisy in the evenings and nights due to large groups of backpackers, so sleeping was slightly disturbed.

    This hotel is located right on the lakefront, offering stunning views of the water. The rooms, although a bit small with two bunk beds crammed in, provide a cozy atmosphere with the added bonus of a fireplace. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure your stay is comfortable. Moreover, the breakfast provided is a great start to the day.

    All was up to par.

    I had a really pleasant stay at this lodge. The bed was comfortable and sturdy, ensuring a good night's sleep. The hostel was also pretty clean, which I appreciated. Additionally, the location was great as it was close to the village and had parking available. The environment and view of the Lake Tekapo were also stunning. I would recommend this hotel for a short stay.

    This hotel is located far away from the front street, giving it a peaceful atmosphere. the room service was exceptional, with the breakfast being a delicious highlight. And with stunning views, it's hard to find anything not to love about this hotel. There were plenty of leisure facilities that kept us occupied all day long. We also noticed that the hotel had excellent accessibility features for those with physical handicaps, which was much appreciated.

    This hotel provided great value for money with its affordable prices. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with the bonus of a fireplace in some and stunning lake views. The location, right on the lakefront, was perfect and allowed for easy access to the town center and attractions like The Church of the Good Shepherd.

    No major issues, everything was satisfactory.

    This hotel is a hidden gem by the waterfront, offering breathtaking views of the lake. The rooms are cozy and well-maintained, some even feature a fireplace for a touch of homeliness. I loved our room with a view, allowing us to wake up to the serene beauty of Lake Tekapo. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel's basic amenities were sufficient, and the breakfast had a good variety of options to start the day.

    All was great, nothing to improve.

    The location was stunning, with Lake Tekapo just across the street. We were able to enjoy beautiful views from our cabin. the shops, restaurants, and attractions were all within a short walking distance, making it convenient for us. the facilities were clean and well-maintained, with small but efficient heaters in the rooms. the lounge area offered amazing views of the lake, and the kitchen had all the necessary equipment for cooking.

    Felt so welcome, no complaints at all.
