Perfectly positioned

Lovely little room right in Tekapo Village near all the restaurants and shops and the lakefront. Was easy to go down to the lakefront at night to look at the stars.

The property is very central which does mean its was a bit noisy. The accomodation was adequate and clean. There is no daily clean unless you ask which we found a bit odd as we have been all around NZ and it was the first stop that didnt include it. Nice view (just) from balcony.

The property is nice, quiet, beautiful location and very convenient to everything. The room has everything you need to be comfortable. Breakfast is very limited. Nothing special.

This is no more than a three star motel under new management. The place has a very off putting smell. We paid for the breakfast but the cafe (I suspect under new management as well) is 1 star at best, my daughter and I both felt ill after eating here and hotel management refused to let us cash in our remaining vouchers so we could eat at a better place. Financially and logistically I understand this but as an experience it added to the bad taste in our mouths. If you stay here DO NOT get the breakfast.

James at reception was awesome! The process was quick but he took the time to give us some great recommendations for the area. The large penthouse sounds bougie, but it was comfy and spacious - which was great after staying in a few tiny rooms on our journeys. Thanks to all for a fabulous stay! The 30 SECOND walk to meeting tours, dining, drinks and that unbelievably gorgeous lakefront made for lifetime memories!!

The property is in the centre of the town so you can leave your car and walk to all eateries & supermarket. Bring a blackout eye mask as the back door doesn’t have a blind on it so makes the room very bright..

Great clean place, pricy for a motel but unmatched lakeside view of the lake and the glacier behind. It’s easy to walk out to the lake at night to see the stars and directly across the parking lot from dark sky. As others had mentioned the included western breakfast option (eggs and toast) were pretty horrible - McDonald’s style reheated eggs on thin under-toasted white bread. The Chinese meat and noodle soup breakfast looked delicious but noticed too late to ask if that was included in the room voucher.

Excellent location. Walking distance to Lake Tekapo and Church of Good Shepherd Parking full, need to park nearby (though couldn't understand why carpark was full, given each apartment has its own parking lot). Shower compartment not tight shut. Could case flooding in bathroom. Else all is great

The property was just average, there was no proper ventilation in the property, so there was a smell everywhere especially around the bathrooms. Lights were very dim in the rooms, so the rooms were pretty dark even during the day.we stayed for two nights there but towels were not changed by the staff even once. With all the wet towels and lack of ventilation, bathrooms got more stinky. Though our check in was very smooth and receptionist was very nice and friendly, but Reception/ office remains closed for most of the day, so if you need any assistance, there is hardly anyone there to help you. Property has inbuilt heaters but only cold air comes out of them. Each room has separate/ extra heaters but again they hardly work or leave warm air. So the property was pretty cold especially at night time. One thing i like about the property is its location. Also breakfast vouchers provided by the motel were great. Cafe that provides breakfast was pretty good.
