Fabulous location - 5 minutes drive from the town yet secluded enough to feel like you are in the wilderness. The wood fireplace was extra special and the bed had the most comfortable doona that was warm but so lightweight it made you just want to cocoon. The design of the cabin was well thought out and you wondered how they managed to place all
amenities in such an organised way. Sam the manager was extra helpful and friendly . We organised a fishing tour with Tim who went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience.

The place is lovely and in the middle of nature, the best we had on our 10 days trip on the south island. We stayed in 'Tom's hut', this is detached from the main building but right next to it. The hut is very cosy and the heating is very strong. We also really liked the common areas with the big kitchen and the fireplace with firewood. While staying there, we hiked across the farm and beyond on land that's not public to enjoy the beautiful scenery, a unique experience. Thanks Alana for being so helpful and for her kids showing us the farm animals :)

Tiny little village with supermarket , tourist shops and cafe and restaurants. Some of the restaurants when we stayed in June appeared to be not open scenery is stunning and you would definitely go on a star gazing tour at nite to see the Milky way. We went with chameleon highly recommend that outfit. We had 3 nites which was plenty The town is about half way between Queenstown and Christchurch so makes for an ideal stopping point. Easy access to Mt Cook as well as lots of other stunning scenery. So peaceful and tranquil just the area to chill and relax.DemonjockAustralia - 8.0Scored 8.0

I always stop in Tekapo to eat and look at the view. It was the first time I stayed in the town. It was really cool to go to the hotpools, which I didn't even know existed, and explore more of the local restaurants.GabrielleNew Zealand - 6.0Scored 6.0

We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort. The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings. The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food. We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake. Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.SimonAustralia - 10Scored 10
Great place to visit beautiful view.
Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering.

We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.AllisonNew Zealand

- From US$140.10 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 3,055 reviewsThe staff was amazing. I specifically chose Lake Tekapo to satisfy my decades old dream of taking pictures of the milky way. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my project. So helpful on camera settings and post processing suggestions. What a delight. Oh. And the pictures. I was able to get stunning photos of the church and milky way at about 8pm (May 22nd). I came back later at about 9:30pm. The clouds had moved in and almost no stars were visible. Lesson learned.JonathanUnited States

The property is double glazed and well insulated and catches the sun well so is very warm. The beds were very comfortable and two bath rooms made for a great family stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the fittings throughout the house are all of a high standard. It was only a 10 minute walk down to the waterfront restaurants. Very easy pickup and return of key.

SaraUnited States - 9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 100 reviewsIt is very clean, well equipped and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is so homey. The accessible bathroom is a bonus for our elderly family members. The host is also very kind and responsive, sending us reminder and everything we need to know. Among the eight different accommodations (motels, serviced apartment, hotels etc.) I stayed during my 2-week New Zealand trip, this place is on the top two :) Highly recommended!

There were some street lamps but the area remains dark enough to capture shots of the night sky.
