The walls were a bit thin, allowing noises from the next door rooms to be clearly heard. Other than that, the room was clean, location great and checkin was easy.

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.

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!!
