Wonderful

Very comfortable and modern property. Ice cube trays would be very welcome. I recommend not using your palm to enter facilities. The code plus # was much more effective.
Great stay! So clean and new. Check in was very easy. Would recommend staying here!

Not a lodge
This is NOT a lodge. It is in an area of new buildings/houses which are designed into individual units. It is an area containing many of these not a lodge. The area is under construction and is a 5 minutes drive from the town. The unit is well appointed clean and quiet but for the average Kiwi be warned, it is more like social housing thanna lodge.

Great place to stay
Great location, lovely property. Perfectly suited our needs.
It’s digital check in so make sure you get the room Information before you arrive. Contact the property on their phone number and they will text it to you. If you find it difficult to call from your non-New Zealand phone, go to a bar in town and ask the bartender how to make calls in New Zealand. Worked for me. But without this knowledge you can’t get the room information! So do it early and not at the last minute!

Excellent stay
Very comfortable stay. Close to amenities
Very clean
Amazing stay at Skyrim. Quick 15 mins into the main restaurant area or a quick 5 min drive in. The lodge is brand new and very welled thought out. Great location and beautifully decorated. Communication with hotel made the checking process easy. Love the dark sky experience and glad we stayed at Skyrim since it was close by. Walking distance to lake Tekapo is also a huge highlight. Thxs Skyrim.
We expected to have some kind of view of the lake... the photo of the building was the local iconic CHURCH on the lake... we thought it was actually the lodge. Once we got there it was fine enough but we expected more upscale experience. We enjoyed it enough but for us would not choose to stay there next time.
Nice tidy, compact, clean accommodation
Fully equipped kitchen, good shower and large TV. Enjoyed our night away

Property did not meet vision as shown on website. Basically a donga hut split into 3 rooms. Had to get manager (off site) to come and program TV. No iron or ironing board. In the middle of "no where".

한적하고 조용한 위치의 깔끔한 숙소 추천
객실은 비교적 좁은 편이지만, 주방과 욕실은 깨끗하고 사용하기 편리합니다. 침구류는 깨끗하게 정리되어 있었고 객실의 전반적인 관리 또한 훌륭했습니다. 특히, 숙소의 위치가 조용하고 한적한 주택 지역이라 편안한 휴식이 가능하고, 집 밖에서 바로 별도 볼 수 있습니다. 유일한 단점은 객실이 다소 협소하는 점입니다. 그 외 모든 점이 완벽합니다.
