    stunning, stunning, stunning

    The views from my room were absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the crystal-clear lake and the iconic church. I loved enjoying breakfast at the adjacent restaurant, where hotel guests score a 10% discount. It was so nice to have quick access...

    breathtaking lake views, convenient parking, on-site pool

    The building structure needs serious attention!!! Floors creak like a haunted house!!! A simple upgrade could make a huge difference to the guest experience!!! More storage options in the room would also be appreciated!!!

    lakefront view
    clean room
    convenient location
    bathroom upgrades
    spotty wifi

    Enjoyed the stunning lakefront view from my room, making mornings special with breathtaking scenery. The room was clean and warm, perfect for chilly nights. Enjoyed a handy location near restaurants and shops, all within walking distance. Parking right outside my unit was a big convenience. However, the bathroom definitely needs upgrading. some paint was peeling and the seal around the sink was moldy. Wifi connection was spotty, making it frustrating at times, and our bed felt a bit too soft for comfort. Some noise from the hallway could be heard at night, which disturbed my sleep a little.

    The view was stunning, super cozy for star gazing at night. Quick access to local shops and hot springs was a plus!

    Felt so relaxed, no complaints at all.

    noisy winds

    7/10

    Ope, the location was just perfect, right near all the cute little shops and eateries! The room was cozy and warm, which I really appreciated on those chilly winter nights. I could barely see the mountains thanks to some buildings in front, but I still marveled at the beauty. Just wish those noisy winds quieted down at night.

    stunning view
    excellent service
    lack of hooks
    limited space
    dinner reservation

    The experience was highlighted by the stunning lake views right from the room, making mornings particularly special. The staff provided excellent service, and the restaurant was a delightful spot, especially for breakfast. However, I noticed a lack of hooks in the room for hanging personal items, which could have made it more convenient. Additionally, space was limited for bedside tables, impacting usability for families. Reserving dinner in nearby restaurants well in advance is essential due to high demand.

    lake view
    cozy lounge
    peaceful courtyard
    neighboring room noise

    I really enjoyed my stay, especially having breakfast at the lovely cafe and the stunning lake view from my room. There are great relaxation spots available, including a cozy lounge and a peaceful courtyard to unwind in. The only hiccup was some noise from neighboring rooms, but I managed with earplugs. 😊

    This place is just an appropriate option for a speedy visit in Lake Tekapo with decent value for money. Had a clean, small room with a comfy double bed and a single. Plenty of tea and coffee available. Be aware that everything, including reception, was closed when I arrived late.

    We enjoyed breathtaking views of the Southern Alps while sipping hot cocoa in our room. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw from local shops. The heating was excellent, keeping our family cozy during cold nights, especially...
