    The Lake is amazing, so peaceful.

    The Lake is amazing, so peaceful. Take a picnic and dip your toes….icy but refreshing! Trekking with Mackenzie’s Alpine Horses was my highlight. Lots of lovely walks around the lake a local area. St.John stargazing experience was fabulous, so humbling and really informative.

    Only stayed in Lake Tekapo because I wanted to walk on the Hooker Valley Track. It was reasonable accommodation a good hour away from Mount Cook. Loved our accommodation in Wee Mack and enjoyed going to the Hot Springs after our long fantastic walk to the Mueller Lake glaciers. Wanted to see the stars but it was either cloudy or the moon was too bright to get that dark sky/ full of stars effect. The Summit sky activity has to be booked at least one month in advance.

    Lake Tekapo is a beautiful location, with lots to see and do. A car is needed to see the full extent of the Lake and surrounding districts. There is a lot of choice from self-cook to takeaways and eat-in restaurants. Something for everyone.

    An absolutely stunning place.

    An absolutely stunning place. The lake is crystal clear and the colour is unreal! There is very little light pollution there, so we were treated to views of the Milky Way. There are some fantastic walks around the lake and the scenery is incredible. We will definitely go back one day! We ate at a great restaurant for two consecutive nights - MacKenzies cafe bar and grill. Brilliant steaks brought to the table on a hot stone so you could cook them at the table.

    Easy to walk around Lake Tekapo in a few hours. The location is great to visit Mt Cook for a day trip. There are many star gazing options, I recommend Billy the Bard! He was fun, entertaining and knowledgeable.

    After security issues with the room, I emailed the manager.

    After security issues with the room, I emailed the manager. They reviewed their processes and agreed that I should be given a full refund for my interupted sleep due to someone letting themselves into my room. They processed the refund onto my credit card so I was satisfied with that outcome.

    The view of Lake Tekapo is simply stunning! We loved that the sliding doors to the balcony could be opened so wide. Parking is available on the street adjacent to the studio. The studio quite spacious and very clean. The bathroom had a heater, which was so nice to experience after a day of hiking! It's a <10 minute walk to the town center. Check in was also very easy. The woman who checked us in was warm and friendly. It was also convenient that the kitchenette had a large counter space as well as plates, glasses, and utensils for use.

    Newly built & open since September, 2022, this hotel was most notable for its very contemporary decor and amenities, such as a heated bathroom floor, heated bathroom towels, large shower stall, water conserving bathroom faucet, 4 USB charging outlets in the room (2 at the bedside), extremely comfortable king sized bed, phenomenal room views of Lake Tekapo and its surrounding snow-capped mountains, not to also mention the complimentary milk & coffee for the room. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful & professional.

    We stayed at the Galaxy Boutique Hotel for 2x nights. The staff, service and location far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't recommend this accommodation enough to others. The staff catered to our every need, even including a delicious cooked breakfast with no additional charge and were absolutely lovely. The room was extremely comfortable but the most incredible part was the views out over Lake Tekapo. We highly highly recommend this Hotel and will definitely stay again if we are back in Lake Tekapo.

    This is probably my best stay ever in Tekapo, comparing to my previous stay in hotels/motels. Location - very close to town centre Kitchen - great kitchen with gas stoves and a big oven Dining room & lounge - open design with a large dining table Rooms - very comfortable * Balcony - this is the highlight of this property. Instead of heading to the lake side, we could easily turn off the lights and sit comfortably on the couch on the balcony to enjoy the night and stargazing.

    Great location, a very quiet and comfortable house with plenty of space. Excellent facilities, also very clean, with everything you need for a great stay. The host (Prue) was great to deal with, very friendly and helpful. Easy access to Lake Tekapo township, only a couple of minutes walk down the road.

    This backpackers was one of the most spotlessly clean places I've ever stayed. Facilities were great and Zoe, on reception, was so friendly and gave us the best recommendations for places to eat and things to do in Tekapo. The view from the main window is gorgeous and it is great value for money.

    The location of the cottage was great, close to the town centre and the lake. Friendly, helpful manager. The cottage is basic and a bit dated, but it's one of the cheaper options in Lake Tekapo and has everyting you need.
