    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. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

    Lake Tekapo is beautiful and very relaxing but only needs a couple of days to be seen thoroughly. There's a pleasant, flat walk along and above the shoreline that's not too taxing for younger children and there are trails and hot spring pools for older kids/adults. There's also mini golf or ice skating, depending on what time of the year you go. Shops are very limited and those available are overpriced - if you are staying self-catered, try to bring food with you or eat out. Thoroughly recommend 25 degree - they don't take bookings so you'll need to get there as they open (for dinner) or be prepared to wait/come back later. Another downside is the inconsiderate behaviour of some of the other tourists - if you're trying to get any decent photos of the Good Shepherd church or stars, you'll need to go very early/very late or find a secluded place for night photos. Some people seemed unaware that this is a spot for limited light so had car headlights on full whilst sitting outside the church - which made our photographers trip a bit wasted.

    Lake Tekapo is a lovely town with beautiful views of the mountains and lakes. Lots of lovely walking trails and places to explore in and around the lakes. There are great cycling trails in the area too. Mountain Cook in only a short distance away. There are hot springs and pools to visit and great places to eat at.

    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.

    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.

    The family room suite up on the 3rd floor was spacious, offered everything you might need, the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was generous and delicious. The host kindly explained about various walks available, as i had arrived after the information centre had closed for the day. The views of Lake Tekapo and Aoraki from Peel House B & B were fantastic. It was also conveniently located close to the restaurants, and the Lake.

    The house was in a great location with amazing views of Lake Tekapo. The house was in a lovely quiet area. The house was very spacious with plenty of comfortable beds and two large living/lounge areas to relax in. The kitchen was great size. Separate toilet and bathroom for extra guests. Our dog loved his stay too, especially watching the little rabbits hopping around outside.

    The best view of Lake Tekapo in town! Huge picture windows in the communal kitchen and dining room; upstairs loft area with same views plus two outside decks; right on a grassy park that slopes down to the lake. Easy access to groceries, restaurants, the beach, The Dark Sky Project. We had an ensuite room with a large bathroom. The common areas were well kept.

    We had a lovely and very comfortable stay at the Galaxy hotel in Lake Tekapo. The view was spectacular, definitely the highlight of this hotel. Everything was very clean and the staff made us feel very welcome by taking us to the room and making sure everything was up to standard. The bath was an excellent touch especially with the view being visible.

    Great stay. The facilities were spotlessly clean. The holiday park has everything you could need from the kitchen, showers and bathroom, to a TV room, BBQ's, and playground. Great location to the lake/Mt John walking track and hot pools. Friendly, helpful staff. The cabins are also stocked with cooking equipment which was a great addition.

    This is a re-furbished house with a spectacular view of Lake Tekapo - it was furnished and decorated nicely throughout. Bathrooms and kitchen look newly done up and the main bathroom had a nice new bathtub. There is a big balcony that can be accessed from lounge and master bedroom. House is located in a residential area near town center.

    Absolutely fantastic experience. I loved being able to sit by the large windows and enjoy the beautiful view of Lake Tekapo. It was only a quick 2-3 minute drive to the town center, but the hotel itself was in a peaceful and quiet area. The bed was really comfortable, and I especially liked having a skylight right above it.

    Location good , near to lake shore, supermarket and restaurants. Bed comfortable and decent pressure & heat in shower. Partial lake views ( but sadly much reduced by Dark Sky Project & Backpackers buildings recently built in front).
