Three Rivers Lodge is located off the southern banks of Lake Tekapo, in the shadow of New Zealand’s picturesque Southern Alps. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

Exceptional welcome by the host! We got a lot of information about the area and details about stargazing which was possible from the lawn directly besides the property (weather dependent though, we had a super clear night). The location was amazing, directly opposite the lake with great views (perfect for a stroll and run along the lakeside). The well known Church of the Good Shepard is either a few minutes drive or 15 minute walk away. The room was very clean and we felt comfortable throughout the whole stay! Would definitely stay here again!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    The history, the incredible views, the farm animals and the walks. The simplicity of the lodge and sharing main areas with so few.

    The room is very clean and the lodge is just right in front the lake. The room is very near to shower and toilet. They provided everything you need for cooking.

    Loved our cabin/lodge with lovely lake view. It was spacious, nicely furnished, with front and side porches, well-equipped kitchen, and a short walk to lake and village. Check in was easy and staff friendly.

    Great experience with the camping vibes! I love the environment. Sharing facilities with many camper vans and lodges. They provide kitchenware in your room so you don't need to share them in the kitchen. The lake view is beautiful and just 2 minute's drive to the restaurant and cafe zone. I will come back again with friends for sure.

    Loved the hot tub and the fire! The ‘Alpine Lodges’ are just charming - beautifully appointed, private and cosy.

    Well appointed & maintained, comfortable & spacious. The lodges are also well spaced from each other so that if large families with noisy children are also in the compound, it should not affect the enjoyment of other guests.

    The views are stunning, the cleanliness is impeccable, the lodges are within walking distance for everything you might want to do whilst in Tekapo. The free upgrade was an amazing surprise and put a lovely end to our trip in New Zealand. Thanks again

    The Alpine Lodges are amazing. We had a week in a self-contained unit. We had a great view of the lake, more than enough firewood to stay warm and the hospitality couldn't have been better. Would love to come back.
