The location is fantastic. Staff is really great - Cecelia was a pleasure to deal with. Check-in was smooth. As I was travelling with elderly parents, she kindly helped me drag a couple of bags from the car park to the room on checking in and when checking out. Breakfast options were great and were kindly delivered to the room. Highly recommend this stay. The view of the lake from the room in the morning was priceless!

We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort.
The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings.
The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food.
We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake.
Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

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 staff was amazing. I specifically chose Lake Tekapo to satisfy my decades old dream of taking pictures of the milky way. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my project. So helpful on camera settings and post processing suggestions. What a delight. Oh. And the pictures. I was able to get stunning photos of the church and milky way at about 8pm (May 22nd). I came back later at about 9:30pm. The clouds had moved in and almost no stars were visible. Lesson learned.
This is an excellent property with a great view of Lake Tekapo. The property is double glazed and well insulated and catches the sun well so is very warm. The beds were very comfortable and two bath rooms made for a great family stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the fittings throughout the house are all of a high standard. It was only a 10 minute walk down to the waterfront restaurants. Very easy pickup and return of key. The living area is spacious with great views..
Beautiful one bedroom apartment with stunning 180 views of Lake Tekapo.. The apartment is upgraded with little details that just adds extra comfort feeling like home.. heated floors, wide balcony, and open roof for stargazing were the highlights. Its beautiful than the pics on the listing.
Amazing host too and timely communication. Will definitely be coming back for this airbnb..
Thanks Kaori and Ban.
This was our 2nd stay within a week and everything about this boutique hotel is exceptional. The staff are warm and welcoming, the rooms are beautiful with endless lake and Mountain views, so close to everything that Lake Tekapo offers and the complimentary breakfast is simply amazing. We plan to stay here every time we visit the area, definitely earned its 5 star rating, an absolute stunner!
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.
Oh this place has the WOW factor.
Superb views of Lake Tekapo, super clean, comfortable beds, FANTASTIC kitchen with so much room and so well equipped. The Hist John us a lovely man who went out of his way to help us. Friendly staff. Such a great place to stay. I’ll definitely be back 👍😊
The house was huge! Plenty of space to chill and relax. The property was facing Lake Tekapo so the views in the morning were amazing. Got the keys from the lock box so it was really hassle free. I could arrive late and still get in easily.
The property was well decorated, had a great full kitchen and several heating alternatives. The position was quiet with an excellent view of Lake Tekapo and the snow capped mountains.
Stunning scene from our ensuite. The staff was very friendly and didn’t blame us for accidentally broke the pot. Complete facilities in the Holiday Park. Really a good experience!
friendly staff on reception, room very clean and comfortable, although hotel is on main state highway - you couldnt hear any road noise. Our room had great view over Lake Tekapo
Great cosy apartment close to all facilities and sights of Lake Tekapo. Easy drive to Mount Cook NP. Apartment had all that we needed with nice balcony to enjoy a sundowner.
Exceptional location. Beautiful view. House was warm when we arrived as heating had been left on for our arrival. Short walk to Lake Tekapo village. Clean.
