Galaxy Boutique Hotel, hotel in Lake Tekapo

Situated in Lake Tekapo, 46 km from Mt. Dobson, Galaxy Boutique Hotel features accommodation with a shared lounge and free private parking.

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?

    The apartment was extremely well appointed & super comfortable. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. So much room to move about. The manager was fantastic & so helpful. He is amazing. We would recommend Mantra Lake Tekapo to any of our family or friends passing through the region.

    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.

    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.

    Clean, quiet, private. Shared restroom(s) and shower(s) were steps from our cabin. They were very clean. Lake Tekapo is just across the road from the lodge. The views were amazing. Nearby is the iconic Good Shepherd church. Thy skies were partly cloudy the night we were there; however, views of the night sky were awe inspiring. Sunrise on the lake was breathtaking.

    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.

    The location is great just nearby the bus stop! I’m highly recommend for those who are solo travelers and use buses to Lake Tekapo. The facilities such as kitchens and common areas are also great and a room is minimum necessary for solo travelers. Highly recommend 👍
