The off the main road location on the hill gave great panoramic views of the lake and mountains. Only a 500 metre walk to the main town. Great base for day trip to Mount Cook.
Super breakfast delivered to the room. Skylight viewing was ok as the sky darkened and saw satellite early one morning in two night stay. Stars visible. Bed and bath super as was the shower.

Our host Steve was friendly and welcoming. We stayed at the Rowan Cottage which was cute and quaint and met our needs. Adequate heating was supplied but there were no electric blankets so we were glad we brought hot water bottles with us for an Easter stay as the weather was cooling. Quiet, private and beautiful setting amongst the autumn trees. I stayed in one of the sleepouts and my friend stayed inside the house in the queen room. We found the beds comfortable and the sheets were very clean, plenty of duvets and extra blankets. We felt safe and secure. Well set up kitchen made cooking at home a breeze. Not the Ritz but would definitely stay again as best value for money in Lake Tekapo and so close to the attractions. We were travelling on a budget so it was perfect for us.

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.AllisonNew Zealand - 6.0Scored 6.0

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.SharonNew Zealand

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.
