We were delighted to be offered an upgrade to the “honeymoon suite”. The clean roomy cottage had a homey feel. The location was ideal ~ tucked away in the trees and yet a 5 minute walk to trails around the lake and a 10 minute walk from several restaurants.

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.

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.
Newly built & open since September, 2022, this hotel was most notable for its very contemporary decor and amenities, such as a heated bathroom floor, heated bathroom towels, large shower stall, water conserving bathroom faucet, 4 USB charging outlets in the room (2 at the bedside), extremely comfortable king sized bed, phenomenal room views of Lake Tekapo and its surrounding snow-capped mountains, not to also mention the complimentary milk & coffee for the room. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful & professional.
We stayed in the West apartment. Fantastic space with an elevated position and a spectacular view of Lake Tekapo. Well designed, clean and comfortable, this modern 2-bedroom unit with expansive deck is a great place to stay for 2 couples traveling together. The fireplace was a nice addition for chilly evenings. The apartment is about a 3-minute drive to the supermarket, shops and restaurants of Lake Tekapo and about an hour from Aoraki Mt. Cook National Park. Very quiet neighborhood. Ample parking. Highly recommended.
Huge house with gorgeous views in a quiet neighborhood; if you have been to Lake Tekapo before, you know everything is close by! Super easy check in, and even easier check out. The fireplace was a bonus for a chilly night, although they also have heathers if that's not your thing. The place was clean and tidy, and it has absolutely everything you could possibly need. 10/10, we would definitely stay again, thanks team!
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.
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.
The hotel was outstanding. Spotlessly clean, staff really friendly. The view from the room was out of this world, looking over Lake Tekapo. Highly recommend booking an top floor room (out of 2) so at night you can open the skylight blinds and be blown away by the sights of the stars truly breathtaking. Will definitely stay here again.
An absolutely gorgeous location overlooking Lake Tekapo. One whole wall is glass overlooking the lake. The room was large with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Minutes away from restaurants and a grocery story. Wonderful host. Met us when we arrived and gave us helpful information. Would definitely stay here again!
The view was great as we were able to see stars and milky way in outdoor patio also with Lake Tekapo's view in the morning Great kitchen equipment with a complete cooking utensil set. Indoor fireplace was our favorites place to gather with our kids. The staff is also very helpful.
The unit has a wonderful view over Lake Tekapo. It is quiet and very functional, with comfortable bed, kitchen, modern facilities. The town is close by with restaurants and shopping. Check-in and check-out was very easy with a central office that is very efficient.
O love that place! The check-in is quick, the staff is helpful. You have a beautiful view of Lake Tekapo. Appliances working as should be, beds are comfy, and nice bbq area. The room was clean and it was a good price for what the place offered.
The location was just in front of lake tekapo. However if you arrive late its difficult to findout your cottage in the dark. Room was spacious with bathroom attached. You can park your car just in front of your cottage.
The location was great. Very near to town where the shops and eateries are. The accommodation faces Lake Tekapo and the view is just spectacular. Check in and going in and out the holiday park is easy.
Great views over Lake Tekapo from all over the apartment. Well equipped with everything you need. This was a good location to visit Mount Cook National Park and the surrounding area, would stay again!
The room, the location and the views were great. Large kitchen and living room were on the second floor, which offered beautiful views of the lake Tekapo. The mattress was soft and comfortable.
Hotel overlooks Lake Tekapo, with walking distance to the Church of the Good Shepherd. Big park in front of hotel & lots of eateries & a supermarket nearby.
