Snug and comfy 2 nights stay for us and 1 child. The property was super clean with all the trimmings provided, bathroom was amazing and double glazed windows helped the -1 degree cold away. The only input I would give is to add some clothes hangers behind the bathroom door. Thank you Megan and Phil!!

Recommend stay if passing

Good stay in the studio. Small space but adequate for one night. Plenty of hot water and kitchen equipment. As the motel is situated along the main road it did get noisy with heavy lorry passing from 5am. That said we would stay again

If you’re looking to be away from the tourists in Tekapo, this is the place. Only 15 minutes away, it’s almost the middle of nowhere, in a good way. Just a few rooms, in a beautiful mountain setting, and if it hadn’t been so cloudy the starry sky would have been amazing. Quirky retro display across the highway and local history on display. Owner was very kind and helpful.

Made to feel very welcome

Our room was spotlessly clean and we could park right outside. We were provided with tea, coffee, etc. and some milk and a few slices of bread, plus butter and jam for toast - much appreciated. The bed was comfortable and the location pretty quiet, so we slept well. Our hosts had thoughtfully turned on the heater - as the nights were cooler. Plenty of hot water, clean towels and toiletries. The room is equipped with a small fridge (with freezer compartment) and a microwave - plus kettle and toaster, crockery and cutlery etc. We could have made the short drive to Tekapo, Fairlie or Kemble to eat out, but were satisfied with a basic meal of our own. Our hosts offer to pick up meals produced by the Tavern in Kemble if requested in advance. We had a table and a couple of chairs on a small deck outside. The motel was an ideal base for our star gazing excursion at the nearby Dark Skies Project and for a day trip to Mount Cook - about an hour and a half drive through stunning vistas. Our hosts were clearly working hard to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - they gave a short run through of the facilities and made it clear that we had only to ask if we needed something.
