Very quiet and nice property. Only suggestion is a better light blocking from the hallway. The light in the hallway can turn on and light up the whole bedroom.

Lovely new boutique hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Lake Tekapo is a small town with limited eating options but the dining is very good. We were unlucky with the stars as it was an overcast but the sunrise more than made up for it!

Beautiful views, rooms were great too. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The only negative I can think of is the shower wasnt the cleanest, and the tap on vanity leaks so had to keep mopping it up, but hopefully this is being remedied. The breakfast was fantastic, and heating works reslly well - we were nice and toasty the whole stay :)

Comfortable clean room for one night stay. Car parking was limited and access difficult in snowy conditions. Steps up to room were very icy and slippery but staff were trying to keep ice to minimum.

The room was fantastic. We liked how we could have seen stars at night through the hole in the roof. However it snowed overnight so we saw nothing. The view from our room was amazing. It included the lake too. Parking was just below. We were on level 2 but it felt like 3 because reception was on level 2. Breakfast in the morning was included too and it was unlimited bread bacon eggs and the usual western fare. The ladies there were very friendly too. It seemed like everyone was heading where we were heading so when others asked her about their route, we just listened in.

Excellent hotel and well placed in Lake Tekapo. We were greeted by friendly staff who kindly showed us to room. Our room was located on the upper floor, so came with the skylight which allows you to star gaze. The views from the large window are stunning and is a huge plus when staying here. The beds were comfortable and provided a relaxing night's sleep. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order, whilst there is also a self-service area with toast, fruit and yoghurt. More than enough choice for my wife and I. The hotel is located around a 10 minute walk to the main bars/restaurants.
