Absolutely lovely. Extremely clean and new owner is lovely and has refreshed the place, the photos are out of date and the place is even nicer than the photos show. The family suite comes with a fully equipped kitchen including oven and hob which was an unexpected bonus. Would recommend, shame we didn’t stay longer as we had a very comfortable stay.

Great property, Erin, the owner, has only just taken over the property and is doing a stellar job. The motel is very clean and tidy, we had the family room even had a washing machine. Erin has inherited the cleaner, a lady who has been cleaning for years and it shows no dust anywhere, and the bathroom was immaculate great shower pressure. I

Stay at the property from July 6-9 2025. The room was clean and the area was safe. New property owner was friendly and welcoming. The only problem was the internet/wifi which in time will be fixed. Recommend property when staying and wanting to explore Lake Tekapo.

Great stay with a friendly and helping host Good alternative to staying in Tekapo where prices are high due to mass tourism without being too far (30 min-ish by car) Comfortable space and beds Great hot shower with strong jet Terrace in the backyard (I was able to easily dry my tent after camping) Free covered parking spot Located 1 street away from a laundromat (with automated machines that already have soap) Excellent Wi-Fi Kitchenette available Overall good bang for your buck

We overnighted here on our way up north. On the good side, it is a very clean and comfortable place to overnight. It is close to town so we were able to walk out and get a wonderful breakfast pie from a local bakery. Our only hiccup was with coming and going. We arrived on the late side and unfortunately ended up waking the office staff up to tell us how to get in. (New Zealand is so safe they just leave the key in the door for you.) We left out on the early side and could not rouse anyone to leave the key with, so we left it as we found it. I think if we knew the drill, so to speak, the office issues would not have been a concern at all. Overall this is a safe, comfortable place and I would stay there again.
