Location is amazing! Right by the lake and a 1 minute drive to the hotsprings. Accomodation is decent for the price - it's a backpackers so bit of noise and doors banging etc. But worth the price.

Located right in front of the edge of Lake Tekapo, convenient for a stroll down the lake. Well maintained properties consist of several locations within a walking distance from the main reception office.

Everything was amazing considering the price paid. Only suggestion I could make is to potentially add some form of heating to the bathrooms for outside cabins. A -9⁰ morning nearly had my cheeks frozen to the toilet seat 🚽 ❄️

It was an unusual property, compared to many that I have booked on your site. It was more of a hostel, and for that purpose it served the guests very well. It was clean, safe, and well appointed. But as a "hotel", it was a little less than we expected. The room was clean, warm, and comfortable, but the bathrooms were seperate and FREEZING COLD. The facility nextdoor afforded good dining, ice skating, and snow tubing. The setting was a beautiful mountains and lakefront view.
