    Guest Access:

    During your stay, you'll have exclusive to all the amenities and spaces within the property.



    The Neighborhood:

    Cherish the enchanting turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo, framed by the majestic Southern Alps. The pace here is relaxed, inviting you to slow down and appreciate the natural beauty at every turn. Take a leisurely stroll along the lakefront in the early morning or late afternoon, when the water reflects the changing colors of the sky in a truly magical display.



    For breathtaking, panoramic views, many of us head to Mt John Observatory, a favorite spot for stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the Southern Hemisphere. When you're in need of a little pampering, Tekapo Springs offers natural hot pools to soak in while enjoying mountain vistas. Foodies will find a handful of cozy cafés and eateries around the village, serving fresh coffee and hearty meals that showcase local flavors.



    Of course, no visit is complete without a stop at the famous Church of the Good Shepherd, which offers a glimpse into our community’s heritage while perfectly capturing the serene essence of Lake Tekapo. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure, a moment of reflection, or a friendly local vibe, this neighborhood provides the ideal setting for a truly unforgettable experience.



    Getting Around:

    Getting around the Lake Tekapo area can be as relaxed or adventurous as you’d like. Many of the main attractions, such as the lakefront and popular eateries, are comfortably within walking distance. If you’re looking to explore further, renting a bicycle is a popular option, and there are well-marked pathways that provide spectacular views along the way.



    For those venturing beyond the immediate town center, driving is typically the most convenient method—especially if you plan to visit Mount John Observatory or other scenic spots around the region. If you’re without a car, several local tour operators and shuttle services offer guided experiences, making it easy to see the area’s highlights without the hassle of navigating on your own.

Good. However the shower handles fall off from time to time and the bathroom tap is misaligned with the sink leading to a weird hand washing experience. The assortment of Teas are just loosely placed all in a cup and you dont know whats what. Check in was easy and great location and view.

If you like a themed room styled by Thing One and Thing Two from Dr Seuss then this is for you . Don’t be fooled by the exposed beams and fireplace photos on the home page being in your room because they are not . Gaining access on arrival which only can be done on a Smartphone if you have signal and if you like dealing with s faceless system then this is for you as well …. it was very stressful . Being very cold and I had visions of having to sleep in our car because no Pin code for our room arrived . Thankfully a cleaner was able to let us in . I wasted no time in checking out as the Sun came up . I was embarrassed I put my wife through that .
