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 :)

It was well thought out from a guest perspective. Great views including a bedroom skylight with an electronic cover. The plumbing fixtures were top notch, as was the bedding. The free breakfast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Best night's stay in NZ so far.

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.

Very unique hotel in a unique environment. Easy walk to downtown Lake Tekapo. Upstairs rooms have a skylight - that was a first. In a place known for low light pollution, it was fun to "sleep under the stars." Terrific experience!

Outstanding hospitality and cleanliness. I gave a 4 on facilities only because the wear and tear of so many guests has damaged some walls....just need some paint touch ups. Otherwise I highly recommend.
