My family and I recently stayed at the Galaxy Boutique Hotel during our holiday on the South Island . All of us found the hotel to be very modern , clean and comfortable. The property was within easy walking distance of Lake Tekapo and great area dining options , and the staff at Galaxy Boutique were warm , welcoming and helpful throughout our stay . This hotel is a great option for anyone wishing to explore Aoraki National Park and surrounds , with the mountain located one hour driving distance from the hotel . We would rate Galaxy Boutique Hotel as a 10/10 for any travellers planning a visit to the Mackenzie region !
