    Tiny little village with supermarket , tourist shops and cafe and restaurants. Some of the restaurants when we stayed in June appeared to be not open scenery is stunning and you would definitely go on a star gazing tour at nite to see the Milky way. We went with chameleon highly recommend that outfit. We had 3 nites which was plenty The town is about half way between Queenstown and Christchurch so makes for an ideal stopping point. Easy access to Mt Cook as well as lots of other stunning scenery. So peaceful and tranquil just the area to chill and relax.

    I always stop in Tekapo to eat and look at the view. It was the first time I stayed in the town. It was really cool to go to the hotpools, which I didn't even know existed, and explore more of the local restaurants.

    We we very disappointed with our stay and would only recommend it as a last resort. The room was clean and adequate, but was small and pokey, and the long hallways narrow. The view was partially obscured by other buildings. The hotel restaurant is closed at night, so no in house bar or food. We found an excellent restaurant in front of the lake. Overall ,overpriced and barely adequate… there must be somewhere better?

    The apartment was extremely well appointed & super comfortable. Loved the heated floor in the bathroom. So much room to move about. The manager was fantastic & so helpful. He is amazing. We would recommend Mantra Lake Tekapo to any of our family or friends passing through the region.

    I have been going there since 1987 and it has never lost its charm. The lake is a beautiful turquoise colour. Mount John is a great place to see the Southern Alps. Mount Cook is nearby. There is a ski field in winter. It is an easy drive from Queenstown or Christchurch.

    Great place to visit beautiful view.

    Great place to visit beautiful view. Colour photos turn out fantastic due to lighting, lake environment colours. Sky at night best I've seen. Rented large house for our family gathering. In advance Contacted Four Square Tekapo they offered to cook chickens, make vegetarian dish, supplied all our food. Also made salads supplied breads, deserts, drinks. We were so pleased with the service this store provided. Perfect. Would of loved to stay longer.

    I stayed in one of the cabin rooms with shared bathrooms, and the cabin was very modern and nice, w a comfy bed and space for my luggage. I really liked that it was right next to the lake and the hot pools, and it was really nice to walk the 5-10mins along the lake to the shops for breakfast. I thought this place was really great value! Staff were really helpful and had good recommendations for star gazing tours. Be aware these cabins were right next to the backpackers area, so a little busy.

    The staff was amazing. I specifically chose Lake Tekapo to satisfy my decades old dream of taking pictures of the milky way. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my project. So helpful on camera settings and post processing suggestions. What a delight. Oh. And the pictures. I was able to get stunning photos of the church and milky way at about 8pm (May 22nd). I came back later at about 9:30pm. The clouds had moved in and almost no stars were visible. Lesson learned.

    Great location, walking distance from the lake. The host was welcoming, check in and out was very easy. The bedroom setup was similar to hotel, the bedding and bedsheets were good qualities. The bathroom was super clean in like new condition. We saw stars at night, very quiet, we slept well. The breakfast was sufficient with lots of fruits, yogurt, toast with smashed avocado etc. The town of lake Tekapo is simply beautiful, great stop.

    It is very clean, well equipped and thoughtfully decorated. Everything is so homey. The accessible bathroom is a bonus for our elderly family members. The host is also very kind and responsive, sending us reminder and everything we need to know. Among the eight different accommodations (motels, serviced apartment, hotels etc.) I stayed during my 2-week New Zealand trip, this place is on the top two :) Highly recommended!

    Beautiful one bedroom apartment with stunning 180 views of Lake Tekapo.. The apartment is upgraded with little details that just adds extra comfort feeling like home.. heated floors, wide balcony, and open roof for stargazing were the highlights. Its beautiful than the pics on the listing. Amazing host too and timely communication. Will definitely be coming back for this airbnb.. Thanks Kaori and Ban.

    The staff was wonderful. Friendly and polite, very kind. The room was very comfortable, with an incredible view. The sun shining into the room in winter made it very comfortable and warm. You can relax on the balcony overlooking Lake Tekapo. The sunrise is also beautiful. You will be well located, in front of all the shoppings.

    An absolutely gorgeous location overlooking Lake Tekapo. One whole wall is glass overlooking the lake. The room was large with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Minutes away from restaurants and a grocery story. Wonderful host. Met us when we arrived and gave us helpful information. Would definitely stay here again!

    This is my fourth time stopping in Lake Tekapo on my way from Christchurch to Glenorchy. For the location and value, I would choose this motel over the two others where I've stayed in Lake Tekapo. This one was quieter and cleaner than the other two.

    Nice basic stay but with a kitchen! The star gazing is unreal and it’s nice to have a porch to do that on. Heated bed, towel rack and bathroom are so nice. And it’s just a few blocks from Lake Tekapo! Super clean with all the necessities!
