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.

the hotel is very well organized and communication is prompt and effective. Room is very comfortable , spacious and the bathroom is clean with separate shower and bathtub. complimentary breakfast is good and with variable choices. you can choose to eat at the lobby breakfast area or deliver to the room. the only comment is that the highlighted sky window for viewing the stars doesn’t serve the purpose. you can hardly see the stars. I would rather to have a patio than this.

We had a great experience here - the room was spacious and well equipped with incredible views of Lake Tekapo. The skylight provided a really unique and cool view of the stars at night. The hotel is in a hill above Tekapo but is an easy walk or drive into the main town. Staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice! Would recommend and stay here again.
